Take A Chance

Why is it that every time I am around someone I like I get so nervous and don't act like myself, it annoys me that all the time I just freeze up and and can't even hold a normal conversation, It is some kind of fear I have deep down in me, a fear that I have had since I was 16, a fear of losing a friendship, because of one bad experience I have let that fear weigh on my shoulders ever since. I wanna break it, I've got to break it. Yesterday on my drive back home I was deep in contemplation of what I can do to help myself change the "Live Like We're Dying" By Kris Allen came on my iPod and that song is kinda straight forward the chorus says "Yeah… gotta start, looking at the hand of the time we've been given here, this is all we got and we

gotta start thinkin' it, Every second counts on a clock that's tickin, gotta live like we're dying, We

only got 86 400 seconds in a day, To turn it all around or throw it all away, We gotta tell ‘em that

we love ‘em while we got the chance to say, Gotta live like we're dying"

It's so true, we don't have all the time in the world, basically in any aspect of our lives, we need to live our lives to the fullest, don't be scared be bold, no one will get anywhere hiding in fear, instead speak up, that's what I need to do, I need to speak up and stop being so nervous. Andrew hit me with a good line yesterday too, he said "Love's a gamble" and I never thought of it like that, but it's true, at some point you are gonna have to take a chance, a leap of faith, but you will never find out anything if you don't take the chance. So basically what this all boils down to, is be yourself, don't be scared, take your chances in any aspect of your lives, whether it be relationships, jobs, sports, school, and many other things, take your chances. I have found it easier and more relaxing to turn to my friends for advice and help in any situation and last night was another one of those times, so I just wanna say Thank you too Andrew and Emily for last night and all my friends for everything else, I got your back too!
