Feelings and Emotions...



1. Always remember that when we lose someone we love, there will be pain in our hearts. But when there is pain, there will be strength and courage, and with that, there will always be the hope of finding someone who will love us and someone we can love even more.

2. Sometimes we just have to control our feelings for someone. Truth is, our feelings doesn’t know what’s right or wrong. That’s why our minds reason with us so there can be balance. Otherwise, we would always trip as we aimlessly follow what our hearts dictate.


3. A relationship will always need trust and faith. Trust, so you could keep a relationship strong, and faith, so you can build a strong foundation of love that could weather all storms to make it last for as long as you wish to.


4. A relationship is a two way street. It’s never all your fault, nor is it all the fault of your partner. Both of you have to work together to make it work. And, remember, the best relationship is one in which your LOVE exceeds your NEEDS for reach other.


5. Letting go of someone you love is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn’t even feel the same is much harder. Remember that giving up doesn’t mean you are weak. It only means that you are strong eonugh to let go of something that was never really yours in the first place.


6. Live not on what your heart dictates but on what is right and sensible. There is still time to turn away from what is wrong. Remember, the true joy of living is not only in loving ourselves but in loving without hurting other people.


7. Even with all the pain that comes with loving, we should never let our hearts wallow in anger. When love comes into our lives, be thankful. But when it leaves us, even if it’s against our will, we should only be sorry or a while. There should be no room for our hatred to grow in our hearts.


8. As it has always been said, we should embrace love when it comes knocking on our doors and willingly let go of it when it says goodbye. We shouldn’t regret that we’ve lost it. Be thankful that for once in our lives it has dwelled in our hearts and made us happy.


9. If we pass on love today, there may never be a next day to show it and even if there’s still a next day, there may never be someone to show it to. Love is never afraid. It should not hold you from showing someone how you feel. If it does, then it is not love.


10. Loving someone with all our hearts isn’t all that it takes to make a relationship last. Sometimes, even if we prove our worth in many ways, seen and unseen, we still cannot guarantee of permanence and loyalty in our relationships.

All about Friendship & True Friends


1. Friends hurt each other. Like family members, friends hurt each other. It doesn’t feel good, but it doesn’t always indicate that the person isn’t your true friend. We are most vulnerable to the people we care about, which means it’s easier for them to hurt us. Nonetheless, being hurt by a friend doesn’t have to be the end of the road for that friendship.

It’s important to accept that the love between friends opens the door for hurt, yet true friends can maintain a friendship through rough times.

2. Friends keep secrets. The levels of intimacy, trust and connection are different in every friendship. In the most intimate friendships, friends know virtually everything about each other. In other friendships, you may not share each other’s entire life story or expose every skeleton in your closet. But that doesn’t mean one friendship isn’t a true friendship.

A friend who keeps certain aspects of their personal life private can still be a true friend. You don’t need to know everything about a person to know that there is something about them that you love.

3. Every friendship is different. Everyone appreciates a true friend who has been around for decades, proving loyalty through tests and trials. But not every friend has to fit inside this box.

One of the best things about friendship is that it comes in many different forms. A friend may be someone who simply says the right thing at the right time on your Facebook wall. Or someone who loves to listen when you need to be heard. Not every friend has everything, so it’s important to appreciate what each friend brings to the table.

4. Friends aren’t perfect. With a long list of what it takes for someone to qualify as a friend, you will constantly find yourself weeding people out. Friends make mistakes. Friends do things that you disapprove of. Friends don’t always communicate properly. Friends have issues they haven’t properly dealt with.

Just because you aren’t fond of certain aspects of a person’s life, doesn’t mean they can’t have a role as your friend. Through their imperfections, many friends teach us love, patience and acceptance.

5. Reason, Season, and Lifetime Friendships. Not every friend is a forever friend—and that’s okay. Some people come into your life for a very specific reason, and their friendship may be just what you need at the time.

Unfortunately, people grow apart, friendships fall apart, and the time may come to let a friend go. When that time comes, it doesn’t mean the person was never your friend. It simply means that their season has passed.

