Old post never put here:

If you want to take a chance with someone you have to let go of anything else that keeps to attached to other things. It’s a simple really, think of it this way…can you hold someone’s hand if you’re using it to grab someone else’s at the same time? no,you cannot hold it properly. with love, it’s that way as well. you can’t give yourself completely if you’re still holding on to a past love, to what could have been…to what might be with someone else. To take a risk you have to give in or give up, completely. There are no happy-mediums. You can’t take a risk half-way because you wouldn’t be risking anything at all, right? But we’re so selfish…so scared of being left with nothing that we settle with half-emotions just so we don’t risk losing everything. We’re ok with being almost-happy, or kind-of in love…because we’re scared of letting everything else go and give our everything for this one thing we’re trying to pull off. and there we go…we hold on to every little thing and give only pieces of ourselves; incomplete, unwilling pieces. there are risks i haven’t taken and risks i’ll never take. there will always be ‘what would’ve been if i…’. ultimately all i want to remind myself and anyone who reads this is to try to make those “what would have been”s” as least as possible. try to risk it all when it feels worth it…follow your instinct. you truly never know how amazing it might be…
