Really depends what sort of number they do on your head before they go.

Life is nothing but love, and love is nothing but heartbreak.

People seem to forget that life inevitably works in cycles. There will be love and there will be heartbreak...there is no escaping it. What I try to remember is that that doesn't mean love leads to heartbreak. It just means that for a time you will feel love and for a time you will feel heartbreak. Love and heartbreak can be very distinct from each other. In this, you can be sure the heartbreak will end and you can love again.

Did that sound really cheesy? I'm in a weird mood.

Nope, not cheesy at all. Love is the most powerful influence in my life. And for me, it inevitably leads to heartbreak because I actually care about something, as opposed to the near constant apathy I feel for everything else. And I know I'll always part with that love, because almost nothing can last forever.

Learn to love yourselves.

Love resolved.

I learned to do that when I was 12, and I've never looked back.

This is true, but I definitely take comfort in knowing I will find love again even if it is something totally unrelated to what you are currently losing. I find I alternate between love in people and love in music. When I'm in a new relationship (a good one) I throw all my passion into it. When that fades, I find my passion in music again. I always have something.

:laughing:

Now you just need to get the emotional side down.

I could see that. Unfortunately for me, I find there's a difference between what I'm passionate about and what I'm in love with. I sort of have a near constant passion for art (music and film in particular) but I can't get enough out of it to really satisfy my emotional need. I will attest to simply dropping projects and other pursuits when I fall in love with somebody, however. So maybe I am using art as something to bounce back to.

I cried the first time, does that count?

Hahahahahaha, tell me that's true.
