I am a coward in some aspects of my life. A recent situation in my life shone a light on the fear that I hold and the consequences of that on myself and my alienated son. What I thought was being courageous, was in fact leading to more pain, sadness and anger. This video done by JulienHimself inspired me to get real with myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0jvHNVrPjw

Why do we compromise who we are? In many cases its because we have learned that who we are does not always fit into the 'mold' and I use that term intentionally.
