I'm in a morale conundrum:

​

As a hopeless romantic, keeping myself in check has been the most difficult test I've had to partake. Risking it all will mean risking a lot... 

​

That was until someone asked, 'How much will it take, name a figure, for you to be mine?' And for the first time, the emotional and mental uncertainty was cleared. Outside of my realisation, that was my biggest fear and my one deterrence.

​

The figure is not to put a price on 'us' but to acknowledge the trade-off for my time and effort I have taken from another aspect of my life without putting myself in a compromising position. It is to make me feel safe within us, compensates for the sacrifices I've had to make and gives us certainty by providing an essence of stability. 

​

Thank you for reading through my rationale and knowing it comes from a honest, loving and good place.
