this is from a year ago... still too true... how i feel these days...
"i think i've learned something new about life... maybe something i already knew... but i guess now it's at the forefront of my mind... in life we under-estimate what we're capable of, because we're afraid of being hurt or rejected... after all when you accept what you know you can have, what disappointment is there to have? when you go after what you really want in life... odds are much higher you'll lose, atleast when you aim lower, when things don't work out, you aren't as upset... there just isn't as much to lose...
this applies to alot in my life, i could be more, i could be better, i could work harder in school, but i'm afraid i'd lose alot by focusing all my time on education and not enough in other aspects of my life... things that make me happy, will a good education make me happy? that's not certain... same goes with girls, when i really like someone, do i chase her, even if i'm pretty sure there's no chance? cause i think she's too good for me? knowing i deserve that... but feeling like i can't have it? is it worth it to chase something you may never have, or is it better to just settle and appreciate what i know i can have?
thoughts ideas and comments are all welcome..."
