Love HURTS

After a short 25 years on this planet... here's what I know for certain about love...

Love HURTS. No matter what kind of love it is- love will bite you in the ass time and time again. You love a parent or other family member - eventually, as life takes its course, they will leave you and it will shatter you. Love a pet, and the same will happen too. Love a child - though I'm not a mother - I know that kind of unconditional love can be crippling. Sometimes you can love someone so intensely, that it physically hurts. Or, you may love someone, and to your utter disappointment, they just don't love you in return... or maybe they just don't love you the way you desperately want them to. Or maybe you love someone, and they love you too, but your love is painfully unrequited. And of course, you may find that you love someone so much (to the point of physical pain), but they go and break your heart. Or you may find yourself looking back on past loves, and wonder what could've been if things had been different. And it hurts. LOVE, in any form, always hurts at some point or another. Love is an exquisite pain.

The real question is: is love worth the pain?

What do you think? (Seriously, feel free to leave me your comments, either here or on facebook. I'm really curious about your opinions).
