Not afraid to go near the cliff's edge.

"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you can see all kinds of things you can't see from the center..."

                                                                                          - Kurt Vonnegut

Hmm..how interesting.. o_O

To me, this translates to: "It's boring in the center so I'll stay close to wherever things are interesting." I mean, people get bored easily..who wants to do boring things all their lives? Not me, I rather be exposed to the mysteries of this world and whatever else it throws, rather than hiding out in the dark staying "comfortable" forever. With society these days, all the technology and other media influences have allowed teenagers to adapt to changes quickly. So what's the down side of coming of that shell and embracing the beauty of the reality of life? I mean, sure, life and the reality of it can get scary sometimes but how are you going to grow and mature if you can't overcome this obstacle? Gonna use another analogy about life: it's a journey, a series of different paths leading to many more different endings . Every "intersection" you come to, you need to choose wisely about which path to take, each will have a different outcome for your life. If you can't get through the first intersection, how are you going to get through the one after that that and so on? There are no shortcuts, no floo powder that can get you from here to there. 


So embrace it, don't run or hide. Even if it will get tough sometimes, face those challenges and fight those obstacles and most of all, don't be like Billy Pilgrim. 


peace out,