6. Friends aren’t always there. Some friends are present on a regular basis, particularly whenever you need them. This is something quite worthy of appreciation, but it doesn’t have to exist in every friendship.

If you’re in California, you may never embrace your online friend in Japan. But if that friend adds value to your life in some way, it is a true friendship. A friend is someone you share a meaningful connection with, but they aren’t always people who are physically by your side.

13 Signs of a true friend by T. Caldwell



1. They support you in your positive goals and try to steer you from unhealthy habits
2. They’re there for you when you need them, and they will help you the best way they are able to
3. They won’t assume you’re angry with them or no longer your friend just because they haven’t heard from you in a while – they know you’re busy

4. They are willing to drive 15 hours just to hang out with you
5. They will be a fan of your book / album / game / blog and *hint hint* buy your products ;-D
6. They provide constructive criticism instead of insults or judgement
7. They will take the time to try to get to know your family
8. They respect you, your priorities, your limitations, your relationships, your beliefs and your home
9. They understand where you’re coming from and where you’re trying to go
10 They won’t harbor any grudges after a disagreement
11 They make you feel as if you can trust them, and as if they have trust in you
12 They will remain your friend. Even after they’ve seen your stretch marks, witnessed you wearing holey underwear (or none at all), were too close when you let a stinky one loose, and were unable to avoid your projectile vomit when you got silly drunk
13 They will remind you that you are loved, and never alone

How to Recognize (and Become) a True Friend

Though it is completely intangible, friendship is one of life’s most valuable treasures. It’s something that we all desire and it may even be something that we need. Most people claim to give it and expect to receive it. But like all of the best things, true friendship can be hard to come by.

To find one true friend in life is a gift like no other. By making the distinction between the people with whom you associate and those who qualify as your true friend(s), you may seize the opportunity to foster one of the most important relationships you’ll ever experience.

If you’re wondering how to become a better friend or how to evaluate current associations, consider these surefire signs of real friendships:


Listening

A friend is someone who listens intently without preparing a response. Because your friend loves you enough to care about what you have to say, they will be there to listen even when others in the world might consider your point of view stupid, wrong, or otherwise undesirable. With friendship, there is no need to filter your thoughts. A friend won’t always agree with you, but they will be your sounding board.



Loyalty and Dependability


Friends love without all of the conditions that often exist in other relationships. We all make costly mistakes in life, but a true friend will remain in your corner during those rough times.


A real friendship will not change if you gamble away your money, gain 100 pounds, marry the wrong person, make parenting mistakes, or lose a great job. That person is not in your life because of what you have or who you appear to be.


A true friend cherishes their relationship with you because they know your heart. A person who loves you for the person that you are on the inside will be there when the whole world seems to be against you.


Honesty and Sincerity
A true friend will always tell you the truth. If you’re making a bad decision or walking around with a booger in your nose, you can count on a friend to speak up. There is no reason to hide your thoughts or feelings from the person who is your true friend. Friendship allows you the freedom to share information openly and honestly because you know it will be held in the strictest confidence. Being a good friend means being completely trustworthy, for there is never room for deceit in friendship.



Respect and Acceptance
One of the luxuries of friendship is that you can be yourself. Having similar interests helps you to bond with new associates, but a true friend will not require that you like the same things that they like. Because your true friend respects you as an individual, the friendship will be sustained even if your political views, social interests, religious beliefs, marital status, or finances change over the years. Although a friend will give you their honest opinion, they won’t require you to agree with them.


Boundaries
It isn’t always easy when friends begin spending less time together because one of them starts a family or begins spending more time with colleagues. However, your true friend will respect your boundaries as you develop other relationships and associations.


Quality Time
Much like romantic relationships, friendships must be cultivated with quality time. That doesn’t mean you need weekly date nights or daily phone conversations. After all, quantity does not mean quality and vice versa. Quality time with a friend includes communicating your dedication by giving advice when requested, quietly listening when needed, providing reassurance and support, and showing up in emergencies.

Even if you only talk to your true friend once a month, that time should be given the upmost importance. Your work, spouse, children, pets, parents, and all other things and people must be temporarily set aside in order to effectively communicate with your true friend in whatever way works for both of you. Any relationship worth having is worth nurturing.


