Be Bold (But Still Be Safe!)

I realize now that I have always been by-the-rules type of person and I think I might have been happier if I was willing to strike my own path a bit earlier in my life... to do things that scary and new. Now I don't mean smoking and drinking alcohols and BASE jumping off cliffs. I mean trying something new even though I might fail, talking to people even though I might stumble and feel silly, chasing more hopes and dreams... even if they might not become a reality.
