Very understandable. These are the times that tell us what we’re made of and force us to decide who we want to be going forward. Courage isn’t not-being-afraid. It’s being strong in the face of the emotions you describe. Many people here have that quality in them and I know you have it in you too. Hang in there.
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated."
LL, wonderful post. 🤍
