risk.

risk is scary. of course it is. but it usually pays off, even if it's just another lesson learned.

the past few days i've been thinking about risk. and today has been one of those days where i've heard the same answer several times, from different people, who are all unrelated to each other.

and with that, i spend another night tossing and turning, contemplating the "what ifs" and "hows" and "why nots" of life.
