I bet most people have taken decisions which they didn't know where they would lead, but in the end of it all, they turned out to be glad they took them. Something similar to that happened to me tonight, although it wasn't a crucial decision that I had to take, it was still a decision, and taking it opened my eyes to something new.
It all happened tonight, when I met up my boyfriend after work and we walked along Yonge street. After which we decided that it'd be cool for us to go to this nearby park while it's dark. Well, it isn't just any park, it's more like a botanical garden. It's similar to Edwards Gardens, but actually has more trees than grassland. Anyways, when we got there I convinced him that it'd be cool to go in the forest that was partially dark (it wasn't completely dark thanks to the nearby tenis court that was light up), and once we went in the forest we both felt kind of uneasy thinking that some sleepy hobo or some creeps might be lurking in that forest. But the next thing that I remember is hearing something moderately heavy jump on the leaves, which made my heart skip a beat, and when we turned around we saw that it was a fox! I couldn't believe it, it was less than 5 meters away from me and because of it's bright orange fur it was still visible even in the partial darkness. It was the first time when I had seen a fox roam around freely.
Anyways, my point is that if certain risks are not taken then that person will miss out on experiences which they would've had otherwise. Such as the experience which would've never occured if I didn't dare to go in that forest tonight.

I know exactly what you mean. I live right at the valley so I have seen so many animals. Once two foxes came up to my backyard and my dog was tied up and started barking at them and surprisingly they ran away.
More recently a deer came up. Actually, two or three deers.
Creeps in the woods? You're seriously afraid of them? Geeze, people today...
Ah well, back to the point...
I'm extremely envious of you guys... I've never seen a fox up close before... though I do quite a bit of hiking by my house... Then again... with how we treat our environment, I'm not surprised...
But...
I LOVE FOXES!
Teehee! Sooooooooo cute!

That's pretty cool, I've never seen a deer. I saw a beaver once when I was on a bus. But the bus passed by it so quickly that I didn't even get to have a good look at it.

Well, yeah. You never know. There's weirdos everywhere nowadays. The funny thing is that we don't do that much hiking, but we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Anyways, the weird part is that the fox didn't even seem to have noticed us, 'cause it never once looked towards us.
I guess so... but dang... I swear... I have the worst luck ever.
I guess I'll just need to hold on to effort though, huh.
OH! Also, how's Joanna doin'?
I bet it's a huge pain to leave her friends behind and try and start anew at another school.
Send her my best wishes! =3
Joanna is doing fine. She said she likes living in London, and that her new school is alright too. I'll tell her that.
