It is remarkable the power we allow others to hold over us. The power to be one day lifted up, and the next day be completely eviscerated, all with a casual word. Most of the time people are completely unaware they have even given it away, or that they have been given that power themselves.
It is impossible to open your heart to someone without handing over to them this power. We trust, hoping they will exercise it with caution, and that in the best of cases, they will also give us the same power. If we want the best of what sharing of ourselves has to offer, we must be prepared for the worst as well. That is the bargain life makes with us, maintain power and be alone, or give it away and risk heartbreak.
At this moment, I am completely in the middle as to which is the best option.
