what i've given up

if you want something bad enough, you will go for it. but, what happens if you are too afraid to lose what you already have to go for something more? is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved? sometimes going for the one thing you want destroys what you have...it can get complicated i suppose. me. hmm. i have been in a similar position. i chose to keep my mouth shut and stay happy with what i had. and i am glad i did - to an extent, but i still always wonder..what if? and now. i begin to think in reference to previous post about things. what if there were a second opportunity....

jobs. love. friends. family. missed opportunities.

what would you do? its a tough call. there was a time that i would have given up a great deal for one chance. how do you justify either action? is it more important to make yourself happy and rid yourself of regret than to be content and comfortable?

i think at times we forget what makes us human...what makes us different from the most other creatures out there. we reason, we think, we make rash decisions, we have raw emotion (which most of us have neglected for a long long time). as much as we are purely regimented by the physical world, we question it, we decipher it, we challenge it (so to speak). and now, i know you all will lead to think.....if we are regimented by the physical world, what happens to free will...is reason fruitless? no. it is what makes us human.

HAHA...what a spiel. i have sooo much more to go on about...so, im leaving this in vague non-completedness. sorry. now you all can think about it and say...aimee, you are nuts.
