*blinks* Honestly, I have more than any sane person should. *sweatdrop* So...I figured I'd post a few here! Yay! blaugh
"Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so 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 don't ask for it. They do 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 a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" 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 body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." ~ Rose Walker
Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Why love if losing hurts so much? We love to know that we are not alone. ~ C.S. Lewis
I love humanity but I hate people. ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay
To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him. ~ Goethe
On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved. ~ Isha McKenzie-Mavinga
'Tis enough for now, methinks. *nods*
