The problem with keeping yourself
too protected and never taking any risk
Is that someday, sometime
you have to do it
You have to step outside
of your box and let life happen
It pulls you, calls you
haunts you even
You have to experience
the greatest pain, the most intense joy
The full spectrum of emotion
that life has to offer
It is out of these experiences
that you learn how to cope
You begin to appreciate
that you are a lot stronger
than you give yourself credit for
No one can tell you how it feels
you simply have to live it, create your own life experience
Life is most certainly not a spectator sport
it is not easy, but nothing worth having ever is
I am, however, so thankful to be experiencing it
in all of its confusing, conflicted and painful glory
I feel like I am finally accomplishing something big
something I've been putting off for a very, very long time
I am experiencing life
Painfully enlightening, enchantingly serendipitous
packed with jewels of wisdom and insight
Experiences, my experiences
Trials and errors, good and bad
Their mine, all mine
and I want to feel them all
The searing pain of defeat
the gut wrenching agony of anger
Guilt, elation, love and hate
jealousy, admiration, fear,
contentment, accomplishment,
success and failure
I want to feel, I need to feel
for if I don't feel then I'm not alive
and
I have not been living
for way too long
