Better To Have Loved And Lost?
I guess a lot of people will differ from me on this but I think it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.
Okay, you’re sitting with a broken heart. That is not the end of the world. The human heart is very resilient. It will heal. How fast will only depend on how quickly you will snap out of your misery to get back into circulation; to start living again
The other casualty is your ego. You may feel rejected, unwanted, unworthy and maybe even guilty, but your ego too will restore itself. The heart won’t heal while the ego is hurt.
Think about it this way. The only thing you lost was a lover who may not have been worthy of your love in the first place. But in the process you have loved and you had a lot of fun. And most importantly, you have learned. Every time you will come out a little stronger and a bit wiser. You will cope better next time.
And just for good measure; if the break-up came to you as a surprise, you have been snoozing for there are always telltales. Love with your one eye open
Relax, it is Friday.

How long for this time?
I agree with all the above. We always come out stronger at the end of a relationship as long as we forgive ...let go...and move on.
Life is all about learning lessons and...love.
"Every time you will come out a little stronger and a bit wiser." This much is true...
That's why I've pretty much given up in that department.
As for your topic... pfffft
Wonderful to see you again!!
I've been back for a few days already. I have nothing scheduled until next year, so I should be around for a few months. That is if my daughter don't drag me off again.
Yes, that is the cue. Forgive!! You cannot get on with your life while bearing grudges. It will just make you bitter and hard and that is conducive to more unhappiness. Life is too short to waste somebody who does not want you.
You don't like the topic?
Don't deal yourself short. We're not made to be alone... but keep one eye open.
...but like Di, I'm hesitant to give love another shot.
I'm content enough on my own.
You had me laughing for about this for about half a minute. Actually, I'm still giggling.
But I get your point.
One of these days some fella will come around and knock your feet right out under you. Then, if he also proves to be Mr Wrong the whole process starts all over again. That's life.
You know what works for me?
I break of the affair at the first sign off cracks. Nip the problem in its bud before anyone can get too attached and that way we can remain friends.
Sometimes we tend to hang on too long and that is when the wine turns into vinegar.
Violets are blue only because 'purple' does not rhyme with 'you'.
The song would have sounded funny if it continued with
Sugar is sweet, my love
but not as sweet as turtle.
He'd have to be something pretty spectacular to turn me round.
I'm not saying it's impossible....more improbable....
Here's the thing Cat, that, right there, is why I am anti...
I'm not an alley cat
To hell with love
ps: now I'm giggling for turtle rhyming with purple
Actually, I love that song. I still play it quite often.
What a pity I cannot do it from here. Yu may just have liked it
As long as he fits this description...
Hi Berry
Out of fashion is in demand
Hiya Dream
I love coffee, coffee loves me, its always there for me, and I for it, so will stick to coffee until ms right comes along, even then I will share love for her and coffee, its only fair.
Coffee? Lets hear how you have your coffee. Sweet, bitter, strong, weak, white, black, percolated, instant? What can coffee reveal about your personality. Of course nothing. I don't believe all that BS
Can you repeat that in more simple English terms, please. English comes to me as a second language and your comment has me at sea.
ps: mentioning instant is a big no-no
Just a friendly warning
I'm not going to make a spectacle of myself alone. Go and look through that trunk in the attic for something at least 35 years old. Then we can go to paint the town red and see how long before theywant to take us back to the asylum.
By the way, I just looked at your profile. Are you who I think you are?
I'm not questioning his relationship with his coffee. I'm just wondering what kind of coffee he drinks that he can put it up on a pedestal next to a woman.
It must be very good coffee
I am indeed
I wondered what happened to the other you. I missed you. And I have been chatting with you all the time without knowing it.
There must be something wrong with me or am I just plain desperate?
Nothing wrong with you. You cannot expect to find Mr Right first time around. You try and try and eventually you will find him - if you're not too full of nonsense.
Nobody said it was going to be easy.
But there is so much fun in searching. The quest is part of the entire adventure. Remember the happy part only happens at the end of the book.
In the end you will have it if you're patient enough.
I couldn't understand it before I had loved and lost, but now know that it is definitely better to have loved in the first place.
No need to thank me, I was just speaking my mind.
most certainly. And it applies to everything. I is better to have tried and failed than not to have tried. In failing you learned a few lessons, but there is nothing to be gained by not trying.
You're right, that is what it is but it is even better to learn by the mistakes other people made in stead of your own. Cheaper too.
No point in wasting your time with somebody you don't love. then it is just a physical thing with with no inner happiness.