Deep Understanding
Friends take the time to know much more about each other than what is on the surface. A friend seeks to have a deeper understanding of who you are as a person. Any associate may come to know your birthday, your favorite foods, and the type of mate you desire. But a true friend understands what you need when feeling down, what approach is best when presenting a new idea to you, what drives and motivates you, what body language you use when hiding your pain, and what values you hold most dear to your heart.




You have been blessed with an amazing gift if, after reading the friendship qualities above, you realize that you have a true friend in your life. And your friends are equally lucky if you have these qualities. If, on the other hand, you realize that you have fallen short of true friendship, use what you’ve read here as a guide to help you develop this solid bond. Should you find yourself in a position where there is nobody around to befriend, at least be a true friend to yourself.


more ... about love

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it doesn’t really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go! You know when you love someone when you want him to be happy even if his happiness means that you’re not part of it.


Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn’t love you back, don’t be afraid to love someone else again, for you’ll never know unless you give it a try. You’ll never love a person you love unless you risk for love. Love strives in hurting. If you don’t get hurt, you don’t learn how to love. Love doesn’t hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you, to help you grow. Don’t find love, let love find you. That’s why it’s called falling in love because you don’t force yourself to fall. You just fall.


You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages. Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering, and growing. The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go.


We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves. On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse. But don’t ever make the mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time.

To love is to risk rejections, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing! To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to risk your true self, to love is to risk not to be loved in return. How to love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, hurt but never keep the pain. Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.

Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where they choose to be. For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and fruitless years, you should give thanks. Those were the things that helped you grow. Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way, whether it leads towards you or away from you.


Love is a big risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you’ll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love. Only love can fill you with desire and tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not ready to take the risk, if you’re not ready to feel the pain, then you’re not ready to fall in love. There’s a time in our lives when we become afraid to love coz every time we do, we get hurt, then I figured that’s why it’s called falling in love. When you decide to love, allow it to grow. When you promise to love, refuse to let it die! Keep on lovin!!!

Love lessons:



1. ‘Sorry’ was never synonymous to ‘I won’t do it again.’ Indeed. No matter how many times we say ’sorry,’ we can’t avoid the instances of doing the same mistake all over again – whether intentionally or unintentionally. So, never expect your partners to poke their eyeballs whenever a chic girl or a hunk guy passes by.

2. When s/he falls out, it doesn’t mean you’re giving less. It’s because s/he is asking too much. Think positively. I mean, why would you blame yourself for the breakup? Who wants to end up having puffy eyes, after all the crying and all? Do you really think a relationship would work out if you’re not reaching a compromise? Nah. Come on. Be optimistic. When it’s broken, it’s broken. Don’t try fixing it. You would only end up hurting yourself. Such a cliche.

3. Crying before breaking up is good. You are trying to save the relationship. But crying after the breakup is different. It’s stupidity. Here we go again. Don’t cry over spilled milk. S/he ditched you, move on. Get a life. After all, you did everything you could to save the relationship – or did you?

4. There are no wasted tears.There are only inconsiderate partners. Okay, I’m talking about saving the relationship here. Some partners don’t really care. Period. No matter how many barrels of tears you cry, they just won’t care. But let me remind you, crying isn’t really the best solution. A good serious talk would still win. Unless, you’re guilty of course. You should end up being a drama queen or king and all sort. Hehe.

5. Bitterness is often the painful consequence of holding on. You see, if your partners don’t like having you around, then let go. I mean, seriously? Do you really wanna see your ex french kissing his/her new girlfriend/boyfriend? You sure don’t wanna be a wagging tail, following your partner because you still want him/her back. Am I clear with my point here?

6. Third parties are not the main issues. It’s always the two of you. Go figure it out. I don’t wanna explain.

7. Forgiveness is different from second chances. Yes, I still believe that you can still end up being friends. You sure can forgive your partner, but second chance? Think about it. So, you believe in “love is sweeter the second time around?” It all boils down to being able to do the same mistake all over again. If s/he did that to you, then there’s not a reason why s/he won’t do it again. Unless, of course you’d already killed him/her. hehe.

