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?




[ooc; all Cameron's replies will (ofcourse) be anonymous until midnight at which point they will revert to being hers. For my own ease of recordkeeping: courier replies were anon, anything in regular font is written post-midnight. IF FOR ANY REASON YOU WANT TO BACKDATE, please put pre-midnight on your thread <3]

If someone I love is dying, my happiness matters a lot less than theirs does. I don't want to not be there.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

By that logic, it seems like the other person is being selfish.

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people who die of massive heart attacks are all me me me. They'd be more selfish if they didn't tell anyone.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

The heart attack was just an example.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I don't think a different diagnosis disproves my point.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

There are other ways for things to end than death, too. Does your point still stand then?

[private;]

That would depend on the situation. If they're going to run off with the mailman it's less likely.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

Definitely not infidelity. In my hypothetical.

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Maybe, maybe not. How much do you love them?

[private;]

[as_damaged]

How do you quantify something like that?

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I think they say you just know.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

I care... Enough that being told, flat out, that I'd be better off walking away wouldn't convince me.

Cameron?

oh god.

Why am I giving you advice on--

What was this about?

[private;]

[as_damaged]

It's-- complicated. I didn't mean to--

You're not going to have a heart attack or anything like that.

I'm.

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I thought you were talking about your husband.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

I... [Slow down here before you say more stupid things, Cameron.] ...don't need advice, about my husband.

I was just thinking aloud.

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

About whether you should wait for me to die?

[private;]

[as_damaged]

Yes, exactly. Is that really what you think?

[private;]

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

I don't know what I think. You're... planning for the end of something that hasn't started. No, that you ended.

[private;]

[as_damaged]

...I told you that I couldn't give you what you wanted.

It wasn't... just about sex.
