The put-together-me would say go ahead and just do it, you only live once.

But we are more careful than that! I've been bitten on the *** too many times.

I wish I could tell people that they won't get hurt if they trust someone, but the truth is when you start to trust someone you are opening yourself up to the possibility of hurt. Now we could shut down completely, not trust in any shape or form and end up with nothing. If we do open up to anyone new, then the worry is, if this will then be used against us!

Ummm... here's to hoping we don't get hurt yet again!
