*Before you can grow up, you must fall in love 3 times.

Once you must fall in love with your best friend, ruining your friendship forever. This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more.

Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as any less than you deserve.

And once you must fall in love with someone that is exactly like you. This will teach you about who you are, and who you want to be.

And when you’re through with all that, you learn that the people who care about you the most are the ones that you hurt, and the ones that hurt you are the ones that you needed the most.


But most of all, you learn that love is only a concept and is not something that can be defined, it is different to each person that experiences it. And you will learn to respect each and every person on this earth, knowing that everyone only wants to be loved.

i agree with you writer that falling in love with 3 such people will give a chance to do a lot of self introspection. My take on love is that whomever we love in life, it should be selfless and then life will be beautiful.

ur right, but i wont be able to love selflessly cos i have never really trusted anyone...

dear writer, of course trust has to established first for selfless love to exist.first, u get to know someone, then u trust that person and then u love that person selflessly. an example of selfless love would be the love u have for ur parents, sibling and closest friends. am i not right?

@jayashreeee: hehe its pretty potent stuff huh, even i like it a lot, so posted it, got that as a foward....

and u've fallen in love 3 times!!!


Cool... Where have u been, Nair? Missing in action... Though i am glad your still reading me :P

But you've made me think now, so answer me this:


Some people i know, they love once, then again & again, inspite of really bad break-ups... How can people rebound like that? R they not at all terrified of their heart shattering into bits, all over again?

OR Do they just need the love & affection so badly from someone, that when they get it, they take it without much thought, because they'd rather do that than deal with feelings of hurt & pain...

i know a girl who does that(not saying who), even her password is lovehurts...

Why would she keep rebounding, when she knows that love hurts???

She fools herself that this time it is the real thing, but it never is...

She is a my closest friend & i really want to help her...

How do i get her to accept her feelings(which she is doing a fantastic job of suppressing) & deal with them???

@anonymous: yea that's a good example, makes sense...

hi writer,

thanks for the comment. regarding ur friend about whom u mentioned in the previous comment, i feel that if she has a set of very close friends with whom she can be herself and forget all worries, then may be this rebounding will not happen. a good holiday is a great way to unwind and release suppressed feelings.

cheers,
reader

You know what you really might be onto something there, she has been wanting to meet & talk to me, but the course is so grueling, haven't been able to... Will put in more effort from my end now on... Thanks anonymous! :)
