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.

  1. 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.

  4. I love, I love too much. So much that I have nothing for myself.
    And somehow, i'm still lonely.

  5. love is a sacrifice but when you
    hold
    someones heart in the palm of your hand like
    a little bird

    every inch of what you used to have shrinks.

  6. @cynicalbones - That's exactly my point. Why does it have to shrink? What if I don't want it to?