Okay, yes. You’re right. I’m back. I was actually thinking of writing something else but I ended up with these. There have been a lot of things people discuss about love lessons. But I still believe that love is a matter of thinking, and not mainly of the heart. I’m not quite sure if it’s Grey’s Anatomy or Dr. House, but they point out that a man, whose heart is being replaced, can still love the same person before and after the operation. So, see? It’s just a matter of mind. Just use your head. I mean, really. Seriously.

Holding On To Love

I am almost certain that you are holding on to someone who still seems to be there but has long been gone he was just looking for a decent way out of your relationship. You know how men can get away with words. Saving the friendship was just an excuse. It was totally unfair when he wanted you to hold on and see if he still loves you after a year had passed. That was an outrageously selfish proposition.


There is nothing wrong in loving someone. You may be able to bear the pain when love begins to hurt. And when it hurts, you may still be able to give even more. You may be even able to love until it hurts no more. But what good does it bring you when the person you love shows no respect for what you feel and makes lame excuses for his inability to love you back? Love isn’t love until you give something away. Love will only be alive when it is shared by two people who believe in its meaning, are selflessly loyal to each other and share one goal, one commitment.


God’s ways aren’t always easy and painless. Some are meant to open our eyes to what we do not see. Some are meant to make us realize what we stubbornly refuse to understand. But all of them will always be meant to make us stronger and better persons. We just have to trust Him on that.


You may find your way to the farthest planet and still remember him. Distance has so little to do with forgetting. This healing should begin in our hearts. Acceptance is the first step to recovery. Once you have learned to understand that this is where it ends then it is the only time when you will learn how to move on with life without having to stop every time you are reminded of the bitterness of the past.

The music stopped…and there was silence…


When we truly loved someone, we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intention. But sometimes, that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That someone must have loved us, but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt.

Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love…the more painful letting go will become…

Sometimes, we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all…for he will always be there…no matter how we drive him away…It isn’t his presence that make this difficult. It is our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts, there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. These thoughts give us hope… but also breed the seeds of loneliness and despair.

The only way to forget is to accept…and the only way to move on is to look ahead…and let the footprints of the past…be blown by the wind of time…only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life…and hopefully…never get lost again…

Tragedy of Love

They say that only time can heal the wounds of a broken heart. That time makes it easier to accept the loss of the people we love. It is a chain that all of us go through – falling in love, getting hurt and vowing not to love again, promising not to love again, and becoming miserable all our lives. It isn’t easy getting up on our feet after a crippling fall, but there is just no other way but to stand up and move on.

Nobody wants to become unhappy all his life. All of us know how love can bring magic into our lives. Have you ever realized how good it felt, waking up in the morning, knowing that somewhere out there, there’s a person who’s also thinking of you and feels exactly the way you do? Doesn’t it feel good looking forward to being with that warm sparkling glow in each of us?


Love brings us on the top of the world that we can conquer just about any obstacle that may come along our way. It is a great feeling love is. There’s probably nothing else in this world that can compare to this. There may be many of us who feel that love has passed us by, and finding someone we can share our lives with seems to be such a remote possibility. We watch stranger go by as time swiftly drifts away from us.


We may be in control of our lives but we feel somewhat helpless in out relationships. There is nothing permanent in this world, and not even those we cherish will be with us forever. There is no guarantee that comes with loving. It is always a risk getting involved with someone. But it is a risk that we have to take if we want to find real happiness; for there is no gain without pain. There is no permanence without commitment, and there is no lasting love without constant sacrifice.


The tragedy of love is in getting hurt. The tragedy of getting hurt is not wanting to love again, and the tragedy of not wanting love again is in being alone all of our lives. If it is what we want to be, then we could just stay in our shell and be miserably forgotten. But if it is love we choose, then there’s a promise of a new life, the joy in being able to share that life with someone, and the hope of finding something beautiful and keeping it forever.

Sometimes we all need to be alone

There are times in our lives when we are swept over by raging emotions, times when we are overwhelmed by sadness, overcome by misery, times when we feel that we are loved only for the worth others could get from us and not for who really are. It is natural to feel this way.

