Love like you have never loved before.
It is far better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all (with apologies to Shakespeare).
I know a few people who have been hurt in love. In truth, I have done some of that hurting (for which I'm now deeply sorry about).
But life goes on and the trick, as always, is that if you fall off the bike, well, you need to get back on it and ride again.
Because you have been hurt once (or twice) doesn't mean that you will get hurt again.
Anyway, life doesn't come with any guarantees so why should you have them when it comes to love?
The alternative to not finding love is a dreadful option, a life that will forever be missing something.
I also know people who are clearly not in love with the person that they are choosing to live with.
They obviously have their reasons for continuing that 'arrangement' and they include family and loyalty obligations.
Of course, I respect their choice but I do know that love is such a beautiful thing it almost seems a crime to deny yourself any genuine chance of finding it in your lifetime.
So, if you have found true love, I congratulate you.
If you haven't, then you have my sympathies and my sincerest wishes that one day, you do indeed find the one.
Until then, please don't give up! Get back on that bike!
