chances.

"The man who said

'I'd rather be lucky than good'

saw deeply into life.

People are often afraid to realize

how much of an impact luck plays.

There are moments in a tennis match

where the ball hits the top of the net,

and for a split second,

remains in mid-air.

With a litte luck,

the ball goes over,

and you win.

Or maybe it doesn't,

and you lose... "



with every action you take a chance. a chance of success or failure. you put yourself out there to be accepted or rejected. you do things that can change your life for the better or for the worse. detrimental things. amazing things. sometimes it goes beyond luck and becomes completely a matter of your own responsibility. you own yourself and everything you do. you make your bed and you lie in it. you check yourself into the hospital. you get the tests done. you worry about lies you make up in your head. you argue over things that never happened. you convince yourself someone feels a way they dont. you get scared. you psyche yourself out. all because with every action you take a chance. sometimes you fuck it up. hell most of the time i do fuck it up. but redemption is only as far as you let it be.

it takes someone giving you a chance before you can ever truly begin to turn it around.
