Would you risk it?

I've been thinking about this quote lately and what it means to me.

Would you risk it? Would you risk it for love? The things you love. The people you love. The person you love. 

What would you risk? Your sanity? Your heart? 

What should you risk? Everything.

The truth that love is worth the pain, if only to know you're one heartbreak away from happily ever after. That risking everything is everything. It might be the most maddening, heavenly, insane, magical moments of your life. Your heart might beat out of time and slower when it's over. Your mind might be a tiny bit crazy when they leave. But when you were together it was like heaven and hell all at the same time. You could fight and love with equal passion and always come out laughing. If you don't risk everything you lose everything. Everything that might just be a daydream otherwise. 

Daydreams fade. But memories, memories last a life time.

And that's what I want I guess. I want a love I know will last forever, even after its gone. I want a love that will teach me something. I want a love I can risk my heart for. 

Tree people

It's funny how you don't notice that anything has changed until you look back. Sometimes, I guess, you don't really understand why things change or who and what made it occur. It just happens. Then you hate the things you loved and you love the things you hated. But you never really know why the train of thought in the past has changed to be, now what you're thinking, well, now. That's why people are trees. We start off as small seeds harbouring all of this 'stuff' that we don't know about. Then all of these things happen, like we're water by love and hate, and we're completely unaware of it until we look back. By that time we have our first set of leaves blooming and we keep on feeling, moving, doing, until one day we look back again. There are all these leaves on branches lower that we've just left behind... Sometimes it's sad to see all those leaves behind you, so they fall and get sucked into the ground by your roots because roots are were private things are keep- things you don't want on show anymore. And sometimes that's sadder. And roots can get tangled and trip you up. That's why we grow upwards... No matter how far you fall down you know that you're already tall enough to reach the clouds when you stand back up... And that the clouds are pretty damn close to the stars. Then all you need to do it keep growing...
