Do you dare?

[ecliptic444]

Were you ever afraid to love someone too much?
Were you ever afraid of losing that someone?
Were you ever afraid of pain and sorrow?

Did that ever stop you from loving that person?

After reading an article about love, particularily, the saying that "'Tis better love and lost than to never loved at all." I've begun to think about my feelings for

Awww... why are you thinking such sad thoughts.
I just like to think about the positives.
Never about the fact that one day it might not be... :/

Were you ever afraid to love someone too much? - Never. If I say I love someone, I truly love them.
Were you ever afraid of losing that someone? - Yes. It has happened before, and will happen again. -_-;
Were you ever afraid of pain and sorrow? - Not really. Rather than dwell on what might happen, I think about the good times to come.

Did that ever stop you from loving that person? - No, not at all.

What if that person went away? - I don't know. o_<;
What if love deceived you? - It has happened. You simply go on, hoping to remain friends with your ex-lover.
What if the pain was too much? - What if it isn't? Don't think about how you miss them. Think about other things. ^_^

Knowing that, do you still dare to love another? - Of couse. The quote is correct. :D

And, eclip, if you're having a problem, tell someone. It totally helps. ^__^

I'm not sure if I'm afraid, but... I sometimes wonder if I love enough, and how much is enough. I wonder if I'm holding myself back, and if I am, why I am. Or if there's love, and there's Love, and whether I've found it yet :-S

About the fear, and daring to love... I'm not sure if I can answer that, not knowing if I have actually been in love. But I tend to think that quote might be right ("loved and lost than not loved..."). You can't live in constant fear of the future... happiness comes from living for the moment and with hope for the future, I think.

Were you ever afraid to love someone too much?
Yes. I'm afraid of loving my bunnies too much because I loved my first one too much. And she died. And it hurt. And it still does sometimes. And I swore not to love any pet like that again because it hurts. And when my grandma dies, I'll be afraid of loving people too. So I'm holding on to how I love people right now... Cause I know it must be good.

Were you ever afraid of losing that someone?
I try not to think about it... For the old, I can prepare myself because they've lived their life. It's the younger ones...

Were you ever afraid of pain and sorrow?
Yes.

Did that ever stop you from loving that person?
No, it didn't. It doesn't. I love my people. All of them. I know there'll be bad parts, but the good parts make up for it. Really good relationships always have bad parts... And sometimes the pain becomes sweet too. In a sad way. Anyhow.

What if that person went away?
Then I'll write.

What if love deceived you?
Then I live.

What if the pain was too much?Then I cry

Did that ever stop you from loving that person? Nope

What if the pain was too much? I've always gotten over things so far.
