"If you dont risk anything you risk more"

This is another creative writing exercise that we did in class that I liked.

To me this statement means that if you keep to yourself your entire life and don't take risks you aren't living. You risk not finding love, even though there is a risk of loosing love. You risk not finding your true self, though there is a risk of loosing yourself. But when risk taking you learn that there is always a way of picking yourself back up and finding with u have risked and lost. By not risking anything in life you will never experience the wonders that the world has to offer. You will never feel the cool breeze coming off of the rolling waves and brush against your cheeks. You will never feel the warm hands of the one you love on yours. You will never hold that little bundle of joy that will then end up being the love of your life. If you never take risks you will watch people you once loved come and go but realize that you never really knew them. By not taking risks you are not living a life but going through the motions of a safe and boring being.
