It is uncertainty

I was listening to the Ingrid Michaelson song "Locked Up" this morning and realized it ties into my earlier post about loving enough. Basically she is doubting whether or not her decisions regarding love are because she is fighting for her true love or if she just has locked her heart away so she is incapable of loving enough. It's quite the dilemma really. How do we ever know if we pulled the plug too soon? Did we risk enough? Hurt enough? Give enough? Nothing is ever black and white and I guess we can never be 100% sure. Too bad eh? Wouldn't it be great if we had the ability to know if we were just wasting our time or if we should keep working at it. There is a movie I watched the other day called "Timer" the basic plot line is there is a chip implanted in your wrist with a countdown to when you will meet your true love, well your most compatible mate. When you come in contact with him/her the timer makes a happy little song. Takes all the guess work out of it. I'm not asking for something quite so extreme but say after a failed attempt God could say "That's ok he/she was your second best you'll be fine." But what if you give up on your best and you end up with your second best? What then? Your life I'm sure would be happy, great even. But it could have been better if you worked a little harder, tried a little longer, loved a little more.
