To be open hearted and love people completely? Or hold back? It's a question I've been wondering about for a while. If you love someone, why hold back? It's natural, it's what you want to do. But people say that you're going to get hurt, it's naive, stupid, unrealistic. That life isn't like that, that love isn't like that.
But if love isn't this divine thing then I imagine it like this: One boy pines over this popular, good-looking bit..., I mean, girl for years thinking that she's his dream girl. All the while the boy's "best friend" is being too good a best friend for him to ever realize that the girl of his dreams has been next to him his whole life. Yet the best friend keeps believing that one day he'll open his eyes to become her dream guy. And all the while she cries to her best friend, a guy, that her dream guy doesn't notice her. And that "best friend" is thinking "well, you never notice me" but he'll never say that outloud and will ever only continue be the best friend. In the end, they'll all end up alone.
If that's the practical, realistic love people are telling me to go for, then I'd rather get hurt. I don't want to become that person that's jaded and cynical. I rather be the one who puts myself out there because I have to believe that love brings two people together. If love isn't like that then it wouldn't be worth fighting for. So call me a hopeless romantic, naive, foolish, stupid, but if love isn't like that then I'm not sure I want it. I want to believe....
Yet I'm afraid.

i'd definitely go for it too. we only got one life on earth and God isnt gonna just make our future lover just -poof!- appear in front of us, although God is fully capable of doing that haha
