trying not to be scared of saying, "i love these people and i want this to last."
always had a fear of jinxing, so i've always tried to stay away from absolute statements.
always try to repeat wishes in a similar fashion if they've worked in the past.
repeating and reciting things like "this will work, this will stay, i can keep this", but never saying it out loud for fear it will hear and run away.
well, i am realizing that it makes no difference. things will stay or not stay or go away or you will lose them no matter what.
so i am saying: "i love these people, and i want this to last for a long, long time,"
and then i feel scared.
