If travelling around a foreign country I’d never been to, where no one speaks my language, using only public transportation counts as taking a risk, then it was a month ago.

If enrolling in a college program in my 40s counts, then it was three years ago.

If moving to a new city thousands of miles away, with all my belongings and no job secured in advance, counts as taking a risk, then it was four years ago.

If relocating to a new country, with a dependent family, where no one speaks my native language, leaving behind everything I owned, and without a job waiting for me, counts as taking a risk, then it was seven years ago.

If life itself is a risk, then I'm living it every single day.
