Cutting the Heartstrings

People tell me things about him…indeed even I think he’ll hurt me.
People tell me to keep a distance, don’t commit too much, wait a little before investing any more, do not go ‘all in’…
Perhaps there’s a part of me which kids myself, giving myself a false sense of hope which I can’t help but cling on to – that maybe the others are wrong…
Why does it feel like it’s beyond my control? My head is indeed screaming at me to protect myself, I know I should be more vigilant and less naive. But everytime I see him, my determination seems to wane…
My question is, do you think it’s possible to tell yourself to put some emotional distance between you and the one you love? Don’t be inclined to state the obvious i.e. Of Course Not! Bear in mind that even you realise it’s probably wise not to put so much in, but do you think it’s actually possible to shake yourself out of love by ‘rationalising with yourself’, and convincing yourself that perhaps this isn’t such a great idea… Or do you believe that there is no place for rationality and logic when it comes to matters of the heart?

Honey yes you can!!!
You can start all over again.
Love and light to you
Time and distance… with no contact works best in moving on.
