I think it's a piece of crap. It made me the happiest mother-fuker in the world. Then it tore me apart and I haven't felt the same ever since. I've been desensitized completely and it's hard to feel everyday emotions. I've become void of feeling anything that actually means anything. That doesn't even make sense. Point is, it leaves as empty as you'll ever feel once it's gone. It's hard to explain what it feels like. I thought it would last forever; but it didn't. I don't know if I'll ever feel it again. They say that it is better to have loved and lost than to never love at all, but I don't understand how that makes any sense if in the end you feel miserable and cold and numb. Hope that helps you. =)


i couldnt agree more lol

Not quite sure, what exactly is meant by "love", as it is quite an ambiguous word, I think. Maybe everyone's love is different. To me my only true love, came and went, as do most of life's good things. My shyness and severe OCD, made sure I would never ever tell her how I felt about her. The funny thing is I think she liked me backed, or so I assume. I could never find out for sure, coz I was so terrified of talking to her. We did not study the same thing, so I could only catch a glimpse of her, every once in a while. Sometimes I would drag myself to Uni, just in the hope of seeing her, even if it was just a glimpse. Is that love? Maybe to some, probably not for most. But my feelings did go deeper than that, so I suppose you could say it was love. She smiled at me once, and I will never forget that moment. I think if she did at all like me, it probably was the fact that my shyness and insecurity did not make me less of a person to her, but it may have been the very thing which made her notice me in the first place. I guess I'll never know though.:🙁:

What year are you in? If this is high school I think you will be all right. Very small chance of a mature relationship in those years.

College, different story.

Yeah, I'm a sophomore. I'm so happy that I'm not a freshman anymore lol:D!

Love is a lesson. It has its beginnings and ends.

My rule of thumb: Love at first sight is true love - love at second sight isn't.

True love is a hell of a lot more painful, though.

I think love is called "let's make a deal". It's all about setting up boundaries and speaking up for what you want and what you won't tolerate. Give and take is also pretty important. Personally, instant chemistry/attraction is a big red flag. True feelings and care come from knowing someone over a long period of time. And for most people it takes years to learn what you want and need from a relationship.

Any pain and suffering endured because of love is worth it. Well maybe not if they leave you....then did they really love you in the first place? I'm thinking more like death, hurtful things they may say, etc.

I think that I can live without it and I agree with OP, love makes you weak and dependable, also it takes up lots of time. So meh... I'm fine alone.

Sir,or madam, I've a clear understanding of love as of my pondering.I recognise love as the want and beleif that whoever your in love with would make a suitable mother/father.I've also catorgorized lust.It is the beleif and or want that YOU are the suitable mother/father.Dying for what you love is never worth it no matter what.Love is a god given right.

Madam, or Emily is fine.

I'm not sure what you are saying though. Do you mean a mother/father to you, or a good mother/father to any children you may have?

I believing dying for something you love is worth it.

Dear sir/madam 😀 love is not about picking a partner because you believe them to be a suitable father/mother well not in my case anyway, i do not have children and i wouldn't plan on having them either as i do not believe that i would be good enough mother having SA and my husband has is own mental problems that would mean he would not be able to be a good enough father so we have chosen not to have children together.
A lot of couples decide not to have children so your pondering is not always correct.😀

A quote from Bette Midler's song The Rose, sums it up perfectly for me. "....you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong".
