I believe God intended more for human-human relationships. I just need to find what more is. How much more more is. When more is. God never intended for us to feel alone. Or helpless. |

Again and again and again.
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 of Heaven, where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love, is Hell.
C.S. Lewis The Four Loves
Ouch.
I've no idea how to do this. It's a maze that's what this is. Those mirror maze you find in science centres. The ones that we're so sure we've figured out - just look out for the edges on top where the mirror ends! But still can walk right straight into a trap.
I'm stuck. I freeze. I don't want to walk any further, bump into any more mirrors. I'll just stay here. I'm fine too, don't worry about me, just keep on walking don't need to bring me out. I'll find the way myself... eventually.
But now CS Lewis comes along and tells me I've to keep moving. How. :c
