Crossroad... in life

Rollerblades. Rollerblades are fun, my friends either loves them or are afriad of them. I was talking about blading with my friend today, and he says 'the worst feeling is the fear of falling, but once you fall - you find out that there's nothing to it'. I know, I fell many times; and many times I've learned how to pick myself back up. Somehow I find this similar to life; there are many opportunities around us, but many of which we are reluctant of taking - since we are afraid of the possibility of failure. But if we fall, we can learn how to pick ourselves back up; if we fall again, then we will pick ourself back up again; over and over again. If we are afraid and never try, we will never understand who we are and what we are capable of doing.

Some opportunity was just offered to me recently, and some changes are going to happen soon. It will be a big change for me; it's not confirmed yet so I'm keeping it a secret for now... but it'll be a big change. Good thing it's long weekends, so I can just rest up and have some time to think about a major crossroad in my life.

I can't believe Toronto's weather is much better than Van. Weather forecast predicts that it continues to rain in this weekend with no exception of the Easter Holiday :( I'm very impressed on your analogy of the learning process of rollerblading (your hobby) with the crossroad in life. Life is full of difficult decisions and can be much more fulfilling if you make the right choice. I wish you best luck with the new changes in life.
