This is a LIE. There is no safety in love. To love means to risk. Risk means possible injury. Injury means pain. So ask yourself before you choose to love someone if they are worth the pain.
...jump into resistance, fly into pain, hope for cracks, welcome the hurt and stretch your body for the discomfort...find that person who will brave the fire and flames by your side and not shrink back...
They are worth the pain.
and risk, like any investment, means there are rewards to be reaped.
ReplyDeletethe higher the risk, the greater the reward... if it works
Maybe sometimes it's not about wondering whether the other will brave the fire and flames to be with you. This is not what makes them worth it. Sometimes you decide they're worth it for entirely different reasons, and you take the chance to be the brave one and to jump into the flames and fire without knowing where you'll land or how much you'll be burned.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we've all done this at least once. And we got burned too badly, so we learned to wait for someone to jump in first for us.
But I don't want to live like that. I can't stand to. No regrets.
