closer to the edge

And then there are times when the banality of everyday life just won't cut it anymore, and we yearn for something more, for something different.
 
Still, we swear by routine because it's familiar, and it's all too easy to be confined by it.

But I refuse to allow myself to.

Because as I lie on my deathbed years from now and have my entire life flash before my eyes, I want to be treated to the most spectacular of scenes.

I want to take risks. To take chances. To make leaps of faith.

To live on the edge.
