When reaching for the stars it is important to remember to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. It is so easy to get lost in the vast array of nothingness that is out there. To get swept up in the stars, in the sky, in the appeal of the unknown. Yeah, it is great to embrace the unknown and just leap, to just let go and take a chance, but come on, you can’t just blindly walk into traffic and expect not to get run over.
Yes, take chances, experience life. Live. Do it. Just say yes. But be prepared. It’s like jumping out a plane, aren’t you going to wear a parachute? Of course you are. And that doesn’t make it any less terrifying or insane or something most of us would never do. It is not like a conversation would go:

Person B: “Awesome!... wait did you wear a parachute, though??”
Person A: “of course I did!”
Person B: “well then, YOU SUCK!”
Person A: *cries and runs away*
No. No one cares to ask if you wore a parachute. Because OF COURSE YOU DID.
Letting go, taking chances, leaping… can be just as awesome, as amazing (and also just as terrifying…) with a parachute on.
“Slow and steady wins the race” right? Well then there should never be a rush. Not even when letting go. Especially when letting go.
