you get just one crack at life, who wants to live it in trouble and strife?

and her excuses mounted up-- it's not the right time, i have some things to figure out, i need some time to be me, i don't think you're quite right for this time in my life, i think i'm not quite sure what i feel.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I WANT TO BE WITH YOU?

She was like-- oh my god i have so many feelings i can't process, i need to figure out what this means to me, i'm not quite sure i'm ready to feel anything again, i'm not sure i trust you i mean i trusted barry and he ran off with susan, i need to figure out my job before i can be ready to even think about loving again.

WHAT IF I WAS DYING?

She was all-- hey come on don't be silly, this isn't the right time for me to feel, i can't deal right now, i'm not even sure where i am in my life, when this is over we can talk about us, and anyway i'm kind of seeing george he's really nice and he should be back from the gym any minute.

I AM DEAD. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ME?

She looked in the mirror-- is now the right time? have i figured my poor little self out? am i ready to love? did i process my feelings? did i do the right thing? maybe I'll call Mr. Red on the telephone.

MR. RED IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

She visited his grave and said-- you meant so much to me, you cared so much for me, you were a shining light in my life, i think i may well have loved you....

She talked some more about love and soulmates and having wasted her time. She sobbed away as if someone should have sympathy for her. The only thing to do was to remind her of a simple fact.

MR. RED IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

    Just shows you: being impulsive and just taking a risk is sometimes not such a bad thing at all ;)

    We get to make a choice everyday whether we'll live in the moment or not. I relate to this girl yet I loathe her. She has her prize staring her in the face and isn't conscious enough to know it.

    I am no longer unconscious.

    Love is something that you have to take while you have the opportunity, you have to reach for it, no matter how silly you look or feel.

    And I always have my foolish smile in place, just in case.

    I had the urge to say, "Ooooh BURN!" But that really wouldn't be on the same level with all the rest of these comments.

    Whatever.

    It's true anyway.

    Hindsight can be a wonderful or a terrible thing.

    Love is probably the biggest gamble any of us make in our lifetime.
