O.K Kelly
Kelly,
You are correct. I just read your quote that you sent me from C.S. Lewis. You know, loving is a HUGE part of life. Without love, nothing good would exist!! I appreciate you sharing this quote with me that somebody shared with you. Thank you!
"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket — safe, dark, motionless, airless — it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." ~ CS Lewis
See, this is a great quote! I wouldn't want to know life without love, but sometimes I just don't want to be hurt! I am not always this pathetic. I just generally love love love wayyyy too much!
Thanks Kel!

Glad you're back to blogging. It is a good quote...tough to swallow at times, but so true. During the tough times remember the alternative...safe, dark, motionless, airless...doesn't sound good...or like you!
Since you didn't say it...Happy Hump Day tomorrow! :)
broken hearts are always a possibility, but it's how u cope with them that defines u as a person. it's better to have love and lost then to not have loved at all........although i don't have any lines, i recall a movie i once saw all alone or so i thought in a theater........."the notebook." people say and do things in the heat of the moment that they often regret, and forgiveness allows each person to heal, especially when they are "far away"
