try and remember when you learned it was a bad idea to grab a pot that's been boiling on the stove. the first learning experience of a child that has never been hurt. it's a revelation in the mind of someone so young. it almost teaches us that the best way to learn right and wrong is to get hurt along the way.

i am willing to risk the pain, because i think this is right.
she makes me nervous, and i want to do extraordinary things when i think of her. i guess i'm inspired again.
