How many second chances are you willing to give?

Sometimes, you just feel like asking...is it still worth it? But then you think about yourself and then about others and well...

What kind of loneliness would you end up with if you don't give away chances in a world where everyone makes mistakes on a regular basis?

Odd. It seems wise to be wary. Wise but sad.

But to not be would feel unwise. Unwise and still sad.

I love being alone. Being alone is always my goal, it's where my happiness lies. So for me to be with someone, it has to be MUCH better than being alone.

I've felt loneliness in the company of others many more times than I've ever found it sitting by myself.

So basically, I'm pretty stingy with second chances. In fact, I'm pretty stingy with first chances.

As a very forgiving person, The give people all the chances. That doesn’t make life less lonely. I lack boundaries in my personal life and that makes one very lonely.
I think we’ll established boundaries are a key to happiness and real, solid relationships.

As many as it takes, but enough is enough

We are all human, that’s where I start

@SolGryn But who wants to be a lone island?
