Risks are chances for people to discover something about themselves. Risks are mysterious; they are both wonderful and detrimental. One risk could lead you to a whole new life. One could lead you to pain and harm. One could end up being a moment eventually disappearing into your past. Risks are always lurking, but only you can make the decision to take it. Risks depend on judgement and inclination. Whether you take it or not is the determiner. 

So what is risk? Well, that's for you to decide. But for me, the ultimate risk is merely trust.

Trust can be having faith in someone you love. And with that, they can either make you the happiest person alive, or tear you apart. Trust can be seeking assurance from someone you idolize. They can help you through whatever you're struggling with, or they can shut you down. The problem is, you never know which outcome it will be. And that's when the decision of when to trust comes into play. 

As life continues on, we grow to learn from our mistakes. We learn to make decisions based on the best scenario. We make decisions based on pro/con lists, past experiences, curiosity. Whether to trust or not has a huge role in our lives. We have to decipher when the correct times for faith is, and when we should avoid trusting. Trust is one of the key factors for determining our future. 

So trust wisely; take risks with caution.
