Jesus knew his life would eventually be sacrificed based on his gospel and his political incorrectness at the time, and yet he did not stop doing what he believed in....and he had nothing to gain and would not accept anything in return.
I find greatness in purity of spirit, in innocence, in obscurity, in suffering in silence, in giving everything and asking for nothing, in being misunderstood and passed by when it might have been your turn, in believing in God more than ever.
I have very high expectations of love I'm afraid, can't think of a movie that comes close, and I definitely don't care for anything typical or anticipable.
Long distance relationships are difficult in every way, but with a plan in place, and that means a timeline of sorts as oppposed to complete and utter limbo, it is feasible; and some people are truly worth the effort Hang in there and work on it.
Sounds to me like you need more time to heal, and you may never do so completely. Investing time, effort, and mostly your heart is a scary thing but unless you try you may never succeed.
You choose to be true to yourself whenever you do what pleases you. One should never have to be anything but oneself.....no explanations, no apologies, no need for outside validation. In reality this is very difficult to achieve and maintain because we all have relationships with other people ....family, friends, co workers.....responsibilities and routines that give our otherwise chaotic existence some type of organization. I would have to say that when I just sit and am, I feel revitalized afterwards, because I keep everything to and for myself; no energy is expended, no part of you has been given to others, nothing is going out and nothing is coming in...it's a safe place to be sometimes.....with and by oneself.
If I was her and I saw this thread I'm not sure I would want to marry you. To me it sounds like you are closing a deal....not truly in love with anyone here.
