What I've also noticed, is that some people actually start copying me. If I live more bravely, some of them get inspired and adopt the same attitude. It's possible that if you live how you want to live, you might rub off on your gf.  |
This is so very true. I agree that it's better to try and fail. Then I would try again. There's always a risk, but the biggest risk is to never even have tried. I have the opportunity right now, so why not take it? Eventually I will succeed. Either now or in some years!
