"You only live once." "No regrets." "Live life to the fullest."
It's easy to recite these sayings over and over but when it comes time to actually DO what they say, it's not so easy. I fall into this trap. Out of context or a certain situation, I say, "next time I'm in this situation, maybe I will take a chance. I need to take a risk. What can it hurt?" Then when the time comes to actually do what I want, I freeze. I am such a chicken. Being awkward and shy at first, while meeting someone, doesn't help at all, either. But I really need to get over it. When I think about the things I want to happen and HOW they're actually happening in my life, dreams vs. reality, reality sucks and my dreams win. But reality stays reality and my dreams stay my dreams. It's easy to imagine something you wish to happen and then when it comes time to actually make it happen....back to dreaming. In my life, things only happen in my mind because I'm too lame to make them happen and I end up regretting it. But still, when the time comes again, after telling myself to take a leap of faith, do I change anything? Nope. It's just back and forth with me. Reality always wins.
