Hi, Maria.. I extracted dis frm sumwhere...enjoy reading..
Love is to risk rejection
When you think of your past love, you may view itas a failure.
But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher.
In the game of love, it doesn't really matter who won or who lost.
What is important is you know when to hold on andwhen to let go!
You know you really love someone
when you want him or her to be happy, even if
their happiness means that you're not part of it.
Everything happens for the best.
If the person you love doesn't love you back,
don't be afraid to love someone else again,
for you'll never know unless you give it a try.
You'll never love a person you love unless you risk for love.
Love strives in hurting. If you
don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time. Though the
hurting is still there to test you, to help you
grow. Don't find love, let love find you.
That'swhy it's called falling in love because you don't
force yourself to fall. You just fall. You cannot
finish a book without closing it's chapters.
I fyou want to go on, then you have to leave the
past as you turn the pages.
Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won
by a single caress.It is a lifetime venture in which we are always
learning, discovering and growing. The greatest
irony of love is letting go when you need to hold
on and holding on when you need to let go. We
lose someone we love only when we are destined to
find someone else who can love us even more thanwe can love ourselves.
On falling out of love,take some time to heal and
then get beckon the horse.
But don't ever make the same mistake of
riding the same one that threw you the first time.
To love is to risk rejection, to live is to risk
dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must
be taken because the greatest hazard in life is
risk nothing! To reach for another is to risk
involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose
true self, to love is to risk not to be loved in
return. How to define love: fall but do not
stumble, be constant but not too persistent,
share and never be unfair, understand and try not
to demand, hurt but never keep the pain.
Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it
can carve wonderful images into the soul that
always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to
be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire
you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes
the things that give you joy can also hurt you in
the end. Loving people means giving them the
freedom who they choos e to be and where they
choose to be. For all the heartaches and the
tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you
should give thanks, for you know, that there were
the things that helped you grow.
Loving someone means giving him the freedom to
find his way, whether it leads towards you or
away from you. Love is a painful risk to take but
the risk must be taken no matter how scary or
painful, for only then you'll experience the
fullness of humanity and that is love.
Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with
desire and tear you apart.
Only love can make you cry and
only love knows why.
If you're not ready to cry,
if you're not ready to take the risk,
if you're not ready to feel the pain,
then you're not ready to fall in love.
There was a time in our lives when
we became afraid to fall in love 'coz every time
we do, we get hurt, then i figured that's why
it's called falling in love.
