It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all

The Cost Of Loving Someone
weknowyourdreams.com

It's a feeling that almost every person seeks in the life time: love. The beauty of love is that it takes form in a variety of forms-- parental, friendship, relationship and many more. The power of loving someone and having someone love you back is an unbreakable bond-- an almost inexplicable sentiment. However, there is a cost when you love someone.

One of the most terrifying costs that comes with loving someone is the the possibility of that person being gone. The thought of someone being out of your life-- whether that be through passing away or breaking up-- is enough to shake you to your core. When you love someone, they take a piece of you whether you like it or not. They hold an inexorable bond to you.

When you love someone, tough choices become way harder. You understand that just because you love someone, it does mean you have the choice to keep them around if that's not what they want. It's what all of the cliches say, if you love someone set them free; if they're meant to come back you you, they will.

The purpose of saying all of this is not to scare anyone off from loving someone; it's more of a forewarning. You can't fully love someone unless you love yourself.

When it comes to love in a relationship, it's imperative to reach a certain maturity. Since there is so much to lose when you love someone, it's important that this is taken into account.

There is nothing more beautiful and wholesome as the feeling of loving someone.

Never let the unknown determine your actions because you could be missing out on one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life.

Yes, it's scary to love someone. There is so much to lose, but there is so much more to gain.

As they say, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
