...you just have to keep in mind that there's no requirement that the person love you back...
a friend of mine wrote me above last night during a catch up conversation over text messaging. she was talking about falling for someone, wanting to start a life with her (ex) boyfriend and him not feeling the same way...i applaud her. she was the vulnerable one for giving herself to someone who ultimately chose not to give himself back.
as i thought about her statement, i can only think back to my own situations of love not being reciprocated (one fairly recently) and wish that it wasn't so crushing when it happens--for both people. yes it's a part of life, but truth is, it sucks, despite the "someone better will come along" commentary!
my lesson: falling for someone may hurt like hell but you should never regret it especially when you gave it you and when it was honest...besides love isn't what hurts, it the ego-bruising truth of knowing that the love you chose didn't choose you back...
