The wild card

Spontaneous, yet strategic. Eclectic, yet stylish. Funny, smart, ambitious, driven...unsettled.

These are a few of the traits a wild card possesses.

Everyone knows at least a few.

Some have even dared date one. But in the end, most people go with the "safe, predictable" pick.

A wild card is high risk.

Yet, so exciting.

Most people want a taste of life with the wild card, it's exhilarating!

But, most people can't do a lifetime with a wild card. It's hard to settle down with someone, so unsettled.

So they dabble. They try it. Just to say they tried. They begin things, knowing from the beginning it'll never work, it's a wild card, the risks are too great for them to REALLY go all in.

For the few, oh the very very few, that stick, that dive in, head first, and put all their money on the wild card...they end up with a life of magic! Everyday, is bright, a mystery, an adventure! Yeah, they may hit a "safe, yet boring" stride every now and again. But if they let the wild card fly, without having to hold onto the strings, they will have the rare opportunity to experience an ocean deep love.

When it comes to relationships though, wild cards are often hesitant. They fear their freedom will be taken away, their creativity stifled. But once they are assured, once they know that someone is invested in them, for the long haul, they are the most loyal and faithful lovers.

I consider myself a wild card. High risk. With a huge pay out for the one who, not tames me, but chooses to soar beside me.

Are you a wild card? Have you ever dated a wild card? Or better yet, are with a wild card now? I'd love to hear about it!
