Would you rather find your true love at 16 and be with them for the rest of your lives, or would you rather...

@walabby Awww Hugs.

@Zoranna My life has stayed reasonably on track, but there were times that I wondered..

@walabby Mine too but there's always been "what if?". I understand completely.

@Zoranna "What if" is a dangerous place to go, at times... :/

@walabby I've often wondered about that. I'm too cautious by nature and wish sometimes I'd just take a chance. I would have had nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. Does make you think ...

@Zoranna Yeah, you can be too careful.. Sometimes you really should take a chance, even with the big things in life...

@walabby I'm getting braver, time will tell. It's still very much on the table.

@Zoranna So much depends on luck, but not all. The head should map out some reasonable criteria before the heart is given free rein...

@walabby The heart was given a long time ago, luck doesn't come into it. You're a very logical and practical person it seems, that's good. I'm the eternal romantic.

@Zoranna I probably am to some extent.
It does suck when something like that happens :(
Sometimes you just have to settle for second best, and that can often prove to be pretty good in the long run..

@walabby This isn't second best, it's possibly the best thing that's ever happened to me and it's been five years now. I just really don't understand why I have reservations, but there must be some reason. I'm not stupid, I just have to find it. Anyway, sorry it's been all about me, I answered the question because of you. I sincerely hope you haven't settled for second best. :-(

@Zoranna As it happened I didn't. I just thought that I did once or twice.. :D
Sometimes you mind plays tricks and makes you over cautious. Get a piece of paper and draw a vertical line down the middle. At the top write,"For" on one side , and "Against" on the other. Jot down things accordingly..
Make sure you burn the note when you're finished.. :)
