“Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … the pain of the leaving can tear us apart.Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking." -Henri J.M. Nouwen

Secrets Within Us (Jikook)
Memories cannot be erased and people do not change overnight. When imagination takes control anything is possible. Sometimes we create altered memories, versions of ourselves that in reality don't exist. Memories and versions of others that don't exist. Sometimes we create versions of the people we love and maybe, sometimes we turn them into monsters...to protect them. To protect ourselves. All Park Jimin ever wanted was to love. Unapologeticaly love without regret, but sometimes in love there is consequence. Sacrifice. All love comes with sacrifice but some consequences are much stronger than others. If you had to die would you do it? Would you sacrifice yourself in order to protect the one that you love? Would you die to save them? Or would you stand and fight until the swords were down and the battle is over? It is unclear why people do such dramatic things for love but when emotion is involved I guess there are no boundaries. In love comes consequence. In consequence comes sacrifice. In sacrifice comes death.Complete

I STILL CHOSE You (Michaeng 💚)
We always look for love because they say it's the most beautiful thing a person can feel. It's one of the most extra-ordinary emotion we can experience. But you know that every great thing comes with a great price. What if that LOVE is fatal? What if that LOVE you've always dreamed of suddenly fall apart? What if that person you wanna spend the rest of your life with suddenly left you? Left you with unanswered questions. Left you with different heartaches. Left you with unachieved dreams? Are you willing to let go when you knew the reason why she have to leave? Or are you still gonna hold on because you know you can still be her reason to stay? **Complete![We are impossible...[CHAENNIE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/345143999-256-k747393.jpg)

Tangled Love
"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉Complete
