 This comic presents, through a surreal scenario, one of Randall's recurring themes: that it is better to [[458:_Regrets|take a chance]] and make an [[308:_Interesting_Life|interesting]] [[267: Choices: Part 4|choice]].
-[[Cueball]] flies a kite, then fixes it to a tree and climbs its string. In real life, of course, the string would not be able to support the weight of a human.{{Citation needed}} Up in the sky, [[Megan]] appears hanging on a blimp, looking at him throughout the encounter. Cueball wonders about her and considers talking to her, but he does not act. After she has gone, Cueball is alone again; nothing has changed. This might be a reference to [[108: M.C Hammer Slide]]

 The title text explains the meaning of this metaphor. It is easy to regret an awkward conversation you had. In contrast, you don't regret the conversations you didn't have the nerve to start, because their cost is invisible--yet, they may have been missed opportunities, possibly a much higher cost than a simple awkward conversation.
