If somebody caught you off guard asking “What you loved?” You’ll paused for a moment and think. And it’s hard to come with an answer. Yes, it’s because we never really know what we want, other than what we had affirmed ourself with. Society, culture, and god-knows-what has told us — has bombarded us - with the message: That you should know.

You don’t.

There’s a reason for that. We loved doing what feel like doing at the moment. In another word: being spontaneous. Holding back — and rethink for a second — already ruined the experiences so much so that even if we ended up doing it later, it felt like a fake. Empty.

Why we hesitate? Well, with all the love idea on spontaneity, there is also hate idea on it. Spontaneity often remarked as being unorganized, irresponsible, bad bad bad. That’s why we hesitate when the moment come. Thus ad infinitum.

But if spontaneity is bad, then does that mean hesitation is good?Thinking and rethinking over and over again — often came up with the same conclusion albeit ruined experience — well… you know the story.

So hesitation is bad. Spontaneity is good.

So next time it ‘rhyme’, go for it.
