"Love is the kind of thing that's already happening by the time you notice it, that's how it works, and no matter how old you get, that doesn't change. Except that you can break it up into two entirely distinct types -- love where there's an end in sight and love where there isn't."
//Goodbye Tsugumi; Banana Yoshimoto
I've learnt today that some solutions to dilemmas are truly irretractable. That once it is given, there may no longer be a way back. That there is really no give between two choices. That the only real giving is the question of who will eventually give in first. And, in the end, all that we strive to do is just to postpone the inevitable. Which leads me to wonder, maybe the decision that you made to save the world from heartache was right in the end. Maybe we always begin with a tenacity to work things through but in the end, mere tenacity is never enough, not when there is a real choice to be made between two equally conflicting alternatives, not when sooner or later, we all are forced to face up to the things we pretended didn't matter but always knew that they did.
