THAT THING CALLED LOVE

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 are not your own. 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. Love sucks...

  2. Aw, love can definitely hurt tons, but it can also be amazing, when you find the right person! I am a firm believer that there's a "right person" for everyone, and that they find each other when the time is right! =)

  3. BTW - Google keeps giving me errors so that I can't leave you comments, saying it "could not verify my OpenID credentials," (like 15+ times over the last two days I have tried!) even though I have logged in on places and everything, and my myopenid.com account was even displaying that Blogger was verifying it! Grr!! You should write on WordPress instead! heh.
