PACK, MAN!

Insecurities in love give you a chance
to go up another level, or get gobbled up
to begin again at some new level, go play
the old pacman game.

The test of a real relationship is in daring
the insecurity, questioning and finding the
answer is the survival of love and a deeper
commitment.

We'd never risk moving higher without
those insecurities driving us to question
what we feel. We realize we're contenders.

What a wonderful feeling to survive those
doubts and become closer, better, real,
even liked. Or, we could refuse to confront
and continually pack and leave at the first
sign of discontent or doubt.

What a joy in learning the real score!
Consider what you have won. It was a piece
of you risked, that survived or was broken.
If you have won, you possess a heart that
now knows better than to play games.
