i live my life by taking risks, it makes sure that i know i am alive.
I dance as if no-one is watching(suppose it helps having done latin & ballroom dancing for 4 years though), i sing as though no-one is listening, i love as if i have never been hurt, i do this because i would rather be hurt and laughed at than not take the risk and not live.
if you dont take the risk to be happy how can you ever be truely happy.
i believe that everything does happen for a reason, i also believe that everyone that enters and leaves your life has come or left to teach you something about life.
well thats how i am, for me not loving 100% is the biggest risk of all, if you dont open up 100% and dont love 100% then how can that ever be returned.

P.S when i said in my first post; "cause everytime i have fallen for someone i feel so much in love that i scares me." i meant to say "so much MORE in love that i scares me"
i guess thats why i take the risk, i like scaring myself sh!tless

I was at a friends house last night and they were watching the Savage Garden concert in Brisbane. The song came on and these words made me think of posting it here as I thought it was rather relevant.



I may not have got the words 100% correct but that is the basic line. I think it is true.

Love isnt about finding the perfect person...
its about see'ing an imperfect person Perfecly

In a sense, is that not finding the perfect person?

no, because u are finding a imperfect person, but you are see'ing them perfectly.

Which makes them the Perfect Person. Perhaps I should put it like this:

Which makes them the Perfect Person for you (as in the indivual).

Seeing something that is imperfect by definition as Perfect would mean that it is then perfect?

Maybe I am just being silly, but this is what I think.

yeah your just being silly

You could see that imperfection and accepting it ..
but then again they say Love is blind.

and love can blind a person... take my cousin for example who is married to this stupid idiot who everyone wants to kill.

OK



I know the feeling.

love is not seeing an imperfect person perfectly, but loving the imperfections as much or even more than the perfections.
thats why they say love is blind, cause to someone else your perfect woman maby be as irritating as a 6 month old who wont stops crying.

well thats what i think anyway

Here are dictionary definitions of love:

1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
2. A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

Who agrees with the above?

Well aint the real saying something like this? "It isnt about finding the perfect person, but it is about loving the inperfect person perfectly"

I could be wrong....dont know.

Love to be a planetmars member, here is something for everyone.

Love sucks. Never give your heart to anyone....guaranteed breakage.

i only love my family and my doggie.


thats the reason why!

My NOW ex broke up with me. I got over it. I beleive everything happens for a reason. I will definately give my heart to another. I know that one day I will find that special person for me.

Cheers

I fore one, really and truly hope you do! Since the advice you gave me has allowed me to pick up my game and change my lifestyle, to one that is what i feel a workable one! Thanks Cyfer and i hope you end up getting a better deal than what you currently had...

Peace

Guys I`ll tell you it`s worth loving and loosing. Been there and done it and the trip was great. Sure it hurts a lot on the way down but you`ll come out the other side feeling you`re worth more than you could have imagined. Never be affraid of loving someone too much I did, and it was a big issue, but I was true to myself and her. I gave it all I had and I`ll do the same anyother day with someone else I think is worth it.

Edit: When I say I mean I did love too much, and it was worth every minute to me.

Respect dude.

I feel exactly the same way

I know that most of you will err at seeing a 17 year old thinking he is in love, but I dont think age has anything to do with it.


Too true!!
My girlfriend has many things that I dont like, but I love her anyway. Small things should never be alowed to get in the way of love.
If you let those small things stop you loving him/her or even just cause a small rift, then it isnt love, its not worth working for, love means to be able to live with the faults of the person you love, and make yourself a better person for it.

...LOVE????.....What a strange concept?!?

I have felt affection and desire to people but love isn't necessary.
LUST LUST LUST
We only shaped it into something that we can call love.

Then my friend, you have not lived yet. There is nothing better than finding someone to share you dreams with.

dunno... i don't think i've ever truly been in love with someone... maybe there's somethin wrong, but i just haven't found the right person yet?

You havent then kaizoku.

You will know when you love someone. It is when you find yourself wondering why you ever thought that his/her faults you actually considered faults.

yeah... think you're right. it'll come around one day... i'm just sick of relationships that only last a month... both parties go away hurt.

Until those faults are no longer hidden by the blinding love and they cause so much anger and confusion that you want to jump in front of an 18 wheeler.

Only when you can look at your partners' faults, see them as faults but still want to be with him/her will you be even close to true love. It is not possible to find someone who is faultless, that is only possible with puppy love.

There is no such thing as love. Selflessness is merely a word that was conjured up by some cunning fool ages ago, to mask his own true intent. Nothing has changed - Humans are fundamentally incapable of any such acts. Every desire, every emotion even, is driven by an almost egotistical, yet primal and instinctive selfishness (a need to serve the self). So much so that we don't even notice it any more; don't even realise the truth.
There are no exceptions.

And the truth is?

The truth is that we are fooling ourselves. Love doesn't exist in the way that we think it does, or the way that we want it to. Refer to previous post.
