Stories of Bravery  Back to Stories of Bravery

David from Indiana

Bravery to me means:

Finding yourself.

Always showing love and kindness to your enemies.

Believing in the person that you were born to be even when society tells you that you're not a person at all.

Confronting your deepest, darkest and most troubling thoughts.

Accepting yourself.

Loving your insecurities and misfortunes, because without them, you wouldn't be the person you are today.

Shouting to the world that you love Jesus even when the world tells you that Jesus hates you.

Loving yourself.

Getting my family to accept me being gay.

Not being afraid to tell everyone what I think about gay rights and gay marriage.

Telling my dad that he's wrong when he says the Bible hates.

Going to high school everyday even though I barely had any friends.

Going back to my small hometown and not being afraid to blast my favorite music, LADY GAGA.
