you just gotta

Sometimes it takes almost losing something to realize how bad you want it and how truly you need it. Sometimes it takes a storm, a hurricane, a volcano to realize how much you like it when things are calm. Sometimes you gotta cry before you can really feel and most times you gotta commit to falling before you're ready to get hurt. You might waste time on something before you realize it isn't worth the effort, but you have to give it a chance in order to ever know. Being scared isn't bad...only, it is if you let it hold you back. You can't erase the past but you can learn from yesterday and live today and build tomorrow and pray for the future.
