Taking Risks.

When it comes to matters of the heart, I find myself torn between being a realist or an optimist. Naturally, it would seem like you should go with what your heart wants, but what if you know that by doing so, you could be setting yourself up for more hurt? And here's a twist...what if being a realist means that you still believe your heart is right? Almost sounds like a lose-lose situation, right?

But I find myself wanting to take this risk, not because I feel like it's going to magically change my situation, but simply because I have to take it. My heart tells me and my brain tells me, too. Because at the end of the day, there's nothing to lose.
