Living a life worth writing about is not about risking it all together. You don't need to go jumping out of airplanes or off of cliffs. You don't need to conquer all of your fears and break all of your bones. You just need to take chances, give second ones, fall in love, fall out, sneak out of your house, go for long drives, kiss the person your parents don't approve of, drink coffee for the taste, and feel EVERYTHING that life brings your way. Taste the tears that roll down your cheeks from happiness, wipe away the ones from sadness, shake uncontrollably from excitement, tell people how you feel for God's sake! Don't hide what comes naturally and you will live the most amazing life and trust me, your stories will be beautiful.
