The Courage

2 min readJun 20, 2026

It takes courage to give yourself in someone else’s hands. It takes courage to let your emotions depend on someone else’s mood. It takes courage to tell someone that you love them more than you love yourself.
And that’s why most of us step back and take a road where we do not have to tell anything. We all get scared after that one shot of scene where the heart raced like anything, when everything felt like no more, when there was this deep ache in something much deeper than the heart itself, like a huge void which is infinite with no end.
After that it takes courage, it takes time, it takes a holy soul to bring the trust back.

It takes courage to not expect anything in return. It takes courage to keep getting hurt. It takes courage to stay. It takes courage to move away. It takes courage to think about yourself.
To stay or move on, both are equally heartbreaking, if you stay and think about moving on every minute, you have already teared apart. If you move on; missing every inch of the time you spent together, you are still in her/his zone. Decision either right or wrong should be something to be not regretted.

There’s this controversial thing which humans have; I noticed quite a few times, if I tell you, I need you to breathe there are most likely chances you would not come, if I tell you, I won’t be there when you would need me breathing there are most likely chances you would miss me and want me and wait for me to come back then you come to me. So, humans like this feeling of missing someone then they realize the actual importance, so humans play the games to make the opponent feel like how they want them to feel. but Is love about playing games? shouldn’t it be the most honest thing?

It takes courage to love again. It takes courage to fall again. It takes courage to shut the thoughts running in your mind. It takes courage to accept that you love. It takes courage to accept the love.
we do push back our lovers when we are not ready to accept the love, we are not ready to love ourself, we are not ready to feel that we deserve love. The art of losing yourself when that particular person didn’t feel it right. There is someone who’d make you fall in love for yourself again incase you give a chance; that takes the courage.

If I don’t love myself, how will I love you?
