Is it too late to start over again? Is it too late to open yourself up again to adventure and love? It seems easy to open yourself up to love and adventure when you are young, when life is before you and everything is a brand new possibility, a new discovery, a new adventure on which to embark. The heart is so young, so restless, so impetuous for life. But what about when you are not so young anymore? When you have lived and experienced profound heartache and devastating pain? When you have made so many mistakes, when life has slapped you in the face, when you’ve experience utter failure and so much regret, when you have taken a leap of faith only to fall flat on your face, when you can’t start from zero because you carry scars, memories, and lessons in your soul? Yet hope drives you on. I am not a young person anymore. I have lived a life full of heartbreak and hurt but I refuse to believe it is too late to start again. With what little life or time I have left I will live with an open heart because I cannot imagine living any other way. I know this decision will cost me dearly but it is a risk I am willing to take. The other option too depressing to even contemplate. Yes, I will get hurt, bleed, fall on my face but I will get up again. I have no idea what life might have in store for me. Adventure and love sounds really good to me and I hope to live my life in such a way in that both of them are a definite possibility.
