Relationships

Be careful with your heart. That is something that I haven't really done lately. I usually am the girl with all of the walls up. It's not that I don't want to be in a relationship, it's just that I think deep down I am afraid of getting hurt. But aren't we all? I think that is what relationships are about. Whether it is a romantic one or just a friendship. All come with the risk of getting hurt, but you don't know until you try.

Opening up to these can potentially lead to something great. Something that teaches you to care. Teaches you to hope. Challenges you. Pushes you to be a better person. Teaches you to love. So many more things can come out of it that may change your life. Even with the risk of getting hurt, I think the possibilities of all those positive outcomes are completely worth it. Even if it is something that ends up hurting you, you can learn from it. Become a better person from it.

I just am not sure where to draw the line I guess. The line between friendship and something more. A relationship that can hurt one day and make me completely happy the next. One where there is complete and brutal honesty. No matter how much it may hurt, I appreciate it so much. One that challenges me to push myself. I'm so grateful for what I've had, but just do not know where to go from here. I guess taking it one day at a time is best, but I always need to remember to still look out for my heart.

All I know...is that in the last 24 hrs, I realized how much I care about you. And I had such a happy 24 hours with you. We'll see what the future holds. But at the very least, I'm glad I have you in my life. Thank you.
