a message to the people in my life, near and far: just because you were burned by love doesn't mean you should hide your heart forever. it will only make you emotionally stoic, and unavailable--no better than the person who burned you in the first place. you should never feel ashamed for loving someone; it is only shameful if you don't love

I'm sorry for that is all I can say.

your overwhelming positivity is simply remarkable! i think you are an amazing person. and that is the truth as best as I know it.

[andthenjensaid]

okay, that actually got me teary-eyed and choked up. thank you. i wasn't writing to be optimistic, but rather truthful; genuine. i appreciate you seeing it for what it is. and thank you for your comment, because i was having a really awful night--the last hour in particular--and it brightened my mood a bit xoxo

You already know that I hold you in very high regard.
You already know I think you are brave .
You already know I am very honoured to have met you.
But I want to add this
You are an amazing woman , if I had a daughter I would hope she would
have the grace of heart ,the intelligence and the strength that you have.
I am very happy to have found you and I am squarely in your corner .
Namaste Jen ~ Fela

my goodness.. like everyone previous has mentioned, you truly are a wonderful person. wow!

i'm almost a bit ashamed to admit this, but i've never found myself to be 'in love'.. i'm 22 years old, and have yet to find anyone i can say 'i love'.. quite sad i suppose..

[andthenjensaid]

it's not sad at all. falling in love is absolutely traumatizing, a lot of the times in a good way. but it's terrifying and exhilerating and you shouldn't rush yourself into finding someone to fall for. because it'll happen eventually, probably sooner than you think.
