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?

But happiness for a little while, versus being unhappy for a long time, after... I can't help but wonder, if missing the highs but avoiding the lows would be healthier.

Then again...

You might be right.

I know it's kind of scary, but if you're expecting to be unhappy all the time, then that's what's going to happen. You have to believe you can make it work, somehow- even if that's just a small part of you. I've never regretted my choices, not the important ones. I only regret not being strong enough to see the last one through.

That isn't exactly what I expect, I just... can't help thinking something awful is going to happen, at some point.

That's good to know. I don't think I would regret this, I'm just-- not certain I can do it.

Ah, the good ol' sense of foreboding. I'm pretty used to that one, too. I'm sorry you have to deal with it, though- wish I could say it goes away. Well, either you will or you won't. It'll probably fall to the best decision for you, anyway. But if it were me? I would go for it.

I think that's too much to hope for, yeah.

There really isn't a 'best' decision-- we can never know what might have happened. But... it helps, thank you.
