Bailing

When is it time to get out?

Obviously before the crash. We all know it's much better to get out with your pride and life intact. Just knowing when is the problem, no matter which crash you're trying to avoid. And sometimes you just don't know it's too late because you've been too busy playing with the radio or enjoying the scenery out the side window to know where you're headed. Those are the worst. Everything is just fine and then you start to fishtail, get a little sideways and then all of a sudden your lying there, busted up and hurt. And sometimes broke or worse.

Jobs, life, love, horses or cars, crashing is no good. It hurts, it's confusing and sometimes leaves you lost. Sure, occasionally you learn something, but usually there's a heavy cost involved. Unfortunately learning when to bail only comes from making it through a crash.
