Coruageous

Courage is an odd thing.

I've found it to happen at either end of fear.

Before there is fear, there is courage - the will to do. "To hell with consequences, why not?"

Then comes fear. Wanting to avoid confrontation. To avoid the possibility of failure. "What if she says no? What happens then?"
"What if it isn't supposed to be me? What if she isn't in to guys?"

At the end of it all there is a final bout of courage. This last courage comes from lack of options. "If I don't do it, I'm a goner."
