Jump Then Fall.

I've been thinking a lot lately about life.
More specifically about taking risks and chances in life.
I feel its important to follow your heart and not succumb to what other people tell you you should do and be.
Sometimes doing the best thing for you, that will make you happier than imaginable, is not necessarily the easiest path.
But take the leap, that one risk may help everything else fall into place.
I wish more people would listen to themselves.
I wish more people would take chances to do what they love.
I wish more people would take chances to be with the ones they love.
Try thinking for yourself every once and a while and doing what is right for you.
Trust me, you will be much happier with the end result.
Take that road less traveled, it may be scary, but it will be worth it.
Take that chance, seize the moment, be true to yourself.
In life and love,
this is the advice I will follow.
I never want to look back and regret what could have been.
Live your life, surround yourself with those that bring you happiness, and when you know what's right for you, never hesitate to go for it.
Just remember, be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Best of luck.

I've heard it said...

There is this one word,
I absolutely hate it, all of it.
The way it stays in your throat,
because you really don't ever want to say it.
Saying this one word can mean the end, or maybe a new beginning.

GOODBYE.

I don't believe in goodbyes,
even though I've said my fair share.
I believe in a far more optimistic phrase,
one that leaves a little chance to meet again.

SEE YOU
later, around, soon, sometime.

Insert the phrase you so prefer, but any of those are better than goodbye.
The word itself implies forever to me.
Not in all scenarios, but the ones where you are not sure if you'll ever see each other again.
I like to believe that everyone comes into our lives for a reason,
to love, to learn, to be happy.
So why say goodbye at all?
Forever is too long to be so certain,
leave room for a little chance.
The world may be a big place,
but it's small enough to make goodbye unnecessary.
Be seeing you.

Blind.

The naked truth is always better than the best dressed lie.

I believe in honesty.
Lies get you nowhere.
I want to hear the truth a little more often.
One white lie will just lead to another, so why start at all?
I understand, in certain circumstances it may be beneficial to withhold the straight truth, but right now, I don't want to hear another lie.
It's amazing how love can blind us from what's unfolding right before our eyes.
Maybe next time you are about to tell a little white lie,
try something different and tell the truth.
Who knows, maybe you will gain some good old fashioned karma.
I wish you the best of luck.
