if you're attractive, it's probably worth it.
if you're not, it's probably not worth it.

just have one thing in mind, never convince yourself that the one you love loves you back. it'll fuck up your life if the feeling is not corresponded. it's the story of my life and i always commit the same mistake like a fuckin' idiot. so always remember that love can fuck up your life.

It was the same feeling that made me joyful, when I was sad, and it was the feeling that gave me inspiration, when I ran out of ideas. It was the feeling that made me float, when I was too down in this world; and it was the feeling that opened my eyes when they were closed. Love is the ultimate emotion that reverses negative energies...ah yes. But, I have lost love. I have loved, but have not received it in return, ah yes. But what to do? What can you do? Must I take my life away? If I lose love, then all those negative energies return...ahh... There is only one thing to do... Take that love that was there before, and store it in a place that'll be safe. In order to continue on, learn to love yourself! Yes, we need to work on ourselves people! If those people don't love us in return, what good are they? Do they control our bodies? Do they feed us? Do they do what is necessary for us to stay alive? NO! We take care of ourselves, and WE make sure we stay alive! WE are the vessels that matter. If another earthly creature DOES not share the same beautiful vision as love as us, then they are at loss; if you are honestly in love, and good at heart, and the person doesn't return it, then it is NOT always your fault, but perhaps the other person; Remember, we are humans with freedom, of thought, and expression, and sometimes, things get in the way of our feelings; fear, experience, pain, and suffering can be reasons to be afraid to 'love' others. So we cannot blame others ALL the times, but perhaps, immaturity, can be to blame for this injustice. Now this may sound like I'm cold hearted, but it's true. If we love ourselves, and do good for others, we can 'take' this love that we had for that person, and 'convert' it to do good for YOURSELVES, and others. Take that joy and love and pour it into positive things. Music, entertainment, friends, family, hobbies, religion, sports, YOURSELVES! Anything that makes you happy in this world. There's hope; there's hope for us all in this world. We are young, so it's easy to get tangled up in the booby traps of this world. It's all up to us to have knowledge and wisdom, to watch out for the wicked snares in this world. Until then, don't be depressed, and 'suppress' that love, but let it shine, and shine bright on the things that matter. Later. -Mental

wow. awesome post man.

It's definitely worth it, it might have it's setbacks and knockdowns but I also think it can help shape you as a person.

Love sounds like a routine of human emotions which randomly occurs - based on who you meet and how he/she interacts with your behaviours and life style. Due to the complex nature of this... my own beliefs has developed this main rule of thumb:

Don't bother with the idea of "love" until your own life is in full swing & you're very comfortable w/yourself. In the bigger picture - you'll generally save precious time for both you and any prospective life mates.

the biggest problem is that most ppl. dont realize, that 'love' in the romantic sense, does not exist

so ppl. spend yrs. and yrs. of their lives looking for sumthing which doesn't exist, and then they get bitter

once u realize this, life becomes much easier, and u get to fuck around alot more

Ok I retract my previous statement. Love is worth the risk only if it ends up working out. If not then you end up feeling like shit but at least you know that you have gone for it and are aware of how the person feels. If you don't go for it or try you will forever be kicking yourself for not having the guts to do it. Plus things happen for a reason whether you are aware of it at the time or not, and eventually it will get better. I just have one question? Where is my girl? I used to have times when I looked like a madman, then others where I didn't look, now I just party my ass off with friends, and hopefully I will end up meeting her just by doing that and living my life.

Und ich tanz einfach weiter...

i think it depends on personalities...

some ppl want love, they dont like being alone, they like having a constant companion etc

some ppl dont want love, but still find themselves suckered in time and time again

some people want love, but can't find what their definition of love is

some people are "alone", but not alone, and like it that way.


in the words of robert de niro, i am alone...but i am not lonely.
i personally find security in my own mind and soul, i dont need a constant companion to help solve my problems. the mind is a powerful tool on its own, able to solve and adapt to any situation that presents itself in life without needing a 3rd party's opinion and/or input.
shouldn't confuse this with the 'partying 24/7, one night stand, prime of my dating life' kind of ppl, who inevitably end up 40 years old, feeling alone, and grasping for straws in relationships

i know how you feel, just give it some time, it goes away

yes, but remember to consider the pain you risk in losing it.

the answer is still yes, though.
