Love in Life

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. -Neil Gaiman

But becoz of all this, we love LOVE don't we? It gives you that butterfly in the stomach, and the I care for you and I love you and I want to do everything for you...

Some ppl deserves the love you shower them. Others don't. Those who deserves, despite having them come into your heart and messing them up...it's worth it. Friends might say you are stupid...but at times, only you and you alone knows it's worth it.

Have you had this feeling? Terrible huh...But I once read in Tuesdays with Morrie. If you have not experience love, you have not experience life. Very true. Love is a big portion of our lifes, whether we like it or not. It's not just the love of your loved ones...as in your other half...but also the love of your parents, the love of your friends, siblings, etc.

Life's...like that...But oh well...one has to experience love. It's a bitter sweet memory. It might hurt, but it's worth it...coz that's when you have experienced life.
