    In that case, should I charge interest? ;)

    If you ever come to Edmonton with your new girlfriend, I'll treat both of you to dinner, the $10 can go towards the bill. :)

    Love is really what you make of it and to make it more simple, love is true love when you don't need to question if it is or not. True love is when you can be honest, faithful, and true to that person as they are to you. If there's any doubt it's not love.

    I'm back for a minute, just checked in.

    What do you do? Stop thinking about it! ;)

    I know it's hard, we can't help our thoughts, our feelings, you can however decide what to do with those feelings, how to direct them.

    An example;

    I lost both my parents to cancer, they died 6 1/2 months apart from each other. We were very close, I'm an only child.

    For a long time I felt nothing but depression. I isolated myself from everyone, even my husband and my son (he was 2 1/2 when my dad died, 3 when my mom died). I let my feelings control me, take over my life.

    Every time I though of my parents I cried. For weeks I didn't eat, hardly drank anything, was prepared to just lay down and die because I couldn't imagine living without them.

    One day, as I lay in bed (that's all I did) my son Jared came up to me, stroked my hair, kissed my cheek and said a few simple words that woke me up "Mommy, please don't die, I need you". It hit me like a ton of bricks. I lost my parents, it tore me apart, but I'm a parent too, could I do that to my son? Could I tear him apart?

    It took a long time for me to stop crying when I though about my parents, but from that day forward I got up, lived, moved forward. It's been 8 years, now when I think of them I smile, remember the good times, not my sorrow.

    It took a long time to get to where I am, one slow step after the other, but I made it.

    If you think about it, losing someone you love, whether through a break up or death, is very similar. You feel the loss, the pain, the sorrow. If you let it consume you, you're only hurting yourself and those that love you. If you lift your chin and start moving forward then you'll live.

    One day you'll remember her and smile. One day you'll be content with the path she chose, because you'll have found your own path. Understand?

    So, what do you do when you think about her and feel sad? Simple, take it for what it is, it's part of the grieving process, it's part of what will help you move forward.

    Wow, mushy and poignant, I'm on a role. :)

    Chin up. Got to go back to my movie, Mummy 3, want to see what happens.

    Good night, sweet dreams. :)

    I'll make you a bet. You game?

    One day you'll be sitting on your front porch, watching you kids play, your wife will come outside, you'll look at her and think "boy am I glad the first one didn't work out!"

    Ten bucks, I'm good for it, are you? ;)

    You don't want to bet against me. You'd lose your entire budget! (regarding my life story).

    So, why do you think that True love is only in fairy tales?? And what is true love to you??

    Peace and kindness be with you.

    Yes 'most of them had rough relationship', that's why I am pointing on the link.
    Plus, my own experience with love. Well, the only place I've seen, heard and read about love is fair tale stories! In real life I haven't found such a thing. Not ever, starting with me and including all my friends, relatives, colleagues... everyone I know - they are either divorced or they live with their 'significant other' just because they're too weak to divorce!

    So, the true love is when somebody is ready and DOES sacrifice their own life for the person they love. I am talking here about relationship love.

    And what is true love to you? Have you found it? Ever?

    P.S. I was truly looking for love all my life. So, I know what I am talking about

    Just to add: the love (in better words: happy relationship) that lasted for a limited time and broke into unhappiness - was not the love. When talking about the love, one must consider the END (and not the start or duration).

    Peace to you too.

    It took a long time to get to where I am, one slow step after the other, but I made it.

    There is a good lesson here, as we are so down after a break up, we don't always see that light at the end of the tunnel, but if we stick to the path we know we must take for ourselves, that light gets brighter.

    Love, your ex.

    Once you overcome this funk, you'll see for yourself, its much different after you have been in the light for a while.
    Two words for you! PATIENCE, AND ATTITUDE.

    Indeed.

    To find out what I think about love, look on the second page of this thread and read my rediculouly long posts. I didn't even finnish them yet. I have so much more to say ,and explain. I strongly suggest you read it, then you may understand what I think love is.

    As for finding true love, well I find that Master Yoda has a little wisedom in such cases.

    “[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.” How can you find something you don't think is out there?

    Nope, I have not found it, yet. One day perhaps, but even true love may pass, as you may understand what I mean by that after reading my 2 previous posts. "nothing gold can stay" It's a poem, but I can't recall if that's just a line or the name, I liked it a long time ago and perhaps it may shed some light on this subject.

    “Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”-Yoda
    Ok, so maybe your True love doesn't die, they just leave you, still the principal is basically the same. It is all relative my friend.

    I shall look forword to hearing form you peace be with you my friend.

    Love is well knowing that you'd die for them and when your in their arms you feel like nothing can touch yo uand if yo ujust stay there everything will be OK. Love is wanting to make sure that they are happy even if that means your not in the picture

    Indeed my little green friend is wise, and a Jedi. :)
    Bible, movie, what's the difference? ;) Wisedom can come from the most unlikely of places. Pretty much any where, if you're willing to listen.

    May the "force" be with you, my young Padawan. XD
