Is it better?

It is better to have tried and failed
than to not have tried at all.

It is better to have loved and gotten hurt
than to not have loved at all.

It is better to have ventured and gotten lost
than to not have ventured at all.

It is better to live
than to merely exist.

Now, here comes the difficult part
Overcoming the fear
- of getting hurt, of failing, of losing my way
To do what is better.
