Sometimes doing something you are scared of is more beneficial than staying where you are comfortable

Sometimes doing something you are scared of is more beneficial than staying where you are comfortable.
Ohh boy this post is long over due. It is one of those posts where you want to write it, but you sit there and stare at the screen not sure how to start it off. I guess I put off writing this because I was partically afraid of who reads my blog (there are alot of people who read and never comment) and just not sure what I want to say. I feel like by not saying anything for the last while I was hiding something. I am not hiding. I want the world to know.
This past summer I left something comfortable cause it was not working for me. It was one of the hardest things I had ever done in my entire life. For all the wrong reasons in the world it would have been easier to just stay and go through life like that, then take the step away from all the familarness. I was convinced though that I was entitled to more than just being happy. Weird statement I know. I was not unhappy with what I left, but I thought just happy wasn't enough, I knew that there had to be something more. I had to be blown away by everything in a relationship to ever consider setteling down with someone.
Doing what I was scared of turned out to be so beneficial for me. I met someone fantastic. I was scared to take a chance on someone new, and of a new situation. I was scared that i wouldn't find anything better or worse of all that someone wouldn't find that in me. I would have given up something ok and have been left with nothing. This was scary. As it turns out though, this risk was well worth every scared moment i went through. I have found a relationship that is more than I knew was possible. I have been again trying to correct what mistakes I have made in prevous ones and to learn from them through this one. This relationship is what i hope everyone has a chance to experience in life. I am a very lucky person to have been this lucky in love.
So now it is out there. I am dating, I am happy and he is fantastic.
no need for the saptastic comments - i just needed to get this out. (ha ha, I'm out)
