Brave

Sara Bareilles has a highly infectious song called "Brave" which was a huge breakout hit for her. Recently it ended up on my feed and listened to the lyrics which were about finding your courage in a world of conformity. 

I thought about bravery and how sometimes it isn't borne out of singular defiance but out of a fatigue of a status quo we can no longer stomach. We are disappointed with ourselves and must break out of a situation which no longer works and perhaps never did. 

Many of us live that kind of experience where a tiny spark of courage ignites a bigger fire which is then thankfully very difficult to put out.

It can also spread.
