Love (page 2)

I believe it is like a muscle....the more you excercise it the bigger it gets. The more you love, the larger your ability to love.

I have truly loved 3 men in my life so far. The third one's a charm they say.

I like what you had to say Evil.

I thought I was uncapeable of love for forever....Just my kids and I. I now realize I love too much and getting hurt tends to lock one up. No I don't mean co dependent. I mean love too much and expect that people can feel the same way. Kind of f$%^@%'s you up when you have all these people you truly love and then you see thenm turn your back on you in a heartbeat and that is it. I wonder if they EVER EVER think of me and if it could ever be good? I hope I at least left all of them laughing!

As far as romance...I dunno. Still dunno. I think I am pretty bad in that area. I have come to the conclusion that I do a lot of good for others with my love...but sometimes feel a bit like Linda stinkin' Rondstant..."I've been cheated.. Been Mistreated....When Will I ...I be Loved?' (corny huh?)

I have friends that have been burned by love and have shut themselves down. What an awful way to live. I have been burned SOOO badly before. But I'd do it all over again. You cannot feel the "highs" of love if you don't risk feeling the "lows" of love. It is what makes us unique as creatures. I have learned so much from the boys I have loved. I cherish each and every one of them.

I really felt I was incapable of love until I was about 25....that's when I realized I loved the person I was with. When I lost him to someone else I wasn't sure if it was a 1 time deal or if I could find love again. I risked loving again, got hurt again, but #3 came along and he I am.

I'm not bitter, I'm better..... Jack McFarland, Will & Grace

NO...It is not purposeful...It just happens and I have no clue at times when it has happened to turn it on again. I think when my heart has had enough it goes into a dead zone. I am a delicate creature...LMAO.

EvilForce

Delicate creature? I've read many of your posts if not most.... I'd say you are pretty resilient Spark :)

But there is a time and place for everything, and working on our emotional and mental faculties is an ongoing excercise. I"m sure everything is happening for a reason.

Sparkplug

Mental Facilities.....Do you have a spare helmet?

Evil... I also am flattered that someone reads them....I think I must be the biggest thread killer!!! Gives a gal a complex some days. But I find myself funny and it is all good!!

I've been lucky enough to have 1. And it lasted for 45 years...

I loved him sooooooooooooooo much! (Even though he was a JW)

When he died a big part of me died..

I may be able to love again but it would have to be someone pretty special!

And hubby will always be first in my heart..

Snoozy..

Golden Girl,

That was a beautiful thing to say and a great tribute to your husband.

I have met many ones who thought they would never love again after a death, but because they knew how to love, found another, but not at an injustice to the one they lost. They knew what they had and would not take less.

To make everyone groan, love is an action word.

To be loved, you have to be loveable.

To love!

IMHO.. I gotta go with whoever it was that said "Love is like a muscle.. the more you exercize it, the greater it gets." I think one can love as many people as one has the capacity to love. For some, they loved 20+ people. For others... it was only one.

I have had thus far, only two great loves in my life. I define these loves from the other loves in my life because these two were the two I loved completely unselfishly. I heard some movie once say that a "Great love is the love that changes you forever." I believe this. Thankfully, I married the second such man to come along in my life. The minute his gentle soul touched my life, I knew I would never be the same, and you know what.. if he ever left, I would be forever changed because of him.

Love
