Risks

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love."
-- Leo Buscaglia

Are risks worth it? Yes. If they're not going to kill or hurt anyone... definitely. Should we do something bold when given the chance? Yes. I think so. Not that it always works out wonderfully but it does work out somehow.

Am I willing to put myself out there? Yes. Most of the time. Am I willing to see what this world has got to offer? Yup. Still... I have a hard time with the smile and eye contact thing. I need to start practicing that more often. I'm still scared they're going to say "ew".
