Conflicts arent the same as they used to be. I guess by the time you reach my age youve had a wide variety of experiences if youre lucky. Given that Ive been around the proverbial block a few times I know what the risks are in matters of the heart. I want to feel alive and just go for it and not protect myself all the time. How do I avoid the pain? Perhaps its inevitable in any circumstance. Why cant I just go along for the ride and not have to be the voice of reason to myself?
On the other hand...maybe Ive learned enough to want to avoid the pain and know that instant gratification is rarely worth the aftermath of suffering? Perhaps this is what being OK looks like. I want both apparently. Excitement and safety. Is this possible?
