Why do we do this to ourselves ? (25)

Leo...You have always been an optimist, I don't se why that would change when it comes to relationships. Any woman should be proud to be with a man such as yourself. You've never been one to mince words and you have always been a caring person. Don't start doubting yourself now, you're wonderful just the way you are.

I think because to have love, you have to take a chance, otherwise you are just alone always and all the time. As the cliche goes: it's better to have loved and lost.....I hate cliches, but there is usually a lot of truth in them.

Doubting yourself and taking a drink of sweet water when parched, are two different things.

I guess at the end of the day its all about taking chances
If we learn how to handle the failures as well as the success we can defuse the fear somewhat 
Just keep jumping in Paws

I think I've finally learned my lesson, this time!! But it wasn't about intimacy, at first, it was about trying to be a friend, that led to more. Now I see it was all a sham!!

Oh I so know what you mean. I was dumped this morning after 6 months of nice times and what I thought was a decent relationship!
Guess we should all become monks!

We never seem to learn...we sometimes may as well tear our own heart out...stamp on it...throw on some gasoline and throw in a match...it would be easier...
I wish I was made of stone at times...

they say it makes us stronger...but does it really???
I sometimes wonder...or does it just take piece by piece of us until there is nothing left...most of us have heaps of scar tissue and wounds to heal...it seems Iraq is not the only battle field.

maybe start seing with your eyes and not with your heart or illusion? No matter how it hurts...it's a better way of learning how to deal with pain. As soon as we let the pain hit our faces as better we are trained to less suffering. denying hard feelings will always turn as into week people. If we know the feeling, we recognise it better and we know how to react against it...it's just like how we feel about a flue...we know what to do to lesser the pain or we don't think we are going to die because we know the cure...
You should start doing a research, the thesis about yourself! By your age, it should hurt less because of all the alternative medicine you were suppose to have taken...will you try some available?

I don't think it does make us stronger , maybe it depends on the history I sometimes wonder...or does it just take piece by piece of us until there is nothing left...most of us have heaps of scar tissue and wounds to heal...it seems Iraq is not the only battle field.
