revealed…

Think about this… You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

1. At least 2 people in this world LOVE you so much they would DiE for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A SMiLE from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special & unique.

9. Someone that you don’t even know exists, loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it, but if you BELiEVE in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. FORGET about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a GREAT FRiEND, take the time to let them know that they are great.

what is life without love?….empty…meaningless. it is true that love makes the world go ’round. life is pointless without love. no one ever goes through life without ever experiencing love. there are an infinite number of ways to show and feel love.

but no matter how true and pure love is, why does it always entail pain?

the greatest feeling in the world is love…but it is also capable of giving you the worst feeling ever. the happiest moments of our lives are always moments of great, deep and true love…wedding’s, child-birth, etc. but the most painful moments are always connected to love as well…death, separation, betrayal, etc. therefore, we can say that with love always comes pain…and also, there cannot be pain if there is not love first.

this sometimes makes me think that i’d rather not love…because loving would mean experiencing pain. when we love, we feel great happiness…bliss. but, at the same time, we also experience pain. because we cannot feel any hurt from someone we do not love. and at the same time, we can only get happiness from someone we truly love.

so what are we to do? live life according to the phrases:
- “it is better to have loved & lost than to not have loved at all”
- “u can never know the sweet until u taste the sour”
- “suck in the experience, if it hurts, then it’s probably worth it”
or save ourselves & simply not love at all?

personally, i think love is worth all the pain, hurt & s*#t. we live but once…to hell with getting hurt! to hell with the pain & hurt! it’s all worth it! it is those bittersweet moments and moments of bliss that make life worth living…so don’t be afraid, dont hold back, take the plunge!

IF U HAVEN’T LOVED, U HAVEN’T LIVED AT ALL…

What hurts…???
:: letting go of a person u’ve just learned to love

:: reminiscing the good times u shared together

:: shielding ur heart to love somebody

:: trying to hide what u really feel

:: trying to hide the tears that involuntarily fall from ur eyes

:: loving a person too much

:: giving up someone u never thought of giving up

:: having the right love at the wrong time

:: taking the risk to fall in love again

:: hiding ur relationship from someone else

:: controlling ur feelings to avoid hurting a friend

:: thinking of him every waking and sleeping moment knowing all the while that he never even thinks
single thought of you…

:: letting go, because everytime you see the person, you only fall deeper

:: holding back only to find out when it’s too late, you both felt the same way, but were only scared to lose each other so much that you didn’t let the feelings out

:: falling inlove with someone you didnt mean to fall inlove with

:: finding the perfect man…with only one prob….he doesnt love you…

:: helping the one you love court your friend

:: seeing the one you love crying for someone else

:: the waiting also hurts like hell

:: having to hear “… I’ve met someone”

:: agreeing to his wish to ‘just be friends’.

:: asking his freedom back bcoz ‘he’d be happier with her’

:: asking u to ‘forget that everything happened’and be ‘normal’ friends again.

:: hearing that u’re treated as a little sister.

:: sharing his future plans for the girl with you.

:: u stopped being friends bcoz her bf/gf asked her/him to.

:: being denied in front of people.

:: telling u lies where he’d been when actually, he was with a ‘new friend’ or an ‘old flame’!

:: she told u she’d be leaving u to return to her ex (d one she left 4 u!)

:: breaking someone’s heart

:: fighting for that one thing that would make you  happy

:: that is, holding on to a person who can not guarantee you his/her commitment unless he/she fixed
himself/herself…then, you are left hanging for the moment…then he/she says, time will tell…but you still decided to hope in him/her and trust him/her

:: PRETENDING you’re OK when inside you’re dying…

:: PRETENDING to be strong…. and RECOGNIZING your weakness

:: lying in bed each night, thinking of that special person you can never have…

:: being with someone you can’t actually love…

:: pretending you don’t love a person whom you actually love…

:: being in love…

:: letting go even if you really don’t want to…  having no right to say you are hurting, because it was your decision

:: seeing the person you love hurt because of you… and not being able to help that person…

:: having the courage to say I LOVE YOU to the person you love and finding out afterwards that things will
never be the same again when he/she doesnt treat you with the same closeness as before

:: having to face the fact that someone is capable of completely destroying the wall that you have set for
yourself, leaving you weak and vulnerable

:: admitting that you love someone despite her/his imperfections

:: finding out that the more you try to hate her/him, the more you end up loving her/him,
perhaps even more than before…

:: realizing how stupid your mistakes were that led to your break-up.

:: the thought that this girl/guy, used to really love you and you loved her/him as well but you didn’t
give enough and she/he gave up on you

:: Sharing the one you love with SOMEBODY else…..”

:: making a promise….and realizing that when the time has come for that promise to be
delivered….the commitment is no longer there…

:: the hardest thing about love - believing it exists.

     After you’ve been hurt…
…learn to forgive
…learn to trust and love again
