Comments on: Risks: Unfiltered. http://sydneyowen.com/2010/02/28/risks-unfiltered/ a raw take on my life as it is: unpredictable, frightening and wildly exciting. Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:15:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Alex http://sydneyowen.com/2010/02/28/risks-unfiltered/comment-page-1/#comment-2825 Alex Tue, 02 Mar 2010 04:05:54 +0000 http://sydneyowen.com/?p=1151#comment-2825 I do not know the story behind this, but I will just say a few words. First, thank you for being honest about whatever is going on and about taking risks. Hell, talking about risky things is risky! :)<br>I used to live with a wall around my heart, bolted locks and all. Taking risks, no matter how devastating the consequence, has made me a better woman. A better friend. A better lover (yeah, I said it). A better daughter, sister, human being. I may still spend an evening crying myself to sleep because my heart hurts so much, but when I wake up the next day, I know that I at least took a leap and I am stronger for it. Hell, I'd never learn a damn thing if I just kept my heart locked up in a cage forever. Our hearts are meant to explore, to be broken, to be filled with joy... to be free. <br>Infinite hugs.

Or, as you so eloquently put it, a fickle, fickle bitch. There are some things that we just can't control. The Universe is just going to throw us for a loop and laugh. What we can control is how we deal with those situations, and it seems like you're dealing pretty well. Heading into the unknown with courage is very commendable, so kudos to you!

I'm glad you took the risk, whatever it was. But even more importantly, I'm glad you were able to take something away from it.

In order to truly live, we must take life by the horns and take whatever risk/obstacle/opportunity that comes our way - WITH NO REGRETS. These opportunities are what makes us, us.

If we don't take a risk we will never know the truth. It may hurt us sometimes, but at least we will know and we can grow from it. :-) Life is all learning.
