Okay, so maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe.
But I just can NOT pass up a crunchy leaf.
Call it childish, I don't care.
I like to step on leaves. =]
Especially the crunchy ones. I don't know what it is. Perhaps the immensely satisfying crackle of a crisp autumn leaf just triggers something deep inside the brain, bringing back the childhood desire to pulverise anything crunchy.
After a while, I actually noticed myself getting so obsessed with crunching leaves as I trudged to and from school that I would actually backpedal a few feet along my route just to hit that one perfect acorn top or maple leaf.
Why do I mention all this about a random hobby?
Opportunity.
Hell, it's everywhere.
You don't realise it most of the time.
But what I wonder is... Certain opportunities. Why take some and not others?
I seriously feel guilty if I pass up a reeeeally crunchy leaf, so I eventually have to go back and step on it. But if I have that perfect opportunity to ask a guy out? I've never taken it.
I mean, they always say when opportunity knocks, you should answer, right? So... Why can't I? Why can't a lot of people? Could be intimidation or a lack of confidence, maybe nerves... or all three. Ooh, that would suck.
Do I make any sense to you? Cause sometimes I don't make a lot to myself...
And even now I'm telling myself I'm going to grab every opportunity that comes my way, but come tomorrow or some other day, when the topic of Sadies or something comes up with that one guy... I'll be speechless.
...Why?
