Take a Chance on Me

If you change your mind

I'm the first in line

Honey, I'm still free

Take a chance on me

If you need me, let me know

Gonna be around

If you've got no place to go

When you're feeling down

Sang ABBA… but isn’t this something we keep asking ourselves and keep asking others. At every turn, at every moment , at every phase of our lives, that’s what we keep saying, that’s what we keep wanting, that’s what we keep asking.

Be it a dating app, or a job interview, or love, that’s what we ask, take a chance on me. It’s take the chance and go through the door, not knowing what’s behind it, what’s in store for us. Or take a chance and take the leap of faith, not knowing whether we will plummet down, or we will find our wings and take flight and soar.

It’s like standing in front of your lover (or a love interest) telling them that you are just a boy standing in front of them to love him. To put all the past hurt, to put all their doubts and fear, behind them. To heal. To take a chance of him. To love him.

It’s like flipping through various profiles on a dating app, each in their own way asking you to take a chance on them and swipe right, give them a chance to know them, to show you who they truly are, or let them get into your pants.

It’s like going for an interview and asking your interviewer to take a chance on you. You have shown your qualifications and experience, now you need the chance to prove your ability, your capabilities. And hopefully they will not regret giving you the chance, or you won’t regret taking the chance.

At the end of the day, life’s all about taking chances, on love, life, and everything in between, never knowing what’s in store for us.
