I love to love, i love people, i love animals, i just love to love. Sometimes i wonder if the way how i feel is normal or if i am just crazy. The crazy feeling comes because in all of the loving that goes out i find that maybe half of it is returned and there is a whole lot of hurt involved. Crazy because i feel the emotional hurt and i dont want anything to do with whom ever is associated with the hurt but i still have the same joyous love for the person but from a distance. I find that giving love and seeing the joy in other peoples' lives gives me a sense of joy keeps shining within me even in my darkest moments. What about you, are you able to continue loving people even after they have hurt you? Are you able to gave love to others while not wanting anything in return but to gave them happiness?

I think it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Love is probably one of the strongest human emotions - one that makes people do amazing things. A human being who has never experienced love usually never does much with his or her life.

I don't think you are crazy, or if you are, I am crazy too! I have had several long loving relationships and when they ended I did not suddenly stop loving the other person and I can look back and think of the love I had for that person, even though we are not longer in a loving relationship. I am not in a relationship now and I still feel a lot of love in my heart but it is love for all people rather than just for one special person. I may love again in future and when I do the happiness of that person will be most important to me. For now I can go on loving life itself. I think it is definitely better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. I could not live without love in my life.
