The young and reckless, so they say.
But it seems like the opposite for me. I wish I was reckless and less self-conscious when I was a teenager, that being not too long ago.
I guess everyone goes through different phases at different times. Not saying that I am 'reckless' and irresponsible, I just take a little more risks and go with the flow of THE moment more often now that I'm in my early twenties.
Like to hell with it you know? Do or die. Live life trying or live life wondering what could have been.
Been wondering for far too long for my own good.
It is time to die trying.
Yeah I might take a different take on things ten years or maybe even a year down the road. But why wait till then?
It is now or never. I told myself that when I was twenty-one. Yes it just came to me at TWENTY-ONE. There is something amazing about the twenties. I can't quite figure it out yet. Maybe it's when epiphany hits or STRIKES you hard on your head.
YES, I learned how to ride a bicyle at twenty-one.
Maybe a little embarrassing when everyone around me is learning how to drive. But I can look back and say that THAT was the best thing I did that year. I got over my phobia of riding and got rid of the thought of "oh no, am I too old to be learning to ride a bicycle?". It was liberating.
And look, I am still feeling the same way today, in fact even more strongly so.
MUCH easier said than done. I know. So small steps at a time or maybe a leap of faith? Whatever floats your boat at that time.
So I say.
