"Poetry In Motion"

About Me

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.To weep is to risk being called sentimental.To reach out to another is to risk involvement.To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure.But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he's forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.~Leo Buscaglia .. target="" class="navbar"Home | Browse | Search | Invite | Film | Mail | Blog | Favorites | Forum | Groups | Events | Videos | Music | Comedy | Classifieds

Quick relationship thought!
