Finding the balance.

There is beauty in predictability but we are usually blinded by the thrill of adventure. It is why we don't last with commitments. Once it feels boring, we let go; looking for the next adventure.

I am not saying you should settle for a boring life but it is important that you learn a measure of balance for your life. You need predictability, stability, to have who you can trust and be sure that with them, you are safe from the hounds outside.

You also need adventure, the need to feel alive. You need those hounds outside to tear you apart sometimes. For one, your skin becomes tougher and it makes you value greatly what you've got going inside.

Find balance. Cherish all your experiences - the seemingly boring ones and the exciting ones.

It is what they mean when they say that you are living your life to the fullest.
