Taking a long break ... ( Archived) (6)

I've enjoyed the experience of being on CS but I guess that for now I won't even try to send a message or a flower to anyone. There were good and bad times in my life but right now I need to do a little bit of soul searching.

I guess Lord Tennyson knew what he was saying that it was better to have loved and lost than never loved (my paraphrase). I'll still be here and there of course but there is invariably pain in rejection and denying that love must include that would be fooling myself.

Sorry for the gloomy post.

Well i see what you mean. Yes, loving often includes fooling oneself, taking the risk of being broken hearted (God knows it hurts bad, and we never get used to those things). Then sometimes we say"never again"...
I was broken hearted (once more),a couple of months ago. I'm still hurt. Now,I'm taking some time for myself, and try to get over it. Of course, it's hard.
I've started to feel better. Time is very good remedy. I think i will love again, one of these days... We are hurt when we love, but we are even more sad when we don't. May be pain is a normal part of life.
And remember this: loving includes good and bad things. But being lonely has nothing nice.

You might need to be lonely for a while, between 2 relationships, but it's not good to stay that way forever. Don't hesitate to take the risk when the other is worth it

Good luck

smooth sailing

Good post...
