Oh, agree.
I would far rather love and lose than never love at all.
When I stopped seeing high school friend I said, "I think it's really sad that you don't want anyone to love you, but it's your life."
Because I'm so vain I thought it was all about him. HIM being shut down. Maybe he won't be shut down with the next one. Doesn't really matter what the reason was, but I wanted to blame him and he graciously didn't argue the point - whether it was correct or not. Maybe he just didn't like me. I don't like oysters. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with oysters.
wait. there totally is.
