Anyone else ever love someone sooo much, and yet, (because of all the pain they cause) VERY MUCH DIS-LIKE them at the same time? Furthermore, have you been forced to forget about them, but no matter what, your heart won't let go? SUCKS! SO...the question is, do you continue loving them, OR do you give up that child-like faith (that SOMEDAY your fairy tale will have a happy ending), and try to love another? As much as I try to do JUST THAT, reality sinks in every time, and I'm right back to being stubborn. Trying to prove the world wrong. That happy endings do exist, and unless that special someone says "I HATE YOU!", faith will still reside deep within.

to love is to let go

You said, because of all of the pain they've caused. Love doesn't hurt. It feels good.

People talk about how great love is, but that's bull****. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing.

i forget who wrote that originally

actually i remember now it was jenna b

many people go thru the same thing

It is the pain they've caused without realizing it. Just being away from them. Not getting the right answers. Complicated stuff like that. But I do understand what you're saying.

Sounds like a total loser (the person you are speaking of, not you )
is hard
But letting it go is easy

Tru dat!

Yeah, I have a friend that tells me, "Emotions are a sign of weakness." I am starting to believe him. Love does hurt, and I've never been one to talk about how great it is.

Okay, pain caused by being away from each other is not the same thing as pain caused by not getting the right answers. I'm sure it is all complicated, it usually is. Just remember this. Yes, there are happy endings and yes it does take a leap of faith. But don't sell yourself short. If something doesn't feel right to you, question it. Listen to yourself. If someone isn't treating you the way you need in a relationship, I'm sure there is someone out there who would. Parting may be hard, but isn't it better than staying where things aren't quite right? Good luck to you.

It's fair to say he probably is a loser... but a very cute one at that! Lol. Letting go will be easy, but just not anytime in the near future.

Love is kind of like a fire, the beginning is nice and slow...leading up to the beauty of fully ingulfed...and to close you burn yourself.

But aren't they all cute losers? Well, some of them anyway, not all(shudder) ...Yes, making the adjustment will be difficult,until you learn that you are better off without them

...LOVE HURTS---NAZARETH...

This is true!

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable

I have found it easier to let go of the uglier ones! Lol. I already know I'm better off without him, but the memories still linger in my mind...and because of that, I feel like I'll never really be without him! It's a lose-lose situation. But I suppose someday I'll think differently. A prince charming will have to sweep me off my feet! Haha.

there is very little difference between love/hate, winning/losing...feeling is much the same

we leave a bit of heart in everyone we touch, and with some, it's a bigger piece that with others, and when a person is abusive with that, one has to change the pattern or energy to another direction, and rethink what direction they want it to take. this method, along with positive affirmations and thoughts will break chains of damaging, recontinuing heart-ache with the same "type" of guy if well thought out, and applied correctly. the pain of one's comfort zone to most is generally not as painful as being alone for most apparently, so they get stuck settling with what they can get, and are comfortable with someone they aren't compatible with, but justify that a few things are good (not many) and try to make those over-ride what they know is wrong, and stay......