Sometimes we all need to be alone, to feel blue, to feel lonely, to listen to a song and cry. Then we ask ourselves, why does the song have to end? Why do we have to cry when love is taken away from us? Why does it have to hurt when we let go of someone we love?


In a relationship we treasure, the hardest thing is to do is saying goodbye and setting someone free. For every last embrace, a part of us dies. Every tear drop that falls washes away our hope. Then, we are left with nothing but pain and bitter memories because we have lost love but never knew how and will probably never know why.


We try to get away, but every move we make somehow has its way of reminding us of our past all over again. Every turn of our head and every blink of an eye remind us of love, lost in eternity, and it makes us wonder how one person can make us feel so empty, so alone, and so desolate.


Every song, no matter how beautiful it is, will have to end on it’s last note. Like every day has its night. All that has started will have to end on its own time. It is in inevitability that we cannot restrain something that we cannot control, and just a fact that we have to accept and live up with.


Let us remember that our lives does not have to end where our heartaches begin. Somewhere, someone will come along and sing us his song of love. Someday, someone will fill our lives with joy and happiness. Somehow, we will find love again, and it will wipe away out tears and bring us the promise of a new life, a new hope and a beautiful beginning.

Life and death

Death will come to all of us inevitably just like the sunset which breaks even the longest of days. We all have to be prepared for its coming because it will take away the people who mean so much to us at times we least expect. But, no matter how tragic the loss of life can be, death will only be the way for us to live again in the glory of everything that God has promised us.

Taking Chances

Not all men are demonstrative and expressive with their feelings. Most men are afraid to open up because that makes them vulnerable and they, too, are afraid of being rejected. There are instances when a man will not be able to find enough courage to put his act together and let a girl know that he’s interested in her. It is true that finding out how a person really feels for us can be quite difficult. Everyone sends different signals and shows gestures that may have different meanings. A person may be sweet and caring even without any romantic intention.

How are we then supposed to find out if a person feels the same way we do? Should that affect the way we feel for that person? I don’t believe that the expression of our romantic feelings should follow gender rules.There is nothing wrong in being honest about what we feel. Start making yourself heard. You will never know where this road could lead if you don’t give yourself the chance to see what lies one step ahead. You don’t have to finish the entire journey. Walk half of it and let the other person walk his half. When you meet halfway then that could be that start of something beautiful. If you find yourself alone in the middle of the road, then that means not that someone to share your dreams with.

We choose to remain silent and realize the chance we’ve missed only when its too late. There is nothing wrong with letting someone know that we like them. If we find love then that could be the start of a lasting relationship. Even if we don’t, we would still be lucky for we wouldn’t have to live the rest of our lives regretting what we didn’t do and crying over the things that could have been.

Blinded by emotions

There are times when we are so blinded by our emotions. Our ability to discern the color of other people diminishes to the point when we can no longer distinguish what intentions are pure or tainted with selfishness and opportunism. Often, the more we try to suppress our feelings, the more we are tempted to see what it is like on the other end of the rope.

We do not get hurt for no reason....

God teaches us to love but allows us to get hurt because sometimes that is the only way to learn. We do not get hurt for no reason at all. We fall and stumble so we can be better persons when we stand up again. Believe that true love sees beyond the superficial beauty. You’ll know it is true when you can be plainly yourself and still be loved just the same.

Ready to take a chance again....

Most of the time we realize our mistakes only when they are too late. There are even times when we put a strain on our relationships by acting on anger rather than humility. Remember that competition in a relationships kills. If we are always driven by the urge to get even and unsurpassed then we will always be at the risk of losing rather than winning.

A real relationship cannot be built on the foundation of physical beauty. A face is just a reflection we see in the mirror. Real beauty is seen through the kindness and the goodness in our hearts. We should not be afraid to present ourselves as we are for if we are to be truly loved, we have to be loved for what we are, good and bad.

There is no wrong so hurtful that cannot be forgiven. And for those who have wronged us, the best measure of forgiveness is our ability to be able to continue to love even if we have been shattered, hurt and rejected. To love even if there are no reasons to love anymore -- that is forgiveness.

