Risks too late to be taken
We always say that chances are always rarely given so we must grab it right away when it comes knocking on our door, or even on our window pane. But have we ever realized that maybe, chances were there all along? That maybe, they were there but we never glanced sideways to notice? Sometimes we grab them too close to the ending of our own life dramas that it is too late to change so much now. Admit it or not, we know that most chances, most opportunities in our life are always there but we choose not to grab that much unless we are sure of them. I mean, who wouldn't be not happy with assurance, right?
Risking is what everyone is scared of. We are afraid of losing things, losing people and afraid of losing even those that do not belong to us in the first place. I am not going to be a hypocrite and tell everyone else who reads this that I am not scared to gamble the things and the people that are important to me because I am. In fact, I am always bothered that I end up staying late at random nights thinking about the people I value and that maybe, one day they will decide that I am all along not the person worth-risking for them. I am most of the times afraid of going beyond things because I'll never know what it might cost me. Sometimes I risk, but at most I don't and right now, it makes me think, what if I did?
I am sure that a lot of us have also thought, at least twice in their entire life, of what could have happened if we took things the other way around. There are always mishaps and shortcomings we encounter everyday and sometimes, I ask myself, could things have turned out this way if I took a different path instead?
Wondering the what could have beens could be suffocating and deafening. Even if decisions were made a long time now it is as if wounds come open fresh once again. Everything being rehashed and hurting us and troubling us all over again. It bothers us to not be able to know the answers to the questions we began asking a little too late already,
and it kills us to know as well, that no matter what we do, no matter how ready we are right now of taking the risks already, there is no way to know anymore what could have happened if we did things differently because it is now too late to be brave to know the truth and fight for it.
The truth is, we need to grab chances and take risks even without getting assured of what will happen next because if we won't, what we chose not to do will only hurt us more and scar us longer.
