I watched a movie last night called My Life Without Me. It made me think. About death.
How much I take for granted.
Not doing what I want with my life.
Restraining myself.
Hiding myself.
Revelation (of myself).
Then I was reading The Leckblog and was reminded of the same things I had been thinking about as of late. In response to Leck's question, "What’s worse: The feeling of failure, or the feeling of never trying?" I wrote this:
The feeling of failure is worse. It comes to the point in which you have to question whether or not all the time and effort you put into something is really worth it. When you fail it's not worth anything (at least not to anyone else).
Fear is greater in never attempting.
And so now, despite the fact that I will do nothing about it, I ask, why let fear rule your life?

hmm.
this is making me think.
damn you!
you watched a chick flick... that's enough to make anyone think about taking their own life.
i don't know...i think the feeling of never trying would be worse. it might not be worth anything to anyone else, and it might hurt, but the experience is still there if you do try.
I know Mike, I really need to quit that.
Erin - I'm wishy-washy on the answer really. It all depends on what I'm doing. I would have to really weigh the consequences of the action.
exactly.
You already answered the question. It's because you're scared of failing. As one who has consistantly failed this year, I will say it never gets easier, but I have survived.
