a day of rain

we spend our lives trying to establish some kind of stability, or routine. once we have that established, we have our nice, tidy little box, or zone of comfort. and life goes on this way, contently. but once in a while, i want to take a little peak out of this box, and see what else is out there. i am a very predicatable person, always doing what is expected - no surprises. and there's a reason i'm like this. but that doesn't mean i can't expand my box, even just a little bit.

when life becomes routine, predictable, don't we start to die, just a little bit?

and these new things... they can be as simple as reading a new book, or meeting a new person. it doesn't mean i have to start skydiving, or mountain climbing.

it just means getting out of the box every once in a while - taking chances, overcoming fears, and being a little unpredictable. and i need to lose that fear of making mistakes... it's choking me...
