Life lessons..

Have you ever sat in a dark room alone and thought about how love failed you?

As she sat and reminisced about her past, she realized she'd been through so much. Old memories that had plagued her dreams came back. And she wondered how she had gotten through those moments without seeking revenge. Because she was furious at life for handing her only pain.
She was a stupid girl once, believing in romance. Waiting for Prince charming to come and sweep her off her feet. There is no such thing.
As she sits alone thinking about those who played with her emotions, she's come to realize love is meant only for those that are strong enough to live through pain and heartbreak. And yet, get back up and wait for the next round of disappointment, without caring about the consequences.
She's no fool. She will not open her heart up to anyone. She's not weak by any means, no.... She's older, smarter, wiser. Knows life isn't a fairytale and Prince charming is only a character in a book.
Life has taught her many lessons and as she's grown older she's come to know love isn't what it once was. She's not a stupid little girl anymore.

You say in your profile that you don't make sense. I beg to differ. Here you've written the mantra of many people who've had nothing but heartache in life. So true-to-life, your message feels exactly like I've felt a million times, but it doesn't paint a "poor-me" picture, instead there's an underlying strength, the power of finally learning the damn lessons & being able to stop the painful choices! This is more brilliant than you realize. Here's wishing you & your loved ones a sweet Christmas season (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This piece made me go back, mentally, to a lot of those moments, only to realize how right you are. Even though the kind of love that betrayed me was the love of friends, not lovers. Nonetheless, it felt very close to home, you know...

Love changes. I learn what real love was holding my first child. Thank you for sharing your words and thoughts.

Indeed Coyote.. Love can manifest itself in many ways and it's not exclusively between a man and a woman. Love for me is in my children and in waking every morning to their kisses and smiles. It's all I need and it's worth every heartbeat. Thank you!
