"Don't spend all your time wondering what you are, or who you like, or whether it's right for you or wrong for you. Just let yourself be happy."
-Calliope Torres
People often have a tendency to over-think things in life. It's human nature to concern yourself with the what-ifs...it's how we survive - planning ahead. We tend to look beyond what is sitting right in front of us, always anticipating the future instead of focusing on the present. When faced with a problem or a situation we always try to play out the prospective outcomes in our minds. We try to determine whether the benefits will outweigh the consequences - whether the act will be "worth it" or not. We are constantly debating with ourselves over that which we want to do (what our heart is telling us) and that which we think we should do (what our mind is telling us). Sometimes we just have to let all of that go. We have to live for the moment and just let life unfold in front of us. Do what makes you happy in this moment because for all you know it could be your last. Life always has a way of working itself out. So take a chance. It doesn't matter if you screw up, or humiliate yourself, or something just doesn't work out. Because ultimately you will end up where you're destined to be. So quit worrying so much about the consequences; about whether something is good or bad or right or wrong for you. Just do what makes you happy and let life lead the way. YOLO. So take the chance. Take the fall. Risk yourself every now and again. We can't wait around forever pondering the what-ifs. Sometimes we need to just go for it. And who knows? Maybe one of those 'what-ifs' you were so fearful of will develop into something magical. But you'll never know until you take the plunge.
