Love

[happy]

Ain't it grand when you've found that special someone. At first you're too sceptical to believe that this is it, but then everything just gets better and better with each passing day.

Love is the best thing in the world

[ghettogirl]

Thats all very nice but its not always hearts and flowers is it? It can in fact be soul destroying beyond the realms of all human comprehension. Our trusted friend Shakespeare had it about right...Romeo and Juliet come to mind.

[Wong]

Love, from my experience of it, really messes people up. Still, good luck to you.

Love is a funny thing. It's not chocolate boxes and roses like in the classic movies.

Not even like Casablanca.

It's more of a need and a dependency...

[hr]'I said I'd enjoyed talking to them a lot, too. I meant it, too. I'd have enjoyed it even more though, I think, if I hadn't been sort of afraid, the whole time I was talking to them, that they'd all of a sudden try to find out if I was a Catholic.'

[underworlddreams]

Love is the best feeling in the world, and the worst. Right now, I'm at the latter half of the scale. And it all comes down to whether your object of affections reciprocates or not...

[hr]We are angels with but one wing, and to fly we must embrace each other

[Marco Biagi]

And sometimes it's both ends of the spectrum simultaneously. My emotional life is so disoriented at the moment that I could fall over if I was lying on the floor.

Love. Enjoy it while it lasts.


Ahh, the voice of young cynicism...

And it all comes down to whether your object of affections reciprocates or not...

Absolutely. But I don't really think its a race, or anything to be bitter about.

[Curiosity Killed the Cat]

Love can be great but it's when you break up and you get hurt that it can all go bad. Learning to open up to someone and trust someone you love can bbe very difficult when all others have proved that they'd use it against you.
I'm sorry, I just realised how hugely pessimistic it all sounded.
Don't lets even get on to the topic of unrequinted love as that is just horrible, sould destroying and messy (especially if they're a good friend)

[EviLTwiN]

love is something that you're sure won't ever work when not in it, and something that is the best thing in the world when you are. I don't think it is possible for anyone here to have an objective view.

I was in love, and it was amazing, now it's over and it felt like crap for a while, and now i think i'm falling again, only this time its unlikely they'll ever know due to circumstance. So why bother? The pain is necessary if you want to enjoy being in love at certain points of you life. If you didn't experience both life would be pretty boring.

Being single but like/wanting someone is actually a great feeling, but the only time you can appreciate that is looking back in the future when you'rewith someone. While you're single the fear of not getting them/rejection/being single means that you can't really enjoy it so much. At the moment i feel like i just want to sleep for 6 months, i feel unhappy at the situation before me, but as long as there is a tiny bit of hope, no matterhow small, I'll hold on to that, and enjoy the uncertainty. When you do find someone (as you will eventually) you'll miss the feeling you get when you see/talk to the person you secretly like.
It's extremely hard to believe this when you're so unhappy due to relationships/love, but it's true.

When you're 55 and old and past it a bit you'll wish you were this age again, you'll want to feel this miserable... because its not miserable, it's just all part of life. The pain of love/relationships is what makes love so special, and it makes life worth living.

So come on, lets get some depression you wusses!!!

I'm not sure what this has to do with the thread, other than i came to this conclusion recently, and thought id share it.
