Casanova...

I have recently come to the realization that I currently a female version of Casanova.

Although I do not intentionally hurt people or mess them around, I seem to have a way of attracting those who in reality, I do not want.

And those I do want, I’m too scared to actually give them a chance.

I stick with the safe option. I believe firmly in the concept of ‘safety in numbers’. In my world, there's safety in the knowledge that I have numerous men after me.

It gives me comfort; makes me feel wanted; and most importantly, gives me power.

A quote I have come to live by comes from Oscar Wilde, A Woman of no Importance, “The one advantage of playing with fire… is that one never gets even singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.” Yes, there’s always the danger of them all finding out; but it’s either living with that risk, or potentially missing out on something amazing and intense, and being left with something mundane and ordinary.
