What if

What if you just don't?

In a predicament, not sure what to do.

I want to give up, but what if?

What if I try harder?

What if I just get up and try again?

Always told to think about what you would miss if you don't follow the what if.

But what if you don't?

Why can't you just don't?

What if you don't actually do something? What would you miss?

Sometimes if you just don't what if is a lot better than finding out the hard way.

Not all what if’s are good.

Totally see the what if out but it's okay to just not.
