Failure is OK

I get scared of failure. A lot of people do. Lately I've felt hesitant and even comfortable with the way things are. What this has led to is a feeling of nothingness.  Without a doubt nothingness is worse than joy and happiness, but I would argue that nothingness is also worse than pain and sadness. 

Nothingness is lifeless. I want to challenge myself to take more risks. To put myself out there. Yeah, my life is good, but I want to feel that passion and energy again. If I fail, that's OK. Simply floating just won't suffice.
