Perri, you think I've never ever wondered about all this thing? You think I'm all happy not thinking on what could ever go wrong and, as usual, screw everything up, leaving me, as usual, feeling like a crappy shitty being? I'm absolutely terrified.
I suppose you could go into it with the attitude that you deserve all the joy it brings you. YOU are worth the happiness, YOU are worth being loved. And if it does fall apart, it isn't you that screwed it up. It just happens sometimes.
I agree with Perri Love is terrifying, but it wouldn't be if it wasn't worth it Try to just accept things the way that they are, and live in the moment
Love is temporary because life is temporary. Maybe this love will last the rest of your life; maybe you'll spend the rest of your life with some beautiful memories of the love that made you a happier, better person; maybe you'll discover that the two of you don't have what it takes to make a healthy long-term relationship and you'll go your separate ways after awhile. You never know how long it will last or when it will happen again. But my 2 cents worth is: revel in the joy as much as possible. Roll around in it, smear it all over yourself, sculpt your hair with it, ingest it.
Me too. "Casual sex" isn't in my repertoire. Tried it once; couldn't wait for it to be over; had to fake it (only time in my life); won't ever do it again.
