Capten Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 This made me laugh my ass off when I was going through some hard times. It cheered me up, made me realize that we ALL have to go through this crap at some point...I found it on the web and thought I would pass it along...... Don't know the author just his name is Neil Gaiman Quote: I hate love December 28, 2007 “Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, suit of armor, so that 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 didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like 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 simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ 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 real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love”. - Neil Gaiman http://thelovebook.wordpress.com/2007/12/28/quote-i-hate-love/ Link to post Share on other sites

LucreziaBorgia Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I've finally gotten past the 'hate' part, and am merely indifferent. Between the two, I prefer indifferent. Link to post Share on other sites

lonelypiscesguy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I refuse to give up hope! My ex broke my heart, but I guess I did some breaking of my own. What is life without love. Seriously? I still love to be in love, and it felt very good while it lasted, thank you very much. Honestly, if you people are that bitter, just go overdose on something! My ex reminded me of just how wonderful it is to be in love but she also reminded me of how much work it can be. I don't plan on being as thoughtless with the next woman, but I won't be a doormat, either (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). When I was happy and in love with my GF, she really was the wind beneath my wings, she inspired me to want to do better than I had intended on doing. I don't really believe any of you when you say you hate love, it just sounds so cool and pithy and chic! Get off your asses, quit being chicken****s, and go meet somebody!

EmperorR Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 all those stupid quotes, like its better to love than to not I wish I never loved, how good my life would be now, lets see what loving a women has brought me, debt, being cheated on, insecurities, stole my confidence, made me lose weight, made me be depressed, lost most of my friends in the process, distant to my family, put my life on hold for like 4 years. And then again, i opened up to another girl and got another anchor through my stitched up heart, well once it stitches up again im odne, ill date again, ill fake my emotions and i'll always have my shield up Link to post Share on other sites
