You ARE going into this a bit naively, honey... and your heart is wide open. That's a good thing, but be prudent.
I am well aware of the fact that my behavior may appear to others to be like that of a laughing toddler running next to the edge of the deep side of the swimming pool carrying a breakable glass with a mouthful of bubblegum and a handful of matches but you gotta remember that just like a toddler I got that low center of gravity bounce-ability thing working for me too. Also, I can swim like a fish and when I get boo-boos at least I don't pick at the scabs.
