Close your eyes, and for one moment, just one moment...imagine giving up all rights and control on your own life...a complete surrender...a deep breath that says 'que sera sera - let go' and prepares you, for just that moment, to leave yourself to destiny, beyond all ego and instincts of self-preservation, to someone else - their wishes, their being, their caring or not caring for you.
Take another breath, and honestly tell yourself, if there's someone you'd trust to give yourself upto like that?
Who?
Maybe your family, maybe not. But they have already proven they can do that when you were little. Who else? Your best friend. Your spouse. Your spiritual leader. Don't say God, imaginary friends don't count. The gamble is with fallible mortal real people.
Do you love someone enough that your faith in them can transcend your sense of self? Do you love someone enough to make them the Hero of the movie of your life - even if for just that moment?

Hard to say...I do not think..I can :)
We do this plenty of times.. with different people at different times in our lives..
and more so, we desire to do this much more often than we actually do it..
PS: Perhaps I shouldn't have generalized, but 'we' above replaced by 'I' didn't sound so good :)
Did it ... got burnt ... trying never to do it again.
I guess at this stage in life for me the answer to that question would be the least optimistic. Maybe when I'm older.
Did that. Got burnt. Doing it again.
Yes I want such person in my life more often than I say I do.
maybe did it when i was young and foolish. now it is all hands on the deck and each man for himself.

True. Hard. Most of us, cant. Even if we think we can.

Dont hide behind numbers. Say I, because that's what it really is or can be. And it's hard, so it's ok.

That's a very bad reason not to do it. Unfair to yourself and to rest of the world to let fear affect your expression

Duh. Age is no excuse. The only admissible answer is I dont know yet, I will when I get to that point in life. Which could be tomorrow. Or never. Or five yrs ago.

That's the spirit. If we dont say what we want, we will never get it. If we do say, we at least give ourselves some chance of getting it.

Keep your cynicism off me babe. Life is not so bad to dislike because of one bad thing.
