I think the following says it all. It is a qoute about the way i feel right now.
Have you even 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, wanders into your stupid life...
You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

it is amazing to me that people actually have fun making fun of others in pain
Hey, well said. I haven't read anything more precise on that topic lately.
But let me tell you my story. Yes, i have been in love. I am actually in love now. And let me tell you something sad. I thought i was loved back... We even live together...but i just don't feel loved anymore. And it was so wonderful for a while.
I think it is worse to have been loved by the person you love and to wake up one day and just not feel that love anymore (although he/she still claims he/she does love you), than not to have been loved at all. It hurts BAD. Worse than anything i have ever known. And there is nothing u can do about it.
But still, we should believe in true love, because it is there,i can assure u, and we shouldn't hate it. Because it is like to hate life, it'll hate u right back.
Take care!
