I cry a lot. That's a fact of life. I also laugh and smile a lot. I love a lot and I try not to hate a lot. I suffer a lot and a lot of joy fills my heart. I work a lot and after I feel so tired I could die. I am mostly a person of extremes. A lot of them.
For a long time I thought I would be better off being a more balanced person. I worked really hard on that. Recently, however, I realized that all the things that I regret doing in my life are not because I did them a lot, but because I didn't do them enough. I regret not having showed my love enough, my discontentment enough, I regret not having said all I thought, I regret not have complained enough, I regret not having tried enough, I regret not having yelled enough and I almost regret not having cried enough...
Moderate people can live moderately. Extreme people have to live extremely. Being wise and sensible is being authentic and this takes different forms for different people. People like me, that live everything intensely cannot pretend to be cool. I am not cool. I am a sea of lava waiting to explode.
From now on I am going to be everyhting a lot more.
Beware.
