Reckless Realization

This weekend I had a realization... I'm reckless.

This probably doesn't surprise you; however I don't really consider myself reckless. I have a financial planner, I worry about my bank account, I have life insurance. I had this realization this weekend on a twisty road outside of Bakersfield, after purchasing a truck with someone I met about a month ago. Not unlike buying a half-million dollar home with someone I met 6 months prior.

After this realization I had to immediately call my reckless role model and housemate. She reassured me reminding me that everyone who takes these risks reaps untold rewards - and it will be just fine. I know this, but I feel like I should feel uncomfortable making a commitment with someone I haven't known for years. But I don't. I feel no quams. I trust them and myself. This is what I want to do.

I don't have to know someone for years before I can make a commitment - whether it be for a two year domestic co-habitation or a lifetime of adventures. I'm done with waiting for action, when I know what I want and it's right in front of me - there's no reason to hesitate. Because I'm alive now and someday I will be dead.

Measure twice, cut once.

I generally measure more than twice. Then I analyze the process by which I measured to begin with. Then I measure again. But yes, simply, measure twice and then snip, snip. Don't get caught measuring.
