Questions

I've been wondering for a while now if I should change my ways. Would it be a good thing to stop being who I am, and who I'm comfortable with- to leave my shell and step out into the real world? What could I accomplish if I was willing to let myself go? For the longest time I have been comfortable with who I am. I have been comfortable with a personality type that allows me to make relatively accurate predictions about what will happen to me, but what if I just let things happen? What if I let go of the mediocrity and the extremely well-guarded and tentative optimism? What if I let myself dream, and hope; live? Would my friends like me more, or would they be confused and bewildered; have they grown to like the cynic that I have become, or does it bore them? I still wonder.
