It may hurt like hell either way but we're survivors. And not just survivors, people who live! I never liked the word survivor for certain things. As if the aftermath was something that left you broken and in a heap, that's the way most people think of the word. All of what you feel is wonderful, and now you're open to the reality that you're stronger than both your fear AND rejection. That's a beautiful thing that many people never come to. :) I praise where you are. I am not even going to say courage cause it implies something truly scary when the truth is it's something wonderful. <br> <strong>Jon...i love your perspective in that it broadens mine so much more.......you are more then right in what you wrote and thank you for sharing it. :) Morgan</strong> So what indeed?

You're right about love being an opportunity. As with all opportunities you have to weight out the pros and cons. However, based on your where you want to go in your life, I'd say it's a great opportunity to take. This experience will definitely add another layer to your life and I'm looking forward to see how it unfolds in your blog :) Hey Morgan, missed you and missed being here too.

The beginning of a relationship, if you are calling it that at this point, is one of the most exciting times. You have a lot of good questions and I hope you find the answers. Just as you have deduced your own life experiences, I'm sure you can carry that in your relationship this this guy. I'm sure those questions will be answered over time if you let your heart answer them and your ears block the noise of your past. Everyone deserves a chances and deserves love. It's not easy taking a chance, but it's not love if you don't either. Trust yourself. <br> <strong>Rolando my friend how I miss you so much! I was actually just thinking of you this morning so what a nice surprise it was to see that you had visited. You are so right in trusting myself, trusting my heart...it never lies...I just never truly listened to it.

Hey Noor…
Thanks for the words of wisdom from Malaysia…for me the old songs were playing in the background of my mind for a bit…I’m sure you know the tunes…
“What happens if he doesn’t feel the same way?”
“What if i’m not good enough?”
“What if I’m damage goods”
“What if (Fill in the blank)”
At this point I have allowed the feelings and insecurities to pass….it was uncomfortable, but freeing as well. Somedays the past kicks up and tries to manifest itself in the present and it takes a conscious effort not to permit it from occuring, but at the moment ….”This too HAS passed.”
