I Like a Good Quote

"Individuals who want to believe that there is no fulfillment in love,
that true love does not exist,
cling to these assumptions because this despair is actually easier to face than the reality that love is a real fact of life but is absent from their lives."

I agree.
But, I do believe that other people will find true love and/or fulfillment in love, just not me. 😂

I've believed that very same thing at times.
I also believe life can surprise you.

Never say never 'cause one never really knows ;)

@LucyFuhr: I suppose. But after 35 years of nothing, I believe it would be foolish and hurtful to believe in love for me. 😁

You're absolutely right. Your beliefs have self preservation built into them and I'd never try to take that away from you or anyone else.

I'm all for believing what you want to believe in...but keeping and open mind, regardless.

It's hard, but I want to believe. Because (for me at least), the alternative is unbearable.

There is no doubt that love sometimes sucks.
No love at all tends to suck even more.

Not exactly what I needed to hear tonight, but I do appreciate her eloquence.
