Too many people are under the impression that they can skate through life "unharmed." Even if you never have a broken bone or a scraped knee, "unharmed" isn't the word you are looking for. What you are looking for isn't just a word; it's a phrase, an idealistic idea, an uncommon happening. This frequent, incorrectly looked at action is "playing it safe." "Playing it safe" is a way to go through life physically "unharmed," using the correct meaning of the statement of course. If you want to change your mind and say you "play it safe," cool. There's not much else I can do for your vocabulary after that. But no one goes through life "unharmed." Even if you've never been physically hurt, you have to tend to your own emotions just like everyone else does. You might not have any visible scars, but the previous feeling of a gash in your heart, it's healed and scarred over. It's your own personally reminder that yes, you can be broken no matter how tough your exterior may be. That feeling of hatred that reopens the wound will never be permanently gone, but it will hurt less each and every time the boiling blood reaches the surface. Because eventually, we all need to learn how to heal ourselves without leaning on others. For some people, that's a price. For others, it's a change of scenery. But for me, it's a complete and utter choice. Because all you really need, is something new and something great that takes you away from all that you hate and brings you towards all that you adore.
