"If who I am is what I have and what I have is lost, then who am I?"
Don't ever base your life on a certain some one or some thing. You never know what life can do. Let's say you lost that particular thing you can't live without. Your life, therefore, can not exist. Live for yourself, cause in the end, you leave the world alone. It's not being selfish. No, not all. It's being careful not to make someone your world, when there's a possibility you are not even IN theirs.
It's funny I'm writing this now, as I'm willfully handing over my heart, my everything, to my best friend. But that's what love does to you. As careful as you try to not lose yourself, you and your lover become one, when the spaces between your fingers are filled.
Love will make you choose. You can either take the risk of having your heart ripped out, or you can say goodbye to the part of you that was about to form.
Tough Love.
