*grabs a bottle & shoves a note inside*

-- To laugh is to risk appearing the fool..
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental..
To reach out is to risk involvement..
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self..
To place your ideas and dreams before the crowd is to risk their rejection..
To love is to risk not being loved in return..
To live is to risk dying..
To hope is to risk despair..
To try is to risk failure..

But the greatest hazard in life, is to risk nothing.

*corks the bottle and tosses it out to sea*

2011 is about taking risks, for me.. something i've always been too scared to do.. i will put myself out there more, learn to live again, embrace friendships, do things i love doing, make wishes, dream dreams and see that even though things may not go the way i want them too, it's about lessons learned & growth... accepting changes and being more open minded..

and now , sending the bottle out, i'm paying it forward, hopefully!
