Something to prove

I have been thinking about how boring I am lately. I just don't feel as though I extend myself in the way that I feel was characteristic of me in the past. I don't think I'm taking the kinds of chances I would have before. But I've realized that is ok. I think it is really an issue of recognizing your boundaries. After years of taking chances and pushing my boundaries I feel that maybe I've come to appreciate that I don't really have to prove to myself that I am willing to take a chance. I guess I just don't think I have anything to prove.

I've fucked up enough, I don't need to keep fucking up. I think it is cool to actually learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them. What a concept, huh?

Being just fine with where your boundaries actually are is a pretty nifty thing to achieve as well. All that pushing and testing could eventually result in one hell of a hernia. ;)

How does that work? Learning from mistakes?

Let's just say that it usually doesn't. But here's hoping!
