Who We Were
Time flies by. Life brings a lot with it. Would you do it again if you knew how hard it would be?
We were in our early twenties when we started our adventure. Penniless. The only things in our pockets were our dreams. They were the best of times.
A lot can change in two years. I’ve been thinking about what’s happened over the course of my last two and half years. And it can be a little painful to think back over your life because of all the things you would do differently if you had the chance. It’s something called perspective. And since I’m almost twenty-five, I think I’ve been getting a lot more of that than I used to have. I’ve also grown more cautious in a way. Getting older is supposed to do that to you –make you more cautious. As you reach twenty-five, your prefrontal cortex is supposed to develop and sort of settle who you are as a person. It also make you more cautious.
Sometimes, making big leaps in your personal life requires you to lack caution. They require you to throw caution to the wind, as it were, and learn a new sort of way of living. Living without fear.
You can be baptized into this new way of living, without fear, if you choose rightly. If you gamble what you have on the right thing, the right person, the right choice, you can live as if without fear.
