To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

very nice

I'm willing to risk for what i feel is right

If it's the right person I just might sacrifice everything.

I've sacrificed everything..and lost...yet I would do it again in a heartbeat for the right man.

I hear ya bro

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

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bull****. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
Jim Morrison

love love looks at me and laughs.. wouldnt know it hit me in the face..

been in love, just have never received it back

ditto

I've loved...and I've been loved. I've loved for a week. I've loved for years. But the all consuming love is rare. It's there..we feel it, then we shy away. Love burns. It hurts. But without the pain of true heartbreak, how can we measure the intense pleasure of true love?

I've got to add my opinion...

I read throughout the posts about this and that.. hmmm

One thing that has stood out not sure why, but it has.

SACRIFICE.. hmmm I believe things should never feel like a sacrifice. If you truly love/care about someone there isn't such a thing as a "sacrifice". We all change and adapt to our lives daily and if we have taken a step to spend our lives with someone we adjust our lives happily. (I would hope) jeez..........

Leo, you're indeed a walking proverb

Point to remember for relationships.


Never treat someone as a "priority" that isnt even an option!!

Never treat someone as a "option" that should be a "priority!!
