It is a long journey with LOTS of pain along the way. Even once you do meet the right person, doesn't mean the path becomes clear for just enjoying and plowing ahead. It's just the BEGINNING of the bumps, obstacles, hurt feelings, and crazy decisionmaking. But what is life without all this? We become emotional and get hurt when we're invested and connected. That's a sign we're truly living. Well said, Deena! It is a long journey with LOTS of pain along the way.

I seriously felt a bit silly basically writing that we're all brave for living... I mean, how can something be considered brave if we all do it? But it's true! We are making choices at every moment, what we want to do, how we want to live and, actually, IF we want to live. Maybe that's why God created us in a way that it is possible for us to take our own lives. Then we have to admit that every moment we're still alives, it's partially our decision to be alive.

It's an amazing talk, especially the end: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/elizabeth_gilbert_on_genius.html I just watched this talk on TED, and it expresses exactly what you said above about all of us being brave and deserving recognition for just being people.
