Bloganuary 2022 – Day 11

What does it mean to live boldly?

Sometimes it means having the courage to do what’s right, even when it’s not the thing you want to do.

To live boldly means not hiding from life. To understand that brazenness is not boldness, even if the thesaurus says it is. Living boldly means sitting in the most uncomfortable parts of your brain and having an authentic conversation with yourself. To live bravely and love fiercely. I think to be bold means to also pull away from yourself and show kindness and compassion to everyone.

To live boldly is to be present in the world.
