I always tell myself that next time will be different. Next time I won't hold back. I won't back away or let fear stop me. Next time I'll take more chances. You know, "take a leap of faith" and all that shit. But no, that's not Anna. Anna's to good for that. Anna always plays things safe. Anna wouldn't want to go against her parents. Anna wouldn't do this and Anna can't do that. I'm sick and tired of it. I wish I could just let go. Just one day I'm asking for. One day, just one day, I want to be able to do something a bit out of my comfort zone, something unexpected. I just want to live in the moment instead of over think things.
And that's exactly what I did.
All it took was one day of complete utter luck. The day I meet my five idols: Beau, Daniel, Luke, James, and Jai. They turned my life around. They made me realize life was all about taking chances. You're not going to get anywhere if you always play things safe. They showed me how to have fun and be a little wild.
That summer was all about change. I found myself. It wasn't all about the fun, the risks, and love. But boy did love have a lot to do with things. Just two simple words. Luke Brooks. He showed me a part of myself that I didn't even know existed.
I'm not saying that my summer was all rainbows and sunshine, but one thing for sure is everything happened for a reason. We created a world of our own.
