Note: This was a blog I wrote back in October 14, 2009. This was about a beloved teacher's advice to me after doing an interview with him for the school paper. This was the last advice I got from him. I really miss him, but I will no longer shed tears for him. He is loved and I know he is in a better place.
Sir, I'm now out of my comfort zone and I'm doing a lot of crazy shit. It took time, but I took your advice and I'm glad you told me so.

Everyone of us has very beloved comfort zones. Those are specific places, things, people or clothes that we feel, obviously, too comfortable that they make up most of us. Those comfort zones are too well known to us. Comfort zones are like home.
I remember a professor of mine once told me to go out, not literally. He said that I should try going out and have fun. I smiled and told him: Sir, Facebook's too comfy for me. Then, I walked away and closed the faculty room.
It was just then that I realized that I was spending too much time in my comfort zones. I never really tried to go out of that comfy feel and tried something new. I was too scared of going out. Too scared of something new. I loved the old and the normal too much.
I think it's bf that fear of new things. You don;t get to learn. You just do the same things over and over. Even if it's fear that's stopping you, try to face that fear or else it'll imprison you in your comfort zones.
I admit that I am too much attached. I know I should try new things for myself. Like what my professor said, it's a huge world out there. It's too bad when you don't even get to see and try things before you die.
Yeah, probably he's right. I should go out and not just keep myself inside books. I should try to be outside. It might be scary, but it's the only time to get exposed and learn. It's a time to be out there and discover.
Try. Discover. Be out there.
