willing to take a chance
Chances of course have to be taken. It's been two weeks now and I've come back to life.
I'm just getting tired of playing whack-a-mole with my heart.
I hear you man. It happens to me, too, and I'm not even as careful as you going with people I know for a long time - I just jump in and take a chance. Usually events and social data overwhelms my processing ability. But not my ability to compromise, communicate, be considerate, care, love or show affection. Those I am proud of. Good luck, you might be similar, someone out there will recognise your strengths. You have to keep looking, just with some protection for your heart and without desperation.
