Have you ever done something and then just wondered, "Why in the hell did I do that?" 

At the time, it might have seemed like the right thing to do, but then afterwards, no matter how right it seemed, it seemed dumb?  

I am the type to think things through before acting or deciding...sometimes to a fault....I can also overthink and over-analyze as well, often.  I'm accused often of not being "boring" and not very spontaneous.

I tend to be cautious and once I find that "safe zone", not move far from it. After all, safety keeps one from getting hurt...right?  It also keeps one from personal growth as well as new life experiences, be then positive or not-so-positive. It's not really "living" when you play it safe all the time, is it? One has to go through hurts and disappointments in life. One has to learn it's okay to feel. Yes. It's okay to feel. Whether it be happiness or sadness, anger or frustration. At times, it's just the intensity of these feelings that make life worth experiencing...and truly living. One should never be afraid to feel, truly feel. Feels can be intense and frightening but they can also be intense and exciting.

If you fall down in life, or get hurt, get back up. Experience Life. Enjoy Life. Feel. Happiness. Sadness. Pain. HeartBreaks. Whatever it is....allow yourself to feel.

Life will be better because of it.

Don't think too much, but don't think too little. Some of life's best experiences are not the well-thought out ones, but the ones where you just "go with the flow."

Try it. And let me know how it goes for you. I promise, it will be okay. 

-Chances-

Life is made up of the chances we take. 

Life is made up of the experiences we make.

Life is made up of laughter and tears.

Life is made up of the good and the bad...the happy and the sad.

Life is made up of risks....that we take.

Life is....those chances we take......So choose wisely. 

-Curve Balls.

Sometimes, life throws us a curve ball. Sometimes, it throws us a distraction.  

Sometimes, if we are not careful, we fall into that said distraction. 

Sometimes that said distraction can be packaged all pretty....making it harder to resist. 

Sometimes that said distraction, it can present itself as the most perfect solution....but is it really?

Is that curve ball worth it? It could be.....are you willing to take that chance? 

Life is all about choices, experiences. Do you weigh the pros and cons or do you just "jump?" 

Curve balls, distractions, call it what you will.....they happen, often.
