apprehensive - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

I could tell he was a little apprehensive, but that is the most natural of emotions when we see something or someone that has the potential to bring wonderfulness into our lives. What's more, the emotion was mirrored in my soul. This was a real moment, significant and potent.

Be confident, don't apprehend yourself when you are about to make brave leaps of faith and learning.

There was a feeling in my gut that said, "no," but another in my heart that said, "yes." And what are we if don't fight to find the courage to do what is right for others. They call it apprehensive, as if we are afraid of being apprehended by something or someone, but it's all rubbish really, isn't it? When we choose to be brave instead of being the puppets of fear everything get's better. So I'm gonna make the choice that's right, the one I believe in.

"Apprehensive" was one of my favourite words a child, because I recall being praised by my teacher for using such a long word in the right way. Perhaps, ironically, I have this word to thank for my self confidence as a writer.
