Take a Risk.

Take a Risk...

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams,
before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken,
because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing, do nothing,
have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow,
but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves;
they have forfeited their freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

J'adore Project.

I got given a project a few weeks ago called 'Ja'dore' in this project I had to chose someone I know or didn’t, so I decided to choose an artist called Derek Hess. Hess is one of my favorite artist I've loved his work since the moment I first saw it. I went out on a limb with this one because I knew some things but not a lot, so this is where this project helped me to expand my knowledge about Hess. So here it is, this is my project...
