RD, honey, I'm going to call you out on something. You've said more than once, most recently to our dear friend Cira, that you can't enter a relationship again for fear of getting hurt. RD, you can't live life that way, all closed off. Yes, you are going to get hurt again, I guarantee it. It will be a friend, a relative, someone. There will be someone you open up to that doesn't return your love, who betrays you, who breaks your heart. That doesn't mean you should live in a box, RD. I know, I lived in a box, a teeny tiny little box for a lot of years, and believe me, it's no way to live. You miss out on so much, and it doesn't keep you from getting hurt, anyway. Open up, RD, don't be afraid to live. You are attracted to Cira because she lives large, lives with passion, and you know that's deep inside you, too, it's clear in your stories. Don't deny that for fear of getting hurt again, RD. Live large. Be bold, be out there, open up. Life is waiting.
