To laugh is to risk appearing the foolTo weep is to risk appearing sentimentalTo reach out to others is to risk involvementTo expose feelings is to risk exposing your true selfTo place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their lossTo love is to risk not being loved in returnTo live is to risk dyingTo hope is to risk despairTo try is to risk failureBut risks must be taken,because the largest hazard in life is to do nothing.He may avoid suffering and sorrow,but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.Chained by his attitudes, he is a slave.,he forfeited his freedom.Only the person who risks can be free. -Author unknown-i've appeared as a fool. i get sentimental.i get involved.i get exposed.i've lost. i've been loved.i know i'd die.
i've felt despair.i've failed. sometimes i do nothing. i have more than nothing. i've been taught.i've felt. i've changed.i've grew. i love.i live. i'm a slave to God.i'm free. pak choys gave up on me today. but the plants under the stairs grew taller n there were moremoremoremore leaves to shield the plants from the rain. the one most exposed to the beatings of the weather is still flourishing.
