Here's a thought: just get in the car and drive.
Far away. No maps. No plans. No worries or cares.
I wonder how many people could actually do that. How many peopl out there right now have the strength to just walk away? And not just to walk away but to not know where it is you're walking.
Sounds nice. Or it sounds terrifying. Why can't we do it? We used to be able......I think. It's not that hard, is it? I don't think so.
Hard is working everyday so that you can barely get by, saving up to buy a house and working three jobs because you're new mortgage payment is $3000 a month.
Hard is knowing that this is probably as good as it's ever going to get here. But out there? Out there, you just never know.
There could be opportunities and chances. Mistakes and regrets. Soulmates and enemies. But you'll never know sitting here.
But we don't go, do we? We stay in the safety net our mundane little world has created for us.
Then we death has come for us we wonder why we never did any of those crazy things we promised ourselves we would do before this day came. And that makes us sad. Not that we're dead, but because of all the wasted chances and misses opportunities. We should have taken them. Could have. Didn't.
I can find nothing sadder in this realm of chaotic congestion than a wasted life....not wasted. More like unfulfilled. Don't let the chances pass by simply because the sign posted says "No Tresspassing".
Someday you might not get a second chance.
Live for the moment because there's nothing to fear but fear itself. And if you are scared or nervous, that should be what fires you up about it and it wouldn't be that big of a payoff afterward.
Don't be fear's bitch...because she never lets you go. |
