I am not a risk-taker. I fear change and try to avoid it at all costs. I've spent most of my adult life (i.e., life after high school) doing my best to keep my life steady, and to divert from my patterns and routines as little as possible. Sure, I've moved twice after college, but I've stayed within a 10-mile radius. I am not an ambitious person. I have a habit of wanting things to happen to me, for me--I don't want to make things happen. I fear what might happen. I fear that my life won't be as good as it was before. I fear being hurt. I guess everyone does. But there comes a moment when you realize that nothing has happened. And there comes a time when you realize that you need to try to make things happen. It may not pan out. You may get hurt. But I guess life is about trying. Screw what Yoda says; there is a try.
