Love and hurt exist side by side. You can fall in love with someone, one minute, and the next hour, you loathe the person. Not necessarily because the person changed, but because you have seen an aspect of them which you never knew, but somehow came out to the surface to play. Haha.
We always feel we know everything about someone until the situation happens and we sit down to rethink about our choices. There is indeed a thin line between love and hate. (Can anyone remember these movies? “Thin line between love and hate” and also "Love and Basketball”).
My friend has been dating this lady for three years, and now things took a different turn of event, as she doesn’t want anything to do with him again. She said the day she was sick, this my friend slept off. To her, she needed that extra bit of attention and love. But the guy, after boiling water for her, making a meal for her, and helping her out with the drugs, he waited in the room for her to complete her bath. But then fell asleep, seeing that he got home around 10 pm, and was already exhausted.
She wanted more and she felt the guy could give more. He wanted someone who forgives easily and who will also be understanding in moments like these. And yes, they both have the right to desire what they want.
I might not agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
You said I could be your answer, but nothing lasts forever, no matter how it feels today.
Now, she pulled the plug and the guy felt it was uncalled for. After making efforts to get her back, he gave up because she said some strong, strange words.
Love can sometimes be chaos, and it can come as peace. Love and hate exist sideways, and what you see depends on what you feed. Whatever aspect of it you feed determines which aspects sprout. There is some love that requires you to tread carefully and walk on eggshells, but would you really call that love?
We need to understand that, we never really know how much we love someone until we have seen an aspect of them, which we haven’t seen before. If you stay with them, then you really know how much you love them.
Because you speak Latin doesn’t mean you know how to speak, and because you took a vow doesn’t mean you know how to love.
When it comes to the matter of the heart, we need to pre-forgive our partner. Most of the time we focus on the wrong they did, and completely ignore all the good they have done. Love should be understanding.
There was a joke going around that time that says, the best relationship is between a deaf man and a blind wife. To some extent it is true, the man has to ignore all the negativities and the wife should overlook the excesses. No one is perfect.
Love is not what makes the world go round, it is what makes the journey worthwhile. We should ask ourselves if we are making it easier for our other half.
I love love, I love being in love, I don’t care what it does to me. The dose of heartache is still love. Be gentle with your love.
Let me end it with a joke that says: “If love is the answer, can you please repeat the question?”
I know most people have given up on love due to the hurt they have experienced, but then, let love find you. All you need to do is, try again, and again, and again. I have loved and lost, but then, I still want to. I admit it is a personal choice and this isn’t to force your hand. I am only hoping it helps a little.
Thank you for your time.
