Young Adulthood.

(thank you, Flickr)


We would rather be ruined than changed
 We would rather die in our dread
Than climb the cross of the moment
And let our illusions die.

-The Age of Anxiety

W.H.Auden


These lines of verse unfailingly remind me of the people choosing the safe over the risk every single day. It's unfortunate people are more anxious about maintaining that level of safety rather than about taking the plunge.
