playing the field


You have to resist temptation. It's something we all need to do at one time or another. If you think about it, you can probably relate this statement to something you crave but shouldn't have, or even more frustrating—can't have. Be good. Think twice, even if it's something as innocent as eating another piece of chocolate cake when you've already had three.

When placed in a sticky situation, do you allow your principles to decide or do you follow your heart? Sometimes I just want to throw away my mental rule book and let my instincts guide me. Lately, I've been more adventurous than ever before. I think when you have nothing to lose and you believe you cannot feel any lower, it's safe to aim high because if you fail, you'll just fall back to where you were. Things you thought were out of your league are suddenly within your reach. You embrace it, determined to let it be only a temporary craze because you don't want anything to tie you down now.

Unsure of what you're searching for, but positive of what you don't need, how will you ever know when something good hits you? I've been cruising along, like a bird flying high and not following any particular path. I've left my map at home, yet I find great pleasure in knowing that I'm in no rush to find the right direction.
