... life is an experiment...

I got a text from a friend last night, she knows I haven't been having the greatest time lately, but has been very supportive even though she has a lot on her own plate.

"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better"
~Ralph Waldo Emmerson.

Each individual can interpret the quote in their own way but through my eyes it means to take chances - and if you take chances then you will better yourself in one way or another.

If you don't take chances ... - If you don't ask someone that question... If you don't apply for that job... If you don't move on... If you don't apply for that scholarship... - you will never know, you will always wonder 'what if' and you will only hurt yourself.

So my friends what I guess I am saying is don't let what society says constrict you - follow your dreams, take chances and step out of the box you have created for yourself. The view from the top of the box is a much more beautiful view.
