Escar-Got-To-Try-It

Judging by the title, you may assume that this would be a post about eating snails, and possibly my first taste of them, but that assumption would not be accurate, as I have never tried escargot (and don't really plan on it either). No, the title simply is a pun of the phrase "got to try it" and escargot. You see, I find that whenever you try something new, you gain insight that you would never have nor obtain without trying that new activity. Yes, it may be daunting, and may not seem smart or the most intelligent thing, but oftentimes, afterwards, you'll be excited, and proud of your ability to have pressed on and gone through with it. I always say to myself, "There's no reason not to try it, and if you don't like it, you don't have to go for it again," and that definitely helps to goad and cajole me into it. But I just love the idea of new prospects; this world holds so many things, and we shouldn't get caught up in the few we already know: we should dance like nobody's watching, sing like no one's listening, love like we've never been hurt before, and live like life ends tomorrow-in other words, enjoy life to the fullest, because tomorrow could be our last. You hear this from so many theologians, and theorists, professional therapists, and extreme optimists, but it is so true, that we must take advantage of the fact and go along with the idea that you never know when you won't be here any longer, and therefore we should take all the time we can in enjoying what we have now.
