be strong…

They say that only time can heal the wounds of a broken heart. That “time” makes it easier to accept the loss of the people we love. It is a chain that all of us go through - falling in love, getting hurt, getting hurt and vowing not to love again, promising not to love again,  and becoming miserable all our lives. It isn’t easy getting on our feet after a crippling fall. But there is just no other way, but to stand up and move on, no body wants to become unhappy all his/her life.

All of us know how love can bring magic into our lives. Have you ever realized how good it felt waking up in the morning knowing that somewhere out there, there is a person also thinking of you? And feels exactly the way you do? Doesn’t it feel good, looking forward to being with that person and spending memorable moments with him/her?  Love brings joy beyond compare and that warm and sparkling glow in each of us; love brings us to the top of the world where we can conquer just about any obstacle that may come along our way.

It is a great feeling love is. There is probably nothing else in this world that can compare to this. There may be many of us who feel that love has passed us by and finding someone we can share our lives with seems to be such a remote possibility. We watched rains go by as time swiftly drifts away from us. We may be in control of our lives but we feel somewhat helpless in our relationships. There is nothing permanent in this world, and not even those we cherished would be with us forever. There is no guarantee that comes with loving, it is always a risk getting involved with someone, but it is a risk that we have to take if we want to find real happiness, for there is no gain without pain; there is no permanence without commitment; and there is no lasting love without constant sacrifice.

The tragedy of love isn’t getting hurt; the tragedy of getting hurt is in not wanting to love again; and the tragedy of not wanting to love again isn’t being alone… all of our life. If it is what we wanted to be, then we can could just stay in our shell and be miserably forgotten; but If it is love we choose, then there is the promise of a new life, the joy in being able to share that life with someone and the hope of finding something beautiful and keeping it forever.

  1. The best kind of friend is the one you can sit on a porch with, never saying a word and then walk away, feeling like that was the best conversation you’ve had.

    Someone who makes you smile, because only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.

    Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. For only they can appreciate the importance of the people who have touched their lives.

    Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion and the romance… and you find out you still care for that person.

    Love comes to those who still hope even though they’ve been disappointed, those who still believe, even though they have been betrayed and those who still love even though they’ve been hurt before.

    Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people, before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift.

    It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. But, what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

    The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past … you can’t go on in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

(there are those who continuously make your life miserable like its their calling or something)

And feels exactly the way you do? (that’s not an assurance, .its an assumption on your part)Doesn’t it feel good, looking forward to being with that person and spending memorable moments with him/her? Love brings joy beyond compare and that warm and sparkling glow in each of us; love brings us to the top of the world where we can conquer just about any obstacle that may come along our way. (hype, mania, just pure addiction to an assumption of mutual affection)
    It is a great feeling love is. (Master Yoda!)There is probably nothing else in this world that can compare to this. There may be many of us who feel that love has passed us by and finding someone we can share our lives with seems to be such a remote possibility (just being safe; lots of dogs & bitches out there). We watched rains go by as time swiftly drifts away from us. We may be in control of our lives but we feel somewhat helpless in our relationships (couldn’t have said it better myself). There is nothing permanent in this world (the only constant thing is change), and not even those we cherished would be with us forever. There is no guarantee that comes with loving, it is always a risk getting involved with someone, but it is a risk that we have to take if we want to find real happiness, for there is no gain without pain; there is no permanence without commitment (ouch! that part stings!); and there is no lasting love without constant sacrifice (double ouch!).
    The tragedy of love isn’t getting hurt; the tragedy of getting hurt is in not wanting to love again; and the tragedy of not wanting to love again isn’t being alone… all of our life. If it is what we wanted to be, then we can could just stay in our shell and be miserably forgotten (yeah, but how does one begin if you’re already broken?); but If it is love we choose, then there is the promise of a new life, the joy in being able to share that life with someone and the hope of finding something beautiful and keeping it forever.
