Having gone through love and loss several times in my life, I think your decision is a sound one. A loving friendship is much longer lasting and always has the potential to go in different directions.
Not sure if it’s a trick, but to calm myself/my heart…I try to remind myself that I need to give permission to someone to make me feel a certain way. So, whenever I choose, I can simply deny their request. Or grant it.

I took mushrooms and learned to love the world.
This, friend, seems like some mighty fine advice.

Thank you, Henny. A great reminder that no one can "make" you feel one way or another.
