not that you asked but here’s a little advice about love. people love for the sake of experiencing it. to have loved is to have lived. they know it hurts, everyone does, but they do it because love offers you something in life that a lot of other things can’t. you see the world differently, the people around you feel different when you’re in love, food tastes better and your heartbeat feels healthy because you’re content, because you’re in love. falling in love with someone means exposing the softest most fragile parts of yourself to them, and then praying they don’t destroy you. because if they wanted to, it would be fatal. but that’s the risk you take with love and with life. and i understand being scared of it, but you can’t deprive yourself of it just because it might hurt in the end. if that was the case then why do anything at all? you get a job just to get fired. you make new friends just to fall out of touch. you eat your favorite food just to finish it. you live just to get old and die. good and bad are hand in hand. you love just to get hurt. not to be dumb and poetic.. i understand being scared to love. but you’ll never go places in life if you don’t just do it. i hope this reaches you well and you understand what im saying.

Thank you so much! This has actually been on my mind for quite a while. So having someone share their thoughts is really helpful, especially on things I'm not familiar about. And I was determined to just avoid anything involving love or romantic relationships at all cost, since I can't afford to be distracted by my feelings as of the moment. Because I know it's easier to be affected by someone who you deemed important.
But I think, I'll give it one more thought. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ since I've decided to live and enjoy my life, I won't succumb to my fears anymore. Still, I won't rush just to be in a relationship though ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ it's just that, I'll stop running away from it, and let things happen.
Again, thank you! I hope your mind will feel at ease as well, just like how you've made me feel today! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

in the end it’s your life and if that’s how you choose to live it then so be it. i’m not a “pro love” person, im equally scared and very traumatized by being love bombed by an abuser. my brain cannot separate the feeling of being abused and the feeling of being loved. but love is one of the easiest ways to be happy. it’s also the easiest way to be unhappy but it’s best to have experienced it than to not of at all

you know yourself better than anyone else can and that goes for your boundaries too. sometimes love really isn’t the best choice and sometimes you need to take some time for yourself so you can go at your own pace. it’s a matter of what works for you ^^ i’m only 21, i have a lot of life to live and a lot to experience haha but glad i could have helped you out a bit. i wish you luck in life (⌒▽⌒)
I kinda understand the old guy, but I feel sorry for Haebom's mom. I know he just doesn't want Hyeonji to suffer, but I think, being left all alone by the man you love so much, far exceeds the hardship that comes by being on his side. What more if she found out that he did that for her sake ╥﹏╥
ps. This is the reason why love scares me so much. If love was genuine, you get hurt, if love was fake, you still get hurt. But I'm tired of being hurt, so maybe I'll pass on this so called love (⌒▽⌒)
