But too many times I've been risking my life making decisions while trying to be nice

It's time for a change, It's time for a move,
And I know that it's frightening but it's also exciting
I'm taking a risk that I know is worth fighting
Its better
To make your mistakes than to live with out knowing
Its better to fall on your face then to stay on your feet

Ahh, Greg Holden- I am rather fond of you. Beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics. This one, The Art of Falling, definitely has to be one of my favourites though.

Change is a pretty scary thing, and it's constant. It's absolutely everywhere and we have no control over it. I don't know about you, but it terrifies me. But so many good things come out of it in the longrun. The decisions we make are scary biccies, and we never know exactly what the outcome's going to be; but we can always find a positive somewhere.

I'm also a firm believer in taking risks. You gotta be in it to win it, as those cheesey presenters say on those stupid gameshows at about 3am. But it's another cheesey one that can be applied to everyday life. It's better to take the risk and make the mistakes and face the consequences than to live out the rest of your life wondering "What if?"

I don't want to be one of those people who lives their whole life by the book. Is there even a book? Because if there is, I didn't get my copy. An instruction manual would go a long way, actually. But there's this general idea of how life should be. You're born, you grow up, you go to school, you do exams, you go to work, you have a family, you grow old and die. And somewhere in the middle of that, you have to make sure you don't get into any trouble. But why!? Why not have a little fun? (I'm not talking about extremes here- don't wanna wind up in prison). But enjoy yourself. Make mistakes & learn from them. They prepare us for later life, or so I've heard.
