well, why not.

if you know something good is bound to end badly, is it still worth beginning? when does happiness outweigh the risk, the loss?

Yes. It's worth it.

Always? No matter how badly it ends?

I don't think anything is worse than never knowing what could have been.

Are you speaking from experience?

You could say that.

Happiness always comes with a risk, though. Anytime you let yourself be happy - with someone, or even just at all - you know there's a chance that you'll get hurt. But if you do get hurt, it doesn't negate the fact that you were happy, and you'll always remember that you were.

But is it different if you know the risk, the price, beforehand? Knowing that the good memories will be tempered by bad ones?

I guess that depends on who you are more than anything, how exactly it ends, and how much you think that will hurt you. Though knowing the ending doesn't tell you the middle - how happy you'd be - so you still might end up wondering no matter what.

And sometimes... it's different in another way. Sometimes if you know the ending beforehand, and you know how horrible it is, and if you know exactly how much it hurts, you just want to enjoy the good parts even more, while you can.

...Thank you.

You're welcome.

And good luck, with however it goes. I know it's not easy, but I hope whatever you choose is what's right for you.
