Don’t back out of anything – shy of walking into a dark alley in downtown Winnipeg at night – just because it scares you. Your ability to take risks and just shrug off the bad results will diminish with age.

So use this time to do the stupid shit that scares or embarrasses you. You’ll think you can keep that youthful, playful and joking spirit you now have throughout life because that’s what you believe you are. But society will shape you into its dull, conforming image and it’s hard not to let it happen. So fight to mitigate it now by experience as much as you can.
