When it comes to life, there are advantages to playing it safe. The middle of the road is usually bullet proof. No chance of falling off a cliff or getting hit by a car. Playing it safe means life will most likely never be cruel. You will have a roof over your head, food on your table and a decent wardrobe. You will know the best restaurant to get sushi and the movie theater with the least crowded parking lot. You will be comfortable. Kind of like a nice 70 degrees, all the time. Every day, the sky will be clear and the weather calm. No thunderstorms in sight.
The only problem with that concept is that thunderstorms usually lead to beautiful, clean, fresh-smelling streets and the chance you could see Nature put on a wicked lightning show. Falling off a cliff might drop you into an amazing ocean, of a soft patch of grass where you could roll around for awhile. You might decide, one day, to walk past that decent sushi joint, and when you do, just two more blocks, you smell a mouth-watering Italian restaurant with the best garlic bread you've ever tasted in your life. And you might not even know you are a garlic bread girl.
Playing it safe is fine. There is nothing wrong with playing it safe. It's understandable and respectable. But sometimes, cheating on safe with a little adventure is fine, too. No one will tell.
