"love like i'm not afraid to be alone.."
that line struck me the other day..."love like i'm not afraid to be alone", overheard it from a country song i happen to download sometime last week or so. can't help but repeat the song again...
sometimes we are so very careful in friendship and other relationship, so careful that the friendship becomes extremely fragile. you treasure it so much that when something unwanted happens, the friendship is like a castle built of sand. what seemingly strong is actually built by a very sensitive foundation. maybe we should just throw ourselves into the friendship? give everything we got? but i find that reckless.
hurt is probably something that is hard to describe in words. in my opinion anger is something that is temporary, a form of expression, a somewhat bitter disappointment let out. but hurt? it's probably something deeper than anger. for me, hurt is probably a form of disappointment unable to surface and thus it will leave a scar inside? maybe scar is not the exact word, mark is a better choice of word i think.
do you dare to throw yourself into something uncertain? give everything you have to something unsure? love someone (or a group of people) without knowing whether they reciprocate?
i guess that's life.
life's a gamble.
making one small step is already a gamble.
question is: do you (i) dare leave the hurt behind and gamble?

No...the risk is more than I can take. Explains everything rite?
I fixated on balance right now. Yin and Yang, Black and White. Can't have one without the other. Life is but varying shades of grey... yadda yadda. Heard of the phrase 'Trust your neighbours, but lock your door'? Just like everything in life, you won't get very far if you play it safe all the time. I think 'taking the road less traveled' means just that, taking more challenging but possibly more dangerous route - not offering the lion your head after you've just heard its stomach growl.
Good luck my friend.
Just read your previous post. Glad to hear that you still sound the same - like an extremely nice guy trying to fit into a cynical and unforgiving world. If I may be so bold to suggest, your relationships with everyone around you will be much more meaningful if you are comfortable with yourself. If you can just take time out and enjoy your own company, which can also means you are being open to new possibilities instead of staying in your comfort zone.
Did that make any sense at all? Anyways, just wanted to put in a vote of confidence and support to the nice guy I know. Cheers.
Hi! I think you have a very interesting question : “do you dare to throw yourself into something uncertain? give everything you have to something unsure? love someone (or a group of people) without knowing whether they reciprocate?”
Well, my response to that is that the greatest thing in life is love. I’m not talking purely about romantic love, but also the love that you have for life itself, the people around you (difficult/nice they may be), the love you have for others/things that make you want to go out of your way to help others in need, encourage or uplift them with your words or actions.
Just as the sun shines on the ground and the rain falls on those deserving/undeserving, we are not really in the position to judge who is to be loved/not…because we are not perfect to begin with and we all have our own shortcomings and limitations. If we do love only those whom we think are deserving or not, then the love that we give to others is conditional….
While it is true, that not every kind deed/gesture may be reciprocrated, but you know that by doing the right thing – by sowing a kind word,deed or action can make a difference in a person’s life…..either at that point in time or much later. It’s easy for one to love those who love him in return, but how often is it easy to love those whom you find it most difficult to get along with?
We are sometimes not the best people in the world for others to get along with as well.
So live, and let live…and let us help one another to become better people, so that they may also be a blessing to others as well. :)
