Romans & histoires Bravery Quote

Hindi ako gumalaw. Death waited. Tiningnan ko ang frozen street, ang ulan na nakabitin sa hangin, ang silent phone ko, at ang lalaking imposible pero nandito sa harap ko. “If I go inside,” tanong ko, halos hindi lumalabas ang boses, “am I going to die?” “Not tonight.” “That’s not comforting.” “It wasn’t meant to be.” I wanted to be brave. Pero minsan pala, bravery didn’t feel like courage. Minsan, it just felt like takot na wala nang ibang mapuntahan.

“Minsan naiisip ko... kung wala kayo ni Kairi, baka 'di ko na talaga nagawa ‘to.” Lumapit si Keiko sa kaibigan saka niyakap nito nang mahigpit. “Kung alam mo lang, bruh, kung gaano ka namin hinahangaan. Hindi madali ang harapin ang ganitong laban, lalo na sa mundong kadalasan pinipili ang manahimik. But you... decided to stand up. That's why I'm proud of you, bruh. You're not just brave—you're powerful.” “Hindi ko nga rin alam kung saan ko kinukuha ang tapang, bruh,” ani Abby sa mahinang tinig.

"So, you don't really know me?" "Hindi nga kita kilala, okay? Kailangan pa ba kitang makilala?" Hindi ko rin alam kung saan ko napulot ang lakas ng loob ko nang mga oras na iyon. Hindi ko lamang inialis ang pagkakatitig ko sa kanya kahit pa nanginginig na ang mga kamay ko sa kaba. Matalim ang pagkakatitig niya sa akin at para bang pwede na akong mamatay sa ttig na iyon. "You're quite brave, huh? Well, let's see where your bravery would take you."

Binaon ko ang aking mukha sa una ko nang tumunog ang cellphone ko at bumungad sa akin ang mga mensahe galing kay Luke sa messenger. Luke: Before you go to bed I just want to share a verse with you from thwe Bible. This keeps me from overthinking a lot these days. Luke: It is found in Isaiah 41:10, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Luke: I'll pray for you. Goodnight and see you on Monday. Hindi ko mapigilan na mapaiyak dahil sa nabasa. Hindi ko alam kung bakit sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko ngayon.

he said "Sige na, uwi na, bukas kakausapin ko magulang mo okay?" I said. "What?" gulat niyang sambit. "Ayoko, baka kung ano gawin nila sa iyo," nag-aalalang sambit niya, "Hey it's fine naman. Kung ayaw nila sa'kin. I will still fight gaya ng ginagawa mo sa'kin. I want to be brave like you," I said. "You're the bravest among others okay? You almost lost yourself yet you're here with me, still fighting for what's right," he explained. I don't know what to say...I'm so lucky to have him in my life. I was thankful that I met him but it was a coincidence.

Pero masaya ako dahil sa pakiramdam na may nagaalala pa pala sa akin. “I really admire you for being brave. You've done enough, give yourself a break. Be brave enough to fight for what you think is right and what you deserved. You deserve more.”

At habang iniisip ko iyon, naalala ko ang sinabi ni Marco noong gabi: “You just need to be brave enough to face everything.” Ngayon, alam ko na kung ano ang gagawin ko. Habang naghahanda ako para sa susunod na hakbang, ramdam ko ang bigat ng responsibilidad sa balikat ko. Pero kasabay nito, naramdaman ko rin ang pag-asa. “Everisha,” bulong ko sa sarili ko habang nakatingin sa malayo. “I’ll fight for you. I’ll fight for us. And I’ll make sure the world knows the truth.”

Inilibot ko ang aking paningin at nakita ko ang iba't ibang quotes na nakasabit sa daraanan. | It's hard to answer the question "What's wrong?" when nothing's right. | Sinunod sunod ko ang pagbasa sa mga ito, nakalilibang kasi. | "We can never go back & change what has been done......but we can always learn the lessons to make things better next time...." | | "Replace tears with smiles! Don't be afraid of wrinkles as you age, because wrinkles are a sign of laughter and smiles." | Ang cute naman nito!

Bahagya pa akong nagulat nang hawakan niya ang kamay ko. "Life must have been tough for you," her gaze was so soft that it gaves me so much comfort. Comfort that I didn't know I've been longing for. "But I want you to know that I'm so proud of you for not giving up in your lowest. Thank you for being brave, Ciara. You may not know this but you did it. You made it. You fought well and you did a great job fighting for your life through your hardest times. You're a brave warrior, Ciara, because you're still here, fighting for everything. And I'm so thankful for that. Please, keep going, I know you're almost at the end and something's great are waiting for you. So please, survive from this cruel

bulong ko, halos hindi marinig, "I... I've been so scared. I didn't know if I could... if I could ever be enough." "Anak," sagot niya, may lambing at tibay, "It's okay to be scared. Being brave doesn't mean you aren't afraid. It means you face it anyway. And you don't have to face it alone. I'm here. Always." Napaiyak ako nang dahan-dahan, iniikot ang towel sa kamay ko, nanginginig sa gitna ng takot at kaluwagan.
