– Don’t think too much or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place. Evaluate situations and take decisive action. You cannot change what you refuse to confront. Making progress involves risk. Period! You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.

Last night I dreamt of a boy. We were classmates during university and we’re still acquaintances, five years later. In this dream we somehow arrived at the idea that we wanted one another.

Him: You're an outlier. Too beautiful to live. Too rare to die.
Me: ...I'm not sure that's a good thing. Is it?
Him: Yes. I love you more than I love anything else. Even myself.
Me: That can't possibly be true.
Him: It must be.

When it comes to relationships and commitment there are some who will watch from the shore, some who will wade into it, and a few who will dive in head first into raging waters.
As I was enjoying the view, he was jumping. The thought of the water rushing into my lungs is almost paralyzing. But I have to wonder if this is one of those times when I should just let go, dive in and hope that the...
