I would rather feel and risk it all than be safe and half as real. Life is for the living and there’s so much joy left to be had and there’s so much hope and excitement, and yeah, maybe pain, too. But in the end I believe the good stuff to outweigh the bad, if I never knew sadness, how could I ever appreciate how wonderful it is when things turn out right? It’s always been worth it to me, even the bad parts. The beauty of this world can easily outshine all the shadows that the ugly can leave behind. I still have to believe the best in people and I still have to have hope for the future, and for taking chances, especially on people.
