    Be Careful With Her Heart

    Normally, I don’t write about anything TOO personal. I save it for my songs. But there’s something that’s REALLY been weighing on my heart. So here it goes.

    Since Rachel and I broke up about months 4 months ago after dating and living together for over 3 years, I’ve dated a few people. Usually at the same time. Not cheating of course, just going on dates, getting to know people, while being open with everyone that I’m dating. But this is the first time in my life that I’ve dated so casually and normally. Typically in the past, I’ve been a relationship sort of person. And without a doubt I am a true hopeless romantic. Waiting for my love story. For something intense and maybe even obsessive. But after Rachel and I broke up I’ve grown to fear a permanent commitment. As though every time I begin to feel something, I end up just pulling away. Which, of course, leads me to hurt someone who never deserved to be hurt. What am I rambling about? I’m getting there.

    Here it is: Guys, nothing that starts casual stays casual. Be careful with people’s hearts. I believe that when you break someone’s heart, you break your own a little too. And when one person is feeling something more intense than the other, it’s important to sack up, and communicate this with them. With Rachel and I were never on the same page. Either she was blazingly in love with me while I was only comfortable, or months later she would be only comfortable with me while I was border line obsessed with everything about her. Eventually, of course, we came to feel the exact same thing… Casual comfort! And comfort is not love. In the end, we waited for 3 years to realize that we were only friends. You have no idea how much harder this is than just hating someone for cheating on you and breaking up. I’d give anything to hate her, but I can’t! IT SUCKS!

    So be honest. Share your feelings openly. Not only with her, but with yourself. I think I’m writing this message as much for you as I am for myself! Because I’ve led far too many people on, however unintentionally, and I have far too many cracks in my heart’s armor from the cracks I’ve made in theirs.
