Should everyone take risks?

I told a close friend of mine today that there is no such thing as a perfect boyfriend, nor a perfect fck buddy. Life comes at you in crazy ways & even though it might not be EXACTLY what you want but at times you should go for it, see how great or worse the outcome turns out to be. Just TAKE THE RISK, see what happens. What if it means having that excrutiating feeling in your body? The most horrible feeling you can ever feel, next to death? What if it means starting your life over? Was your past worth your present? Will your present be worth your future? Is it worth thinking so much about something that change your life? Would it be worth taking the risk? Whoever said Life was easy, must've never tried to be loved. Is it because they never took a risk?
