some things recently came up and it has me thinking a lot. i'm not sure who else to ask this? the person i'd normally talk to is... part of it.

is it possible to have romantic feelings for more than one person at the same time? does that make you a bad person? i never had to consider it before because i thought everything would be simple, for me at least, but now it isn't so simple and i'm not

sure what to do

i don't want to hurt them

i knew it was possible, we just don't have a word for it back home. people just sort of... are, i guess.

probably. i can't help wanting to do what's best for them too, though. it's hard to put myself above anyone.

[rightfoot]

That might be for the best. For people to just be as they are.

I never considered being honest with yourself as putting yourself above anyone else. To me it seems you'd be doing others a favor being honest.

[thisisamazing]

you could say that. usually.

[Sometimes being how you are gets you in trouble. Like the twins. But he gets the sentiment.]

i guess that's another way to look at it. not being honest doesn't help anyone, but it's hard to shake that feeling that something might be inherently selfish too.

[rightfoot]

How is it selfish, though. If you can explain why then - maybe it is a little.

But it's better to just be honest about it.

i

i guess i can't explain it. doing something just for me feels wrong somehow? i usually have to worry about everyone else. i probably wouldn't say it's selfish if it was someone else.

[And boy, isn't that a realization.]

honesty. yeah. i should be honest about it.

[rightfoot]

There you go. If you wouldn't tell someone else that it's selfish, then it's not selfish for you.

that makes a lot of logical sense, but not so much emotional sense. but you're right. i just need to convince myself of that.
