    I think it's about seeing the positive side of things/people, really. 

    I don't think I'm fierce, but I admire it in others!

    I don't know what the hell I am but it ain't fierce either. At least, I don't think so.  :)

    But I can stand up for what I believe, even though I'm scared shitless while I do it.  :)  And, later, maybe overthink it and second guess myself.

    And while I'm at it, I don't necessarily believe that standing up for what one believes is getting into others' faces, so to speak. I sometimes find that the less that is said actually says more.
    :)

    [ I had one too many sandwiches for supper maybe, I'm really spouting off, ha.  :)  ]

    Hahaha! I am happy to hear you spout off! I agree with you 100%, per usual! See my reply to Spunky above! 

    I was going to add that I can be fierce and downright bi*chy under certain circumstances. Abuse a child or animal in front of me and find out. Ha! (I know you wouldn't do that.. . I'm just saying that provokes me to fierceness and unusual and unhealthy bravery at times!) 

    I know you don't like the movie (I do, but thought it was overrated), but I often feel we're like peas and carrots, you and me! This post was edited by SavvyAnsley at June 10, 2021 7:37 PM MDT

    I did see your reply to SpunkySenior- - and saw it only AFTER writing my "number 3" reply ot you up there. :)

    What movie are you quoting? I assume it may be Gump, ha. It's the one I complain about the most probably.
    I'm pretty fierce in my non-enjoyment of that one. I do like peas and carrots, though, ha!

    Forrest says that he and Jenny were like peas and carrots! 

    Peas and I don't tend to agree. I like carrots, too!

    Oh, and yes!   - - seeing abuse of children or animals.  I get your reaction, for sure.  :)
