...It hurts to love someone when you can’t tell them what you really feel… Cause sometimes we get hurt without them knowing… We get jealous without the right to feel that way… We want their time without the position to demand for it… Till our heart is breaking in silence... but despite of it, we continue to love because somehow in this hurtful love, there’s still the hope of having simple moments with them… even it will end up as, FRIENDS… “It’s amazing how someone can break your heart and you can still love them with all the little pieces...” Why am I afraid to lose you when you’re not even mine? “People think it’s holding on that makes you stronger, but sometimes it’s letting go…” The hardest part of loving someone is unknowing when to let go and unknowing when to say goodbye…” Should I hate you because you hurt me? Or should I love you because you made me feel special? The most painful thing is seeing the one you love… Loving somebody else…” “I wish I had the guts to walk away and forget about what we had. But, I can’t because I know you won’t come after me, and I guess that’s what hurts the most…” If I could be anyone at this moment, I’d be her so you’d love me too…” “I hate to see the one I love happy with somebody, but I surely hate it more to see the one I love unhappy with me…” “I can’t make you love me, want me, or understand me… All I can do is hope that someday you will…” “Crying doesn’t solve problems, but it’s easier than trying…” Why did I have to fall for you when...

...IN LOVE BY: ANONYMOUS When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go! You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if his or her happiness means that you're not part of it. Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you back, don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try. You'll never truly love a person you love unless you RISK FOR LOVE. Love strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love. Love doesn't hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you and to help you grow. Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall. You just fall. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages. Love is not destroyed by a single failure nor won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, relearning, discovering, rediscovering, and growing. The greatest irony of love is LETTING GO WHEN YOU WANT TO HOLD ON and HOLDING ON WHEN YOU NEED TO LET GO. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves...

...notreally matter which one because they are all forms of love. Some are powerful and demand attention while others are more subtle and just below the surface. In recent years, love has drifted from these subtle levels to the more noticeable ones, namely passion. In my opinion, our society downplays the real necessity for genuine affection. By this I mean that we, as a society, spend so much time focusing on only one level of love (passion) that we tend to neglect and not recognize the need for closeness and trust (friendship). Love is an all-encompassing emotion that can be powerful and demanding, but also rewarding and pleasurable. What is the one emotion that has everyone mystified? What is the one emotion that has started as many wars as it has ended? What emotion has had more plays, songs, and stories written about it than anything else? Love, that one emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. *-(* George Sand *)*- Love is the greatest gift we can ever hope to give or receive. Love is the one thing that can overcome so many of the difficult times that we are faced with in life. Love is so powerful - it can turn frowns into smiles. It can help mend the most broken heart. It can even turn all of the ugliness in the world into the most beautiful portrait we could ever have...

...“Love” will be surely existent in our senses as the time get closer to Feb. 14, a day when passion is deeply associated with the heart. But my curiosity does not seem to be satisfied and it keeps me formulating various questions like; is it really true that the heart is the mastermind of love? What about the brain, is it also involved? Everybody hears the cliché when someone gets dumped; "My heart hurts". But does it actually hurt? And if it does, is it because they were in love? All reactions in the body start from the brain, right? Then the final question is; what should we use then in the name of love, our HEART or the BRAIN? The purpose of this article of mine is to put an end to this mystery and bring out the facts. I am assured that many young people like me are enthusiastically interested regarding this topic. Researching data of co notational definitions, BRAIN is the king of every living animal, and HEART is the genuine source of emotions. These two vital organs do really have a linking nexus. However, when it comes to love, it’s even more difficult to decipher what is really the actual function of these internal parts. So, can we say that brain is the starting point of love? And we feel the love through the heart, is that it? Let’s find out. According to an analysis by a Syracuse professor, it depends. That might be a very broad answer but based on her findings, she assimilated that you experience a similar sensation to one of using cocaine when you fall in love...

...(Delivered at Los Angeles, California, January 4, 1900) One of the greatest lessons I have learnt in my life is to pay as much attention to the means of work as to its end. He was a great man from whom I learnt it, and his own life was a practical demonstration of this great principle I have been always learning great lessons from that one principle, and it appears to me that all the secret of success is there; to pay as much attention to the means as to the end. Our great defect in life is that we are so much drawn to the ideal, the goal is so much more enchanting, so much more alluring, so much bigger in our mental horizon, that we lose sight of the details altogether. But whenever failure comes, if we analyse it critically, in ninety-nine per cent of cases we shall find that it was because we did not pay attention to the means. Proper attention to the finishing, strengthening, of the means is what we need. With the means all right, the end must come. We forget that it is the cause that produces the effect; the effect cannot come by itself; and unless the causes are exact, proper, and powerful, the effect will not be produced. Once the ideal is chosen and the means determined, we may almost let go the ideal, because we are sure it will be there, when the means are perfected. When the cause is there, there is no more difficulty about the effect, the effect is bound to come. If we take care of the cause, the effect will take care of itself...

