"Oh woah, WOAH! Another misleading blog title with a hidden meaning?! Miss Sarah, what a shock!" - Said my sarcasm.
I know a few people, and I am sure everyone does, that are total risk takers. They do not worry about possible consequences, they are not constantly asking what if, and they do not worry about what people think about them. To many, myself included, that sounds kind of stupid, and a good way to get into trouble, or harmed, or killed. Well those are extreme situations, but this idea of being spontaneous and not worrying about things MAYBE going wrong, is something I admire in those who live this way.
I have a friend who recently drove to another state to meet up with a bunch of people he had never met but had the shared interest of photography, and spent a week camping and shooting with these new people. Just a bunch of random strangers doing what they love. I can look at that situation and think of things that could have gone wrong, but they seemed to have a wonderful time and produce great art. I am so envious of that opportunity for adventure, and that he took it, seemingly without hesitation.
I am a worrier, and I do not like that about myself. I worry about what worrying will do to me. I wish I could be, and wan to try to be a bit more adventurous and get a little "stupid-er" as I would think that seems. I do not want to become some ridiculous young adult living by "YOLO", but someone who is strong and confident enough that worries do not stand in the way of something that could be amazing, a whole lot of fun, and life changing.
