 Lately, I've heard a lot of people talk about cynicism as if it's being brave. Like it takes courage to be realistic, to see things in the worst possible light. And I reject that premise. See, I think courage is daring to believe in something that you cannot see. Daring to trust and hope for a future that is not yet here. That takes courage. That is truly brave. And might I add, it is far more rewarding than the path of cynicism.
