Curious George

Remember that adorable little monkey that made appropriate entertainment at breakfast? The one that belonged to the guy always dressed in yellow . His curiosity always led him towards trouble but in the end there was always a lesson to be learned ! It's kind of the same in day-to-day life . We find ourselves in front of diverse opportunities and curiosity leads us "down the dark staircase" . What we find down there and more importantly, how we choose to react, is entirely up to us . The fact of the matter is, no matter what the outcome, if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger . So curiosity is a good thing right ? It either leads you to great things which bring you joy and fulfillment, or to scary horrible ones, that try to demolish you, and in the end make you a better person . I've been curious a lot in my lifetime and I've made a lot of mistakes . You would think I've learned a lot off of these mishaps yet when a similar situation occurs I seem to do all the wrong things, all over again . To those of you who do not know me personally, I'm talking about relationships, the moment when you decide that a person is capable of making your life a little sweeter . When you decide to take a leap that can end in two ways . On the one hand you can find yourself waking up in the morning , looking next to you, and finding the one thing that is better than that mouth-watering smell of fresh coffee . On the other hand, you might take a leap (I like to call it a leap of faith) and find that there is no safety net . No one to catch you, no one to give you the wings to soar . I've often had to wake up in a pool of my own blood, at the base of that damn cliff . Each and every time I tell myself that I will not repeat my mistakes and that the next time everything will be alright . This is the part where a dilemma occurs . In order for a person to not take that above mentioned leap of faith he/she must be distant,cold,unattached . All sounds good and jolly, but what is the heart wants what the heart wants ? It seems as if no matter how hard your rationality tries to control your feelings, the heart always manages to uppercut your behind into the depths of deep, uncontrollable,irrational love . This leads to the complete obliteration of any and all firewalls you might have had up until that moment . This means that your "better half" is capable of ripping the ground beneath you in the blink of an eye . What can you do ? My best advice is KARMA people . Believe that if you do good things, good things will happen to you . Then one day, you'll be in your favorite coffee shop (Starbucks :D) and see that there is only one sugar packet left . As you reach toward it, your hand intersects with that of the person destined to give you your wings .
