Sometimes it takes something unusual to set you straight. I had thought that I had been acting appropriately under the circumstances. But today, when three people had the same strong feeling about someone close to me, I got very concerned, as I do not believe in coincidences.
Today, I got the lesson that although most times it may be impossible to change outcomes,and, it is so easy to not want to put yourself out for fear of hurts...life is not about protecting yourself from everything. You never can really protect yourself from every hurt.
I had to confront the possibility that things could change in an instant for me, and it made me anxious and sad and it also did something else, it made me feel very clear about what matters. So I did the only thing that I could do, I told him what I'd seen and heard and then I said how I felt.
I didn't say it for dramatic effect, or for him to like me... and I just put myself out there, saying what is true, because I felt it today when life suddenly speeded up and reminded me of how precious it is.
