Life…
What is worse than blindness is to have perfect sight but no vision. We have enough people who tell it like it is now we could do with a few who tell it like it can be, and whether you say “I can” or “I can’t” you are always right.
Just think if second thoughts came before first thoughts, how much wiser we would be, the only thing is that we don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.
There is nothing good or bad, thinking makes it so and well done is all ways better than well said. Where words fail music speaks. Hearing tells you that the music is playing but only listening tells you what the song is saying.
People judge you by your actions not by your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg. You can not build a reputation on what you are going to do. There are no short cuts to any place worth going and if hard work is the key to success then most people would rather pick the lock. Success is getting up one more time than you have fallen down.
A journey of a thousand miles must start with a single step, on that journey stay alert because what you know today may not apply tomorrow. You give but little when you give of your possessions it is when you give of your self that you truly give then the only way to have a friend is to be a friend.
If you were arrested for being kind would there be enough evidence to convict you? Expect miracles, you are one, but always have control over your emotions or they will have control over you.
The pessimist sees danger in every opportunity and the optimist sees opportunity in every danger, and the best compliment any one can ever give you is that you are different. Go confidently in the directions of your dreams and live the life you imagined just remember that happiness is not having what you want but wanting what you have.
May my words be sweet and tender for tomorrow I may have to eat them. Have a blast while you last and the truth behind it all is that you were born an original do not die a copy!

Hey,
I hope that you are all keeping well.
This post that I made may have been some time ago but I feel that it is more now than ever related to a lot that is happening.
As some of you may and may not know, I have not really been having that much of a great time lately. But I have been speaking to a friend and in a round and about sort of way he has helped me more in two emails than years of visiting shrinks has ever done.
He has made me realise that LIFE is.
To love, to hate, to get, to give, to take and to feel is all part of the lives that we lead, shape, and live. How much of each of these that you do is totally and wholly within your control and nobody else's.
As a group of friends, as an individual, as lovers, or even as a family, the way we do what we do shapes and influences the future for all of us.
I feel that it is time to love again like I have never been hurt, to treat hate as a word only meant for a scrabble game, to give back some of the great things that life has given to me, to take each and every moment like it will never happen again, and to feel all that I can.
The time has come to turn things around, and to start showing people that no matter how hard we may think it is, even the smallest amber can burn forests to the ground.

Love and hate are hugely emotive concepts, and it's scaringly easy for one to transmute into the other. I'm glad that you feel able to detach yourself from past emotions and to look to the future; I hope it brings you what you hope for and what you deserve.
Going back to your original post, even at a proverbial level there are two conflicting lines of advice - 'Look before you leap' and 'He who hesitates is lost'. Personally, I go for the former - every time I leap without looking, I end up submerged in shit!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

Tempo, You said you had been hurt and I am so very sorry that it happned. It seems that being hurt is a part of life and we have to learn from it. Its like my friend Jon told me "If its broke, fix it, dont stand around and whine about it". My Jeff hurt me and I was so devistated but then I realized it was my mouth that caused it all in the forst place. I fixed things and we are still best friends and lovers. Im glad you are seeing the world and life in a new way and I hope you will find someone to love. "with all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful, strive to be happy."
I know Im just a kid, but I have learnewd so much in the past couple of months and Ill continue to learn more. I have the bestest friends I have ever had and they have helped me so much. This place is magic, at least for me.
Be happy always
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you......

Hey Curtis,
Jon is very right, don't bitch about it just fix it 
You said that you are still just a kid, but I think that we all have a little child in us no matter how old we are. At 22 years young I still have times where I feel and act like a 2 year old. But hey thats LIFE...hehehe
The hurt will always be there, but I will not let it rule who I am and what I do.

Well I hope that before you jumped you put your wellies on
I know what you are saying about not looking first, but I guess that if you are willing to take the risk without evaluating the consequences you must be strong enough to deal with your choices and what is sure to follow. And I think that is what has been holding me back, the fact that I was not willing to accept the choice I made and move on.

But how much time it takes is up to you, you just can note get lost time back.

One of the first things to do is to get physically fit and active. Fun creates great endorphins. Fun stops us being depressed.
