No, I don't. My secret weapon??? Love myself. No matter where I go, there I am.

No, I do not. -In the Master's service. Thank you and God bless you!

A heart that never breaks is a heart that never lives. Think this is from a US song, but it's true.

I think it's a self fulfilling prophecy to believe that and it's also an easy trap to fall into. If you think something you love is going to go away, you're more likely to push it away before it has chance to go away of it's own accord. Except some things aren't going to go away of their own accord, so there's no reason to push them away. So on some level I believe that, yes...thus far it's been accurate. I also know it's untrue and I try to interrupt the pattern of thinking when I can, before I *make* it come true.

They go away, your love remains.

It always does and nothing is going to change my mind about it. Love isn't worth it anymore. So, fuck it.

Everything goes away in the end, you die don't you? Someone who never takes the risks, or is unwilling to completely fall apart and have to pick up the pieces again is someone who is afraid to really live. you can't hide in a shell, things go away, feelings don't.

Yep, sorry, I do. I can't put it any better than one of my favourite singer/songwriters (an Irish guy called Emmett Tinley) did when he said in his gorgeous song, 'Polichinelle':- "Are you ready to believe it's true, that everything we love we lose?" He certainly hits the nail on the head there. Hard, I know, and some people can't face up to it, so they spend the whole of their lives with their heads buried in a desert of lies and delusion. But truth always catches up with them in the end. Read some of the great existentialist novelists and philosphers like Arthur Schopenhauer, Albert Camus, Friedrich Nietzsche, Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, and best of all, the brilliant Romanian pessimist, E. M. Cioran, and see what they have to say. Oh, and listen to the superb UK folk-noir band, Songdog, whose glorious, melancholic music is the loveliest stuff ever written in answer to this question. Just a couple of their lyrics:- "The paint's been flaking on my life for years" "Everything just fizzles out" Yes, EVERYTHING. The only consolation I can give you is that we're all in the same boat.

No in the end you take your memories with you and if you die and have told someone else they live on. If you remained silent the spirit of that love remains in the universe. :)

If I would believe that then I wont do anything. I wont work. I wont love. I wont make friends. Thats hard. We have to have faith in life. No matter how cruel it may be.

Love is eternal. Dependency isn't.
