I was talking to an old friend yesterday (Hi Roxanne!) and she said something about how fear gets hold of the best of us and prevents us from doing what we want. She also said something about how we leap before we look when it comes to matters of the heart but look before we leap when we deal with other things. Erm, that was great, and it made so much sense I have to blog it.

Fear is the worst enemy of all. It paralizes us more than any drug and psychs us down better than any body. Fear. And we're always told to face our fears, even if the whole point of us being afraid of that thing is that we don't wanna face it. But when we are afraid, it is when we, in my opinion, are the bravest, especially if we're not in denial of our fear. Life is an irony, ain't it? LOL.

Leaping before you look and looking before you leap. Whoever thought of that anyway? I mean, why'd you leap in the first place? Can't you walk to it or just use a bridge? What is it with the leaping? But seriously, who thought of it? It's precisely that phrase that makes us cowards. Because we look too much, we often find too much or too little of what we expect so we just... walk away. We could've just leapt in without any expectations and appreciated that thing (how inarticulate!) for whatever it is. No demands, no complaints whatsoever.

Then again, there are times when we do need to look before we leap. But it's not a good idea to do t all the time. Otherwise, our life just loses its color. And what is life without color?