Love and to be loved

We all know that life can be full of what if’s, shouldn’t have’s and what could have been’s. All of us come to a point when we begin to feel sorry for ourselves and regret the moments when we did wrong when we could have done right. But that is exactly what mistakes are for. To open our eyes to what is right and make us realize that we always have to pay for the wrong that we do.

You were searching for love that you thought you’ll find in the foundations of a sexual relationship, but you missed out on the line that’s drawn between being loved by someone and being used by someone. Sometimes it is not love but passion that makes our hearts beat twice as fast. Many fail to notice the difference because they act based on what they feel and not on what they know.

You have been through a lot in your life. I know it is tough being alone. But you should not permit your world to fall apart just because nobody seems to care. You and only you alone can make a difference in your life. Stop being sorry for what you don’t have and start building with what you have. You may have lost a lot but that doesn’t mean that your life will forever be miserable. There is defeat only when we give up. But as long as we believe in ourselves, there will always be hope. It isn’t easy finding meaning in an existence that seems to have lost it’s direction but our life, no matter how insignificant it may seem, will always have a meaning and a purpose. The fact that we are still alive and breathing should give us more than enough reason to be thankful. Let this be our challenge in spite of the odds, to find love in pain, courage in misery and hope in a life that seems to have lost its meaning. Start living your best life now. Be kind to yourself.

Let go and move

There is nothing wrong in keeping your hopes high, but you should be able to clearly draw the line between hoping for someone who could still be yours and accepting someone whom you have lost a long time ago.


Moving on should not be a risk but a challenge. It is when you decide to stay locked forever in the clutches of this foolish desire that you will stand the risk of falling in too deep, where you may never be able to get back and start over again.


There will come a time when we will have to give up someone we love so much, a time when we will have to shove our feelings aside and let our minds and not our hearts decide for us. Don’t be afraid to lose love. When you do, it is simply not meant for you. If there was a time when you cried because you found love and lost it, there will also be a time when you can smile again. If you give yourself a chance to be happy you will experience that glowing feeling again and find the love that you can keep in your heart forever.

To be alone to be able to think

Rebuilding a relationship from a lost trust is very difficult because you have to take away every doubt that lingers in your mind. You have to believe in again and put away any thought that would make you doubt.

Being in a relationship is a constant struggle to keep the love and make the excitement of being in it endure. This is no easy task. We sometimes get to a point where love simply becomes inadequate to prevent us from experimenting on new relationships.


Sometimes we just have to be alone to be able to think what we really want in life. To be able to realize what or who will really make us happy. Sometimes it is only when we start loving ourselves that we are able to realize that real and lasting happiness starts from within ourselves and it becomes even more complete when we share it with someone who loves us more than we love that person.


Why does love always hurt?

Sometimes, it really makes us wonder why the people we like only as friends are the ones who show interest in us and those we like treat us only as friends. Why can’t we just like somebody who would also feel the same way for us? It doesn’t always happen that way and that is the reason why people who fall in love get hurt. They allow themselves to get emotionally attached to a person and they begin to expect that they would be treated differently from the others.


But, the fact is, more often than not we would be attracted to a person who probably wound want to have us only as a friend and nothing more. There could be nothing wrong with this but the thing is, it is sometimes hard to interpret the meaning of one’s actions.


The problem lies on the fact that we have special feelings for that person and most of the time, we put so much meaning to the way they treats us, when the truth is "we are just friends". We usually go one step ahead of the real relationship that and begin to expect something beautiful from it.


Then, we get disappointed when we realize that there were no special feelings after all. It was simply a story of a great friendship.

The truth hurts but it is the only thing that could set us free. If friendship means a lot then, have to accept the fact that you should not entertain romantic feelings. You have to treat only as a friend and nothing more. I don’t see anything wrong in telling how you really feel but don’t expect anything in return and don’t make feel obliged to acknowledge it. Just let know, so you can finally be at peace with your self. Let us always remember that every tear of sadness that we shed for a person we love is a capsule of memory that we have to leave behind. We fall in love so that we will learn , we get hurt so that we will become strong, and we cry so that we can let go and find our place in the life of someone who will love us the way we want to be loved.
