The Safety Net

Sometimes you just jump.

Hope the landing is soft, or something breaks your fall.

You put yourself out there and take the risks you normally wouldn't take. Say things you wouldn't normally say; do things you normally wouldn't do.

Sometimes you jump.

Because you want to know. You might as well. You have nothing to lose.

Sometimes you jump.

And you realize you shouldn't have. The landing crushes you.

Maybe you shouldn't have jumped after all.


At least I know when I jump. I got a safety net to catch me this time around. The risks are still there, but at least this time around I got a net to catch me in case I fall.
