I was talking to a friend this morning... and we were talking about beautiful people and beautiful relationships and how some times they aren't really enough... and we got to talking about the other side of the story...
The person who ends up being disillusioned and hurt while the other person is still discovering him or herself... soul searching so to speak. Does it make the pain any easier to know what to expect... ?
Maybe we can prevent our selves from expecting happiness, but can we ever stop ourselves from hoping? If we need to protect our selves from being hurt and the risk really lies in hoping, can we isolate ourselves from feeling anything beautiful and still keep on living?
I think... that given the right scenario... I might just go ahead with the journey... knowing the most likely outcome, not particularly expecting any dreams to flower ahead... of course there is a glimmer or two of hope, because you can't really help that, but you're trying to simply enjoy the moment and not think about the future. And you just 'hope' again, that when the moment is over, its swift and painless and as clean as possible.
Like a flame... you're not quite sure why it's alight but it is... because someone decided it's time to be... and you can cover it but still sooner or later it's bound to burn out... be it a lack of fuel, a gust of wind, soaked by water; it will die... and it probably will leave a scar, or a burn, or a stain even... but there's no telling how strong the mark will be... and what exactly it will change. And maybe that's not what we should concentrate on... maybe we should enjoy the light and the warmth and the beauty and take comfort in the memory of it; rather than focus on what could happen to it and what would follow... but we should be prepared for the cold, the emptiness and the darkness all the same.
If it's inevitable why fight it? Maybe you feel it's worth fighting for but maybe you'll just end up the naive fool. Sometimes silence is golden. Not very rewarding but still strong protection. Go along with the flow, you know it can't destroy you either way - kind of philosophy going there.
And I've been blabbering too much again.
