The flesh and the power it holds...
in Lonely Hearts ·
I know how it feels. But for me, it just kind of happened out of nowhere. She was right there next to me, and she really needed someone to step up. At first, I just felt for her and helped her out as a friend. I wasn't looking for anything serious, even though I did think she was cute. Over time, we just clicked and eventually fell in love. I honestly don't regret it for a second. I get that you're at a point where you're terrified of getting burned again, but life keeps moving, I guess. Love is one of those things that heals you one minute and breaks your heart the next. Even though it’s tough right now, maybe you just have to grit your teeth and let people back in. I stumbled into a second chance I wasn't even looking for, and turns out, I was totally wrong about not wanting it. Try to learn from the pain, but I guess try to figure out the real reasons why things went south instead of just assuming everything is bad. Life is way too short to spend it mourning the past. I really hope you make it through this.
