Not only did I not write this for you, but I wrote it for myself. I figured it was about time I started thinking for myself. You can spend your whole life trying to please other people, until you realise the only person who has to live with those decisions, those choices, compromises and sacrifices is yourself. So this is the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning. This is where it starts.

The Dilemma.
And the movies, the shows, the books, the world, they tell us love is sacrifice. That they are one and the same, intertwined. But why? What if I don't want to sacrifice. What if I can't anymore? Why does compromise have to be so closely related? And does that make me selfish? But I have never managed to love like that, in a non sacrificial, non compromised way. I can't tell you it's possible when I have no proof. And so I don't love. I try, I pretend. I fail. And they tell me I will be lonely... Maybe I will.

You are probabaly the most intelligent person I've ever come across. It seems like everything you say makes sence and can always be applied to my own life. I check your blog everyday in hope of finding some new thoughts and it's really one of the highlights of my day. So thank you so much for thinking, for writing, for caring.

someones heart in the palm of your hand like

every inch of what you used to have shrinks.
@cynicalbones - That's exactly my point. Why does it have to shrink? What if I don't want it to?
