The flesh and the power it holds...
in Lonely Hearts ·
I honestly think it’s incredibly selfish to try and seal off your heart just because you got burned once.
If you actually stop and think about it, it’s just plain stupid to slam the door and shutter all the windows against every well-meaning stranger who might actually bring something good into your life, all because you're terrified of being abandoned again. Instead of being glad you finally shook off that total loser—that toxic, immature mess that clearly put you through enough hell already--you should be moving on. 😉
Every new person you see out there, the ones you catch yourself staring at awkwardly on a street corner in Chicago while you're still moping over the past? They're every bit as interesting (and exhausting) as that old flame you can't let go of... I mean, seriously, it’s all the same stuff. There isn't some one "soulmate" worth suffering for; you just pick someone who makes life a little more fun. 🙂
