Have you ever 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,

i don't think what you just described is love. love is a beautiful and wonderful thing shared between two people. it takes time to fall into it; it's not the same thing as a crush. what you described is something completely different... it's not fair to take rejection or some asshole that hurt you out on love. love is great... it's the lack of love (or love that isn't returned) that sucks.

^i agree 100%
love can be amazing when you find the right person to share it with..and unrequited love was never true love in the first place..and that is the kind that hurts

[justagirl31]

well its all how u experience it.. ive never had a good love experience.. and dont fucking tell me i wasnt in love because i know how i felt.

whoa

[rollnwitdaholmy]

no need for profanity..
i wasnt saying YOU werent in love..but the way the quote describes "love" makes it seem like its always horrible..and its not always horrible..

i wasnt critisizing you..i was critisizing the quote..jeez

Unrequited love is love. Just because some one doesn't love you doesn't mean you dont love them. Sometimes love is a one way street. And love is pain. But its a beautiful pure pain that nothing else will ever compare to.

wow, i didnt really know there was going to be such a debate about this...i sent it to Kait cause its kinda just the way i was feeling and i found it to hit the spot on what it felt like, and i knew Kait would appreciate it cause we were talking about stuff like that, becuase when u get hurt and a guy that you care for is being an a complete asshole its kinda like hey, i know what u mean kinda thing...and i know that most of us have been hurt, and a lot of us have been in a situation where there is love...and to me its upsetting when people tell you that when u feel something like this, then clearly it wasnt love...cause how the hell would u know what i was feeling, u werent there

[justagirl31]

EXACTLY. i <3 u caroline

[rollnwitdaholmy]

i never thought i would have to explain myself over something like this..i NEVER said you werent in love..i NEVER said ANY of you never felt love..ALL i said was..or atleast all i meant was..unrequited love is not true love in the sense that, since it isnt returned, it hurts..and true love is not suppose to hurt you..it is suppose to help you..it is suppose to make you grow..what the QUOTE is describing is unrequited love...when one person loves someone else..and it is not returned..what you all felt may have very well been true love..i dont know because i am not any of you..and i was definitely NOT putting down any of your experiences...and if you GREW from your experiences..in a positive way..then yes, i would say you had truly loved that person..and dont think for one second that i think that i am privy to true love..that i think that i am "the only one to have experienced it"...cuz i dont think that at all..and, maybe i misinterpretted what you all were saying, but that seemed to be the message that came across..that you all think

[rollnwitdaholmy]

and..just a side note

[clina1sheep]

erin i wasnt talking about u not telling me i was love, its just it was a comment made to me like a month ago, and i kinda just remembered it... its just when i found that comment i was in quite a mood, and it was upsetting...and i honestly thought the quote was funny...it mad me feel better cause its the whole ur not alone thing...and unrequited love does suck but i find it kind of makes me love harder cause its a challenge...which sucks because u dont make any progress

[rollnwitdaholmy]

very true..to all the above..
