Get Risky #graded

Please do not leave this post with aspirations to go drive at the speed of light around the sharp corners in your neighborhood. Thats not the type of risk I'm talking about, and I refuse to pay you're medical bill. Also, if it was then I would be a major hypocrite. Seriously, even though I like to pretend I'm good at snowboarding, I can only do a box on the park because I don't want to risk breaking any of my precious bones that I nurture with 3 servings of dairy everyday-- I really just can't do the whole physical risk type of thing.

Taking risks means waving at the shy person who sits in the back of the classroom when you see her in the hall, it means going past small talk and opening up to your friend; it is showing your true emotions. Being involved in your life. It is the development of your character. It can even be something like telling all of your avid blog readers (yeah, this is a shout-out to all like, 3 of you!) that you are a big baby when it comes to snowboarding.  How are people supposed to know who you are if you don't put yourself out there? I mean, sure you can just bumble along through life not voicing your opinion, choosing not to be yourself because it might make someone think of you differently or cause some tension...

But I'll respect you more if you don't, even if we disagree or if your story exposes something about you that isn't "normal."

So let loose; let your true self shine through. Just remember to be considerate of others, because if you get disowned by your family because you stubbornly disagree with them, I will not be blamed.
