While I agree with you, Liar, I also think extreme and not-so-extreme people BOTH need to recognize that what's "colorful" or risky for some is completely "normal" for others.
I'm going to assume that you would like people to just let you live, in whatever context you find for yourself; and in that same vain, it's appropriate for you to respect whatever context others' have chosen for themselves.
When I "get out there and enjoy what life can offer", it may not look like me "getting out there and enjoying" to YOU, but that doesn't make it any less me "getting out there and enjoying". Does that make sense?
I *do* care what people think, what they would say, etc, but (HOPEFULLY) not to the point I let it rule my decision-making. That's what I'm pondering. I'm checking myself.

need to slow down, stop and smell the roses. If we're all impatient we miss the little things that can mean so much.
Phoenix, I needed that right now. Thanks.

Something to ponder...
"Something to ponder" or "HA HA HA HA!!!!!!"?
HA HA HA - check your email.
Something to ponder - I really liked that statement and it gives me something to ponder...truly.

'Cause, ya know, if you don't, you may end up riggedy-wrecking yourself. And nobody wants that.
