someone reading my blog [alison] asked me in my c-box "how do you love someone without getting hurt?"

i told her that i'd try and answer her question.

love is not something that's ever going to be easy. there's always one person who loves the other person more. there may be lies and these lies can effect everything else you think about them. you can't put yourself too far out there bc, in the long run, you may get hurt. i hope you never get hurt. don't ever lie when you think you love someone. sometime in the future, the lies will come back and bite you in the butt. you can't try too hard or try too less. consistancy is always good; don't change your mind too quickly bc sometimes you can change it for the wrong reason. you may get your heart broken. don't we all? i'll admit, i can be sadistic and other people can be too. for the most part, i'm not, though. you have to trust yourself and your feelings and trust your partner with your feelings. don't doubt what they've told you bc they can very well be telling you the absolute truth all the time. if you find proof that you cannot trust them, let them go first and throw them out like a day old muffin. you don't need that kind of drama in your life messing you up and screwing you over. you're strong so act on your strengths. love is never easy. don't you wish there was a "love handbook" telling you all the rules and what everything means? i'm sorry that i can't answer this question.
