The only calibration that counts is how much heart people invest, how much they ignore their fears of being hurt or caught out or humiliated. And the only thing people regret is that they didn't live boldly enough, that they didn't invest enough heart, didn't love enough. Nothing else really counts at all. ―Ted Hughes
What happens in the heart, simply happens.
It does. I know for sure now.
But life's not simple and love isn't free after all.
There are other people who will hurt with certain decisions.
There is fear that stands in the way of how and what we feel. Fear speaks to us more than love.
There is no actual freedom to love the person our heart begs us to.
If love was (truly) free, we need not flee.
