I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. But to risk we must, because the greatest hazard in life Is to risk nothing. The man, the woman, who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.
