testing the strong ones.
“it’s testing the strong ones (testing the strong ones). it’s scarring the beautiful ones (scarring the beautiful ones). it’s holding the loved ones, one last time.”
there’s something else that’s been on my mind that i forgot to insert into the last blog… which is good, since it was sort of long. i’ve been thinking about second chances. i think about second chances a lot, because i’ve made a lot of mistakes and also been the victim of mistakes by others, and i used to hate myself for giving out second chances to people that hurt me, and caring about people that hurt me, but i think… i think i’m changing my opinion. there’s a limit to everything, of course, but i am starting to think that the ability to care for someone that has either intentionally or unintentionally hurt you is a strength. i love because i can. i’m strong because i believe in people. i’m alive because i risk getting hurt again, until it becomes clear that there’s nothing more i can save… i guess the best term i can think of for it is emotional resilience, because i can usually grieve, heal, and do it all over again. so what do you believe in? do you think it’s a strength to give second chances, or that being able to just write someone off is the real challenge? i think i’m becoming a reasonable mix of both… which one are you?
