i’m willing to gamble. i will put everything on the line for one shot at something amazing. i’ll bet my eyes. my heart. the back of my knee, or elbow. i will bet you my next breath and the one after that even if the odds are ridiculous, if the reward promises to teach me anything about myself or my life.

sometimes this means i gamble things i shouldn’t. sometimes it means i lose everything most people hold onto with a death grip. but what they overlook is we all lose everything in the end anyways.

you can’t live your life avoiding risk of loss, because you can’t hold on to anything anyways. let it go. reach out for what you need the most, reach for what moves you. you’ll be dead as my uncle before you know it.
