Taking Chances..Jumping off the edge.. What do you say?
-Nylazzir-
"But what do you say to takin' chances? What do you say to jumpin' off the edge? Never knowin' if there's solid ground below Or a hand to hold or hell to pay, What do you say? What do you say? "
Just like the lyrics of that famous song, there comes a time when life pushes us to the edge of a cliff in which nothing is at stake but our future. Buying more time, we reduce our pace while making a mental note of it’s pros and cons. You stay put : you live, that is certain, but is that what you really wanted? would that make you happy? Jump off: would there be a solid ground to catch you? Would there be something to hold on to or would there be someone to catch your fall. Or would you end up losing everything you got? Often a time, we settle to whatever we have, in fear of taking the risk of crossing an unsteady bridge to get to the other side no matter how much we wanted it. A loser? Well, maybe, and admittedly I am one of them. Yes, I’ve been living my 26 years obsessing over my limitations. Settling to "so-so’s " in life, nurturing the pessimism I subscribed to that up until now there are still a lot of what if’s in my mind. When do I jump off the edge?..Honestly, I don’t know.
