courage

forgiveness takes courage. apologizing takes courage. mending ways takes courage.

and sometimes you have to be courageous.

and it's stinkin scary. especially if things don't turn out how you want them to.
it actually really stinks.

but you can't be a friend to someone who doesn't want you. you can force happiness on someone else.

you just gotta have courage. keep facing the darkness.

and remember: there is sunshine beyond the rain.
