Take Heart: think with your heart...
Take Heart: think with your heart...:
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

When i first started this blog i was 18 and wanted everything to happen to me. Now i look in the mirror and I've changed.
I had this dream again where I'm my sister meeting me in the future. We haven't seen each other in a long time and we're driving around in a red car with the top down I think maybe its California. I'm visiting, and feel so distant. She seems pretty still, calm, moneyed but colder. We agree that we wish we'd been closer over the years and she laughs a little hollowly, commenting maybe if things had worked out in Austin. She doesnt look at me really. I see she has this whole life now that ill never know or be a part of. Drops me off after we maybe have lunch and I know I'll never see her again. There's just this general feeling of sadness and missed friendship.
