Worth the effort


"To quietly fall for someone is to give them the power to harm you. Whether or not the other person actually needs or wants that kind of advantage and responsibility over you, realization of it will dawn on them unfairly, and often too late."

- When Fallen Angels Fly -

The way I see it? Anything that is done out of moderation constitutes a risk, and if there was ever anything out there that absolutely could not be expressed in moderation, it would be love.

Our heartbreaks, letdowns and disappointments - while very painful to deal with - are necessary risks we take to venture out in life. If we are as sensible as we claim to be, then we must also accept that we are accountable for the things that we do (and feel), and the consequences that befall us. Perhaps the best way to heal is to reach into ourselves and find the source of strength that allowed us to take that first courageous step to begin with.

It takes two to tango, no matter how the dance ends. But in the larger scheme of things, what really matters is the effort you made to turn it into an amazing performance.. :)

you're being ambiguous again.. ;p

Anyway, it is a view out of so many views. The quote -oddly enough- came from a short fanfiction I was reading a while ago.

Can't remember who the author was but she made such perfect sense to me, I just couldn't ignore her.. :)

in other words be responsible for that heart of yours? Nyhuhuhuh ^_~

In other words, be responsible for yourself!

While other people definitely can affect us, at the end of the day it is our reaction to those effects that determine how things will go!

Ah, it's the whole put-yourself-in other-people's-shoes thing all over again, bb. You get the idea.. ^^
