investing time in something is dangerous. prime example: people. investing time in people, means investing some sort of trust (maybe not to the fullest extent), and giving people the power to let you down. that's the hardest part. are people afraid of being happy because they're afraid of getting hurt? it's entirely a vicious cycle. me, getting hurt by someone who's afraid of being happy because he's afraid of being hurt is making me feel weary about being happy because i don't want to get hurt. you get the picture.
