Quote by S.G. Blaise

“With two fingers, I pick it up to examine it. The black leather of the dagger’s hilt shows signs of frequent use. There is something about this dagger. It looks familiar to me, but I can’t imagine where I could have seen it. I turn it to the side. Its blade shines in the bright Fla’mma-infused candlelight. Dark blood covers the sharp tip of it.”

“What does it mean to be comfortably afraid? For me, the idea is simple. It’s about learning to deal wisely with fear, finding a way to let your nerves guide you rather than stop you. It’s settling yourself in the presence of life’s inevitable zombies and monsters so that you may contend with them more rationally, and trusting your own assessment of what’s harmful and what’s not. When you live this way, you are neither fully comfortable nor fully afraid. You accept that there’s a middle zone and learn to operate inside of it, awake and aware, but not held back.”

“Unless you have the courage to ask and to listen, you will never know what battles have been fought and won in the lonely shadows of another person's mind. You will never know what courage is required for them to rise and face the day, to stand their ground with conviction, or to bear their burdens without flinching. So I challenge you to listen. To be worthy of trust and vulnerability. Do not judge strength by what you see, or one day, you will find that a true warrior has no need of weapons, accolades, or boasting to prove their worth.”

“Courage is certainly not the absence of fear. The ability to look fear in the eye, to stand up to what scares you, is courage. So, being able to face Life’s upheavals, without giving up, without becoming bitter, is courage. Being able to withstand pain, while choosing to not suffer from it, is courage. Choosing to immerse yourself in what you love doing, when darkness engulfs you, is courage. To let go, and to flow with Life, is courage. Being useful, even when you can’t be successful in a worldly sense, is courage. To live a Life of love, compassion, dignity and cheer, despite constant pain, despite enduring constraints, is courage. To laugh at yourself, at your situation, and at Life, is courage! To be happy, to be non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering, despite the circumstances, is courage.”

“I hate when people say they are not creative. That destructive self-denial keeps them trapped within the confines of a false bubble of protection. What they are doing is attempting to not feel the judgement of others and to not have their feelings hurt. Just like giftedness, everyone has a degree of, and an area in which, they are either more gifted or more creative than the average person. Believing in your abilities is the first step in overcoming this fear.”

“How Shall I Ever Thank You? Ode to my precious Mother For saving my life When there was a plot to end it For loving me When I felt unloved For treating me with kindness When some were unkind For standing by my side When it was not easy For providing unwavering support When I needed you the most For brightening up my days As I faced dark clouds For finding solutions When I went through challenges For offering courage When I was afraid For bringing me hope When I was in despair For showing me the way When I went astray For being able to pray When I asked for a prayer For everything you have done How shall I ever thank you?”
