hide and seek

if i could see my future, would i make the same mistakes? if i could pinpoint the moment of impact would i stop the collision? would i still take a risk and dive towards a promise or follow a thread of desire towards hope? or choose to be sheltered and protected, safe and hidden, lost and lonely?

to seek out our desires is sometimes hurtful, a struggle, edged with danger... but to live a life in which we wait and remain wrapped in the safety of the familiar, is a lonely one. friends and family pass us by on their discovery of the diverse riches that life has to offer. drinking in their desires and dreams. and though they may stumble sometimes or stop at an obstacle, they simply find another path and keep going. another adventure. another lesson, another precious moment.

follow your dreams, don't hide. the struggles can be no worse than the lonliness.
