Hey Laura,

I want to tell you a story before i get to the actual reply – there was a girl called Zee who lived on an island far far away. She was mostly alright there until one day, a storm came. It rained, lashed on non-stop for weeks. She prayed, hoped everyday that it would end. It just wasnt going away and kept getting worse. Finally, one day she decided to not step out of her hut. She was too frightened of the storm. Some days later the storm finally did come to an end. But Zee never stepped out of her hut. In her mind, it was too risky to go out and face the storm, though there was no storm there anyway. She decided to do what was best to save herself – stay in her hut as long as possible.

There is a world of happiness out for you and every man is not the same. Take a chance despite all your fears and uncertainty. We all fall down pretty bad sometimes and then get up, keep walking despite the bruises and pain. We dont know if we’re gonna fall down again but we need to keep moving forward, right?

Laura, love isnt easy and the last time taught you some bitter lessons, didnt it? But how long will you keep trying to withdraw in the hope that you can avoid the possibility of pain or betrayal? In this process, you are denying yourself the possibility of love as well. There can be no love without trust or respect. Let go, thats all you can really do. He adores you and you’re going to be in the same city in the next 3 months. Do you know how lucky you are this way? Why ruin it when things are going alright? There is no storm going on right now. Dont break this guy’s heart because someone else broke yours.

Think about it.
