Even if the World is Crazy

If I had a genie, my first wish would be more courage.
You and me, we’d be together by then.

There are a lot of words to describe this fear. It’s better I did not use them.
I think we’d be married with kids by now.
I know, I know.
Kids?
In this world?
That’s why I would need that courage.
Wouldn’t that be cool? Just with a few words and poof, a brave Christian appears out of nowhere.

I thought I was brave before.
But then you sit down and think about it.
So many moves are made out of fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of taking the chance.
More importantly, fear of being happy.
Sounds ironic. How could you fear being happy when that’s all you’ve ever wanted?
That’s the thing.
I thought happiness only was allowed to look one way for so long. Yet, here we are.
So, maybe happiness is scary because it’s not a one-time thing.
It’s the pursuit of happiness over everything.

Here’s my little secret.
If I wished for a genie to grant me all the courage in the world, the easiest thing for the genie to do is to give me you. Because the genie would know you make me brave. With you, the scary shit doesn’t seem so…. scary.
