Inquiring minds wanna know….

Is it really [i]‘better to have loved and lost’[/i]???

Or would it have been easier to have never gone there in the first place….

I’m sure sometimes a person can just move forward, holding on to the memories you shared….
But then other times the pain of loss seriously outweighs the good times you had…?

What do you think?

When I think of the biggest worst losses I've experienced my mind goes to people or pets who have died and it hurts like hell that they are no longer with us but the thought of never having known them is far worse.

When it comes to ex-partners even the shittiest ones still have a small place in my heart, when you love someone that doesn't just evaporate because you are no longer with them and although I'd prefer to not have gone through the shit some of them inflicted on me I still feel it was better to have known them regardless of that, as it's all part of what makes me the me I am today.

@AntisocialTroll agree. Can all be shitty but helps shape who we become.