...Many won't ever know the struggle we have been through to be together and up to today. I honestly won't ever know why I decided to hold on this relationship due to the tremendously dark periods we went through. Few would say some part of me knew we were meant to be and others that I was plain stupid from taking so much nonsense from people. What many don't know is that behind all those rumors and everything bad, we been living the most pure and sincere love that in my opinion could ever exist. Every once in while we get asked questions about the past. I really don't mind answering because why deny it, if eventually the truth comes out. However, there's been many occasions where people "misinterpreted" my explanation and tell others and unwanted drama starts again. Whenever my parents hear false statements being said yeah, they give me the "the talk", "why the heck are you holding on? What are gaining out of it? Is this really worth it?" Yes it gets to me but when he tells me what he has heard, it tears me down miserably. Doubts and insecurities drain on me harshly. What if one day he can't take it anymore nonsense and decides it has no future? What if it's me? After so much why now? Although I don't say it to him personally, he gives me and our relationship more strength to keep moving on even though he's hurt by the comments. Despite all that, Ivan I just want you to know and the whole world how proud I am to be with such an amazing man. Thanks for being my light in the darkness...

...Nothing can come close to the love that a mother feels for her children. Most women are inherently excellent mothers. Women carry their young before they are born and then continue to nurture them throughout their childhood and even into adulthood. Mothers make sure that their children are safe and happy throughout their childhood. It is the unconditional love that a mother feels that drives these feelings. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mother has towards her children. In fact, most people do not understand unless they become a mother themselves. Raising children comes with its own share of frustrations, from the needy new born baby that requires regular care to the sullen teenager, a mother's job is anything but easy. A famous saying states that "God could not be everywhere and so he invented mothers", these words are a great inspiration to mothers across the world. When all is well, a mother puts her children before anything else, including their own comfort and happiness. Mothers give an awful lot of support to their children, whether it involves very visible support or simple background encouragement. Not only do mothers support their children, but they also often hold the whole family structure together. This role is not always plain sailing. A mother can also be upset or hurt. Remember that a mother often takes the fallout for the toddler tantrums and the teenage angst. Despite this, mothers, generally, will love their children no matter what they do. ...

Are we not like two volumes of one book? My best friend is the someone who brings out the best of me.

I’m ready!” 0102. I miss you not because you miss me but because you taught me how to feel the emptiness when you’re not here. I love you not because you love me but because you taught me everything I never knew existed before. 0103. When you leave, remember the place where you left me cause I’ll still be there waiting for you. But if you go back and I’m no longer there, it means that I love you too much so I went to search for you. 0104. It’s a risk having you cause it’s like stealing an angel from heaven. If I’d be punished for that, I’d rather accept it than give you back cause I know that I’d never have another you in my life again. 0105.

...to give myself a chance to love once again. Instead, I decided to take the chance to write this letter for you. Let me start this by admitting to you that your love was remarkably one of the most wonderful experiences in my life, there’s no way I can put into words the love I felt from you and what I might also be still feeling from you until now. I looked over the pain that caused us, the mistakes made, because you were never the kind of person who keeps ill-feelings for others, but I am your exact opposite. I find it hard to forgive and forget. All this time, I’ve been holding onto the idea, that after getting over all this trouble, we are finally meant to be together. I would always remember the lines I’ve read from one of Paulo Coelho’s book, stating a quote from I Ching: “It says that a city can be moved but not a well. It’s around the well that lovers find each other, satisfy their thirst, build homes, and raise their children. But if one of them decides to leave, the well cannot go with them. Love remains there, abandoned – even though it is filled with the same pure water as before.” I knew you’ll always be a part of what I have made myself as of this time. I poured my happiness and dreams with you. You were supposed to be a part of my future, but it was all shattered with that revelation from your ex-girlfriend that you got a child with her a year before we met. I now understand why the vast majority doesn’t believe in a fairy tale love story, but I refuse to accept...

...Forgiveness is being able to let go of the pain or harm done. Sometimes we feel like we cannot forgive without the other person feeling the pain he or she has caused us. But forgiveness lies within us, not in the actions or attitudes of others. I am the type of person who has a hard time forgiving people who have caused me pain. Everyone has this nature of forgiving others but in my part, it is really hard and it takes so much time to heal. Getting hurt is normal. All of us experience pain and it cause our lives to change. I have been hurt so many times before that caused me to change. I feel bitter whenever I remember what that person did to me. What hurts the most is knowing that the one you really love hurt you. I thought that if you really love a person, you would never do something just to hurt you. I guess that the one you don't expect to hurt you will actually hurt you. It's been a month since I got out from a very long relationship and until now, flashbacks come to my head that drives me crazy. That's why it is hard for me to forgive a person because I blame him for the pain that he left me and makes my life miserable. I cannot believe that he could actually cheat on me. But then as time pass by, I come to realize that whatever pain I experience now, I can only forget about it if I learn how to forgive....

...from a short and simple message of love to a lengthy explanation of feelings. Letters may move through the widest range of emotions - devotion, disappointment, grief and indignation, self-confidence, ambition, impatience and resignation. It is personal and that means of, affecting, or belonging to a particular person rather than to anyone else. Why? If this letter is personal then why do I have to broadcast this letter that is meant to you? I am just a lady who mockingly says to everyone that I don’t want to break promises. Also, as much as I could, I want to stand up for what I have said and what I believe in. Sadly, I do not do that as much. I am a lady who knows how to figure out problems in the world beside mine and that’s ironic. It has been a roller coaster year and I hope you will forgive me for being too indecisive. I opened myself up to love. To love a person who reflects me, who exhibited the ideal man criterion every woman craved for when they were young but I ended up being taken for granted and I was hurt badly. From then on, I closed myself up again. I protected myself because I refuse to be hurt again even if it means I have to be the one doing the hurting. I became the most selfish person. I have been entering and leaving the room just like I’m jumping up and down. It is fast but you know what? It is tiring too. We are like a car on travel. We move forward and then reach a certain point then we would stop the engine. We will start it again. Afterwards, I’ll...
