Risk, Love, Rejection & Vampires
I’ve been thinking a lot about risk, love and rejection. After all, there may be a reason that I’m still single: I’m terrified to “put myself out there.” I never really knew what “putting yourself out there” meant, however, recently I’ve decided to define it as: finding someone you like or could like and telling them, or better yet, showing them your true feelings and interest.
