stop playing it safe

I am taking a lot more risks and being just that little bit sillier.

I love it.

Last night Josh and I were driving along and I didn’t react to his stirring, and he looked at me all disappointed. I told him that I thought that no reaction was the safest bet with him some days. He looked at me and said, completely offhandedly, just as a comment “why’re you playing it safe, anyway?”

For some reason that’s really just stuck with me. I feel like that’s what I’ve been doing the past couple of months, just playing it safe. I’ve been so afraid of consequences and reactions and opinions and issues that I’ve just been sitting still, feeling as though things were too fragile to mess with.

That’s not really me. I think I need to stop playing it safe, to take more risks and to just. . .do things.

I think I’m going to like the goal.
