Bitter Luck

Sun Jun 22, 2008, 1:50 PM
So I've been fortunate enough to love in my life and I've learned some things

1.) Love is fickle. It doesn't always turn out the way you want it to...in fact it never does. Not that this is a bad thing, because if it did, then there would be no adventure.

2.) Love is wonderful. It truly is, even taking #1 into consideration, there is no greater joy in this world than love. No drug gets you higher, no wine tastes sweeter and nothing can make you feel better.

3.) Love is terrible. I realize this is in contradiction with #2, but if you take #1 and #2 together you can see the potential. If it fills you with joy and then turns out differently than you planned then what happens to the joy you felt?

4.) Love is worth it. Even with all of the above each one of us strives for love in our everyday lives. It very well might be true that "All you need is love."

Like I said, I've been fortunate enough to love in my life. In fact, I've had the incredible fortune to love more than once. I have lived all four of my examples, and while I believe deeply that all four of them are true, I'm sure its different for everyone. I have felt so wonderful because I was in love that I believed there was nothing the world could throw at me that I couldn't face. I have felt so terrible because love was ripped away from me that I wanted to crawl under a rock and die. In spite of all that, however, I have decided that love is still worth it. I hope to find it again one day. I've decided its worth the risk. Also, I've lived through it each time love has been lost...so its not like its going to kill me to keep seeking it, right? Right? ;-)

P.S. For some reason, I can't change the mood below...it shows sadness which isn't right...more like...hopeful.

Hi, how are you? I haven't heard from you in a while.
