Questions, lots of them

How do you know when someone is worth fighting for? How do you know when that person isn't? If someone gives up on you, should you in turn give up on them? Does true love always conquer all in the end? Does it matter if you give up or keep fighting for it? No two loves are quite the same. You can never feel for someone what you felt before with a different person. Sometimes the feeling is just as strong, but different. How do you know what love to fight for? How do you know what feeling is the real one? What if you've already felt it and let it go? How do you know if you haven't really felt it? If someone was worth fighting for, wouldn't you know? Then comes the age old question, is there even a such thing as true love? Is it something we've created in our minds from reading too many books or watching too many movies? If it is then what about the people who wrote them? Is it just a person with a great imagination or is it something that is real that they've really felt? Is true love an exclusive club that only a very select few can get into or do we all get a chance at it? Is it just a myth created to make us feel like our lives have meaning? I used to think I had all the answers. I was so sure that love was real and that if you believed in it enough that anything was possible. How much is enough though? Is believing with your whole heart enough when it's real? If believing is all you really need, then I've never really been in love. Twice I've believed with all of my heart that the person I was in love with was my true love. Twice I've fought for something that I thought was real. Twice I've been hurt and let down and abandoned. Were either of them ever real? Were they both real? How does anyone know for sure? Maybe true love is real and I'm just still too young to recognize it and get confused by deep infatuation. I guess I still have plenty of time to find the answers. It's just so scary to know something with all of your heart only to find out that you never really knew anything at all. If I can believe so much in something that wasn't real, then how can I ever expect to know when it is real? I've always been told that when the real thing comes along you just know it, but I did know it. Both times, I knew it with every part of me. So if I knew it so much then and I was still wrong, who's to say that I will know it if it ever does come along for real? Does anyone really have a clue what they're talking about when it comes to love?
