Have you ever come across somebody, that at first meeting, you aren't sure what they're like? I find that when most people base their entire idea of one person on one single meeting, they usually don't even get the gist of who that person actually is. I think you need to get to know them, actually talk to them, understand who they are, and what they're all about. To be honest, I take risks in the sense, I'll go skydiving, or go on an adventure, but I am not one to usually take risks with my heart. I've always had a lot of walls up, about like 80,000 of them, I've had a lot of things happen to me that have taught that I need to be tough, and I've always dealt with everything by myself. I never really take chances to let someone in, because I'm scared of what will happen when they leave. However when I do take the chance to care for someone its hard for me to give up on them.

I have one of those relentless hearts, once I see the good in someone it's hard for me to un-see it. If I didn't take a chance on people, I wouldn't have gotten to know some absolutely amazing humans in my life. Even the people who turned out to not be so amazing helped mold me into who I am today. Every person can be an asset or a learning experience in your life, so there is no reason why people should close themselves off to take taking a chance on someone. Life is about risks, and sometimes those risks could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Sometimes it may turn out to be your greatest mistake, but you aren't going to get anywhere unless you take a chance once in a while. You truly never know what will happen, and I don't know about you, but having the question "what could have been?" annoys me like no other. You only get one life to live and that life shouldn't be wasted always taking the safe road.

Opening your heart to someone can be one of the most terrifying things a person can do. I read somewhere that it's like "letting someone hold a gun to your heart and trusting them not to pull the trigger." I've never heard a more true phrase. However while terrifying, it can honestly be one of the most rewarding, to finally let your guard down for someone or trust them after a falling out. It can be one of the best things in the world you can for yourself. To reach that level of intimacy can be amazing and you will feel like you have a weight lifted off your shoulders. As long as you make sure its the right person your opening up to, you really can;t go wrong.
