It's about time

Fear hinders us. By being afraid, we lose out on a lot. You cannot be afraid to experience life. I heard a saying the other day : don't be afraid of death. Be afraid of never living. I am not afraid to die. Death is just another adventure(I think Peter Pan said something like that). However, I am afraid of not living a good life. Of not living an exciting life. Of not experiencing everything that I can.
You're afraid of being hurt. You're afraid to trust someone, to let someone into your life, your heart, your mind. You're afraid to experience something new. You're afraid because of the past. Because someone hurt you, broke you down. Isn't it possible that this has happened to nearly every single person on this planet? Would you rather live your life in fear and never experience something amazing, or live your life as an adventure and cross the widest rivers and climb the highest mountains?
It's a joy when you put a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye.
I can't wait forever. I can't wait a year. I can't wait a month. I can't wait a week. Can I even wait another day? So tell me something real before I turn the corner without looking back.
