A Risk on Forever

by N.S. Perkins

Show your emotions. Cry when you’re sad, laugh when you’re happy, scream when you’re mad, and kiss when you’re in love. You have every right to feel whatever it is you’re feeling, and expressing it can only help to show who you are as a person.

Don’t wait until you’re old or sick or dying to appreciate things. Live life to the fullest. Always. Starting now. Look at everything around you, be thankful for it, and enjoy the most of it. Time goes by so fast, blink and you’ll miss it. So never wait for anything. Your moment is now.

The important thing is to let you feel. Whether it’s good or bad, whether you prefer doing it alone or in public, it’s important that you acknowledge your emotions so that they don’t end up drowning you.

“I would’ve let you break my heart a thousand times over, just for the chance of getting more of the moments of pure happiness I felt when I was with you. If you’d just given me something, I would’ve given you everything.”

“Falling in love with you wasn’t gradual. It hit me like a tidal wave.”
