Go, take a chance and be strong.

The past week has  me spinning. Right, left, up and down.

Testing my emotions is something I am unfamiliar with. I don’t typically wrestle with them to protect myself. I tend to take my emotions out of things.I  Relentlessly store them away in hopes that I won’t have to “soften” or feel pain. I am a constant victim of my past and dwell on what could go wrong with every situation. In a way it’s my defense mechanism. A way for me to maintain complete control over my future. If I have learned one thing this week, it is that a life worth living involves taking risks. BIG risks. When it comes to matters of the heart, I tend to run in the opposite direction. Just knowing that something could not work out or that I could get my heart broken is enough for me to resist it with all that I have.

I’ve played it safe most of my life, but I am starting to figure out that I will never truly “feel” if I don’t take a chance on things. I think I have been told that I need to “let go” and see what happens one million times in my life. We weren’t put on this Earth to run from our fears and play it safe. In order for something great to happen, you have to give it a chance to. No one has ever won anything sitting on the sidelines.

So, here is to the future. Taking risks. And letting GO. <3
