Real love finds you once, if you’re lucky.
Some people never find love at all.
Let me tell you a little something about love. It’s different every time.
It’s nothing more than a chemical reaction, an arrow over an equation,
but the elements change. The most fragile kind of love is that between
a man and a woman. Like chemistry, again: if you introduce a new element,
you never know how stable the original bond is. You may wind up with a
new union, with something left behind. I believe that you can fall in
love many times with many people. However, I don’t think that you can
fall in love in the same way twice. One type of relationship may be steady.
Another may be fire and brimstone. Who is to say if one of these is better
than the other? The deciding factor is how it all fits together.
Your love,I mean, and your life.
Love makes you lose yourself.
“I got married for all the wrong reasons. When my husband didn’t
turn out to be everything I’d imagined he’d be, I wanted to end
everything. There’s no such thing as the perfect soulmate. If
you meet someone and you think they’re perfect, you better run as
fast as you can in the other direction. ‘Cos your soulmate is the
person that pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular
basis, and makes you face your shit. It’s not easy having a good marriage,
but I don’t want easy. Easy doesn’t make you grow. Easy doesn’t make
you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes
me think. That’s my definition of true love.”
Very few things are worth taking a rise for;
love, family, and the prospect of a first kiss.
The first person you fell in love with stole your heart.
The first person you made love with stole your soul.
And if these were one and the same, you were doomed.
When your heart sets it’s sights on someone,
it doesn’t consult with your mind.
It’s all about chemistry and timing. Your first love wins an
Oscar at timing, and your true love beats him at chemistry.
At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you
don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy
tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it
may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just
that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon,
people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even
take your breath away.
There is nothing you should be gentler with than love.
The thing about my relationships is that I spend so much time
fighting for them, and I get so used to pushing and pulling for
that time to be together, that when I find someone that actually
wants to be with me, I get bored with not having to push and
shove our relationship. What’s the point in fighting for
something you already have?
Love does not die easy;
it often grows when no one is watching.
Maybe I’ll change, maybe love will change,
but I think we were a once-in-a-lifetime.
When the broken hearts are mended and the many tears are dried, you learn.
When you’re over the old boyfriends and the old girlfriends and you realize
that you can live without your first love, you learn. You see that the world
doesn’t end just because you think it will, and that sometimes growing up
means letting go. You learn what real love is, and you begin to see that one
friend who really cares is better than a hundred friends who don’t. You
learn that you can be strong, take each day step-by-step, and survive every
sad moment. So feel the pain and cry the tears, go out and experience life.
But when you’re at the end of your rope, and you’re ready to jump off that
ledge, remember that heartaches fades, pain subsides, and though life seems
at times too tough to handle, it’s also too precious a gift to waste. Keep
on living, never give up, and remember: As you grow, you learn.
Sometimes things really are too good to be true.
Do you know what it’s like to love someone so much that you
can’t see yourself without picturing him? Or what it’s like to
touch someone and feel like you’ve come home?
Raw love, like raw heartache, could blindside you.
It could make you forget what you did not know to focus
exclusively on those few pieces you could commit to heart.
Planning love is like trying to control the weather:
impossible, frustrating, and unnatural.
Love is found in the most unexpected places.
When someone is in your heart, they’re never truly gone.
They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.
You don’t often get to choose the people that come into your life,
but sometimes you get awfully lucky.
As much as it hurts, I wish for everyone to experience the kind of love
I felt. Even if it wasn’t real on his side, I know what was in my heart
and it was one of my most important, life-changing experiences. But it
wasn’t just that. It changed me down to the core, showed sides of me
I never knew existed. It made me and it broke me. It gave me some of
my most low, shattering moments and some of my most blissful, joyful ones.
It takes you to the gates of hell and back towards the heavens. It’s love,
and you’ll love to hate it and hate to love it.
You know you love someone when in the brightest, sunniest day of summer,
having the time of your life, it’s them you’re still missing.
Sometimes I wonder why I’m still head over heels.
But I guess I just love the way loving you feels.
The one you love and the one who loves you are rarely ever the same person.
I believe in love. Especially now: I think it just hits you
and pulls the rug out from underneath you, and, like a baby,
demands your attention every minute of the day.
Love is that condition in which the happiness
of another person is essential to your own.
The loves that survives the longest are those that
didn’t begin with finding the perfect person.
Nothing lasts forever. So love what you have while you still have it.
Don�t take anything for granted, because you never know when something
will come to an end.
It’s silly to believe some things are meant to be,
but nothing will ever be if we don’t let it.
