Cliffs.

I don't know why we stop ourselves from doing what we want. Why don't people act on a whim anymore? Instead, everyone thinks too much. Thinks about what they say before they say it. Do things after thinking them through carefully. Which leads to holding everything that is real, in. Which can't be good for the soul. Or the heart. Or the mind.

I've recently decided that instead of doing what I think is right or good or acceptable, I'm doing whatever I want. If I want to go jump off a cliff, you better not try to stop me. Of course, that is just an example. I'm not really going to go jump off a cliff. No worries. The point is that whatever it is that I feel like doing at the time, I'm going to. No matter what anyone says. No matter who it will affect. I'm done being careful. I'm done worrying.

I mean, I'm a big girl. I'm a grown-up, technically. I am able to make my own choices. Decided what would be best for me. Right? And what could be best for me might not be best for someone else. And that's fine. I'm looking out for me. Isn't that how we are supposed to do it?

And don't worry, there really aren't any cliffs nearby. That I know of . . .
