The biggest risk I’ve taken so far is this one – putting myself out there through blogging. I’m fairly new at it, and honestly, it’s always felt terrifying. I’ve always prided myself on keeping my life private. I’ve never been big on social media, and the idea of strangers knowing my story used to scare me. But when I realized I wanted to help people, I also realized that to truly connect, I’d have to share parts of my life and earn trust from those who’ve never met me. I’m not naturally a risk-taker, but this is one I’m proud to take.
If we’re being prompt-specific, though, the biggest risk I haven’t been able to take yet, would be getting married. My parents divorced when I was five, and there was always that running joke that the number one cause of divorce is marriage. Now, I’m in a happy, healthy relationship, and I do want to get married someday. I feel like we’re heading in that direction – but a part of me is still scared of repeating history. Even so, I know that when (or if) my boyfriend proposes, my answer will be yes. Despite my fears, it’s a risk I want to take with him. If there is anyone I’d want by my side for the rest of my life, it’s him. And even if it doesn’t last forever, I’ll be grateful for every year he gives me.
So now I’ll ask you –
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take, but haven’t been able to yet?
