| i love youto death. i know you, inside out. and that scares you because you spent your whole life working to fence yourself off, to isolate yourself from everyone else. and then i came along and blew that all away. only now your life is falling apart and you're doing your best to keep anyone from seeing. but you cant hide anything from me, even if you hate me. im trying so hard to accept that this is not my issue, not my problem, and therefore not my concern. and im not going to talk about shit with anyone, ever again. im just going to keep this all to myself, because i cant do anything else. but i hope you know that at some point, you have to make a decision. boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. life is messy, that's how we're made. so you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. but there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. here's what i know. if you're willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side is...spectacular. "The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping." so maybe i made a mistake that you consider unforgivable. but even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying. |
