The kicker is that I want that same love back. I am hopeful but I have had two experiences that have taken a huge toll on my heart. I am not bitter. I am scared of feeling that love but not because my heart could be broken. A broken heart is an intrinsic risk of love because to love makes you so vulnerable. I fear all the other stuff that has happened. So I am so scared of love, but I will face the fear and try again and again if love knocks on my door because love, that one love that has it all, is worth it.<br /><br />You may be the devil's advocate but the devil you are not.

I think hope kills the soul, but we'll have to have another conversation to talk about that.<br /><br />That's a good attitude and you're right about people.<br /><br />You don't need to excuse your use for the words 'I love you', it's just an observation. In Spanish you don't tell your friends or family you love them. There's another word for that, and you don't use it all the time. The word love is used even less, most people use it only on very special occasions. From my perspective, it appears that the word love in Spanish means much more than in English. The word love seems diluted here, sometimes ambiguous or even deceiving ("I love you but I'm not in love with you"). You can say you love your dog, your meal, your pants, and every meaningless thing in the world. Sometimes people say it because they are expected to say it, or out of politeness. Like if you're in a relationship where the fire has been lost for a while, you'll continue to say "I love you" before hanging up the phone. When I say or hear the words "I love you" in Spanish, my heart burns, it's intense. In English, you say it all the time to many different people with whom you have very different kinds of relationships. Although, I understand what you say about wanting people to know they were loved, for some reason, I feel like the way the word love it's used devalues its meaning and makes it less special. <br /><br />It's just a language issue, or maybe I'm completely wrong, or only partially right. The fact is that things are expressed differently in different cultures and languages, it's not a big deal, just confusing at first. Because Spanish is my first language, I like to give the word love the meaning that it had when I was back in my country.CE54Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533958440598263972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657556200713698085.post-26173064549829937912012-03-23T22:19:05.511-05:002012-03-23T22:19:05.511-05:00That's not depression; that's hope. "...That's not depression; that's hope. "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all."<br /><br />Yes, if we're only talking romantic love, then, I could live without it. There's so much to life that I wouldn't want to give up all other happiness because I didn't have one facet of happiness. I'd like to think everyone has a soulmate but I'm not sure I'm there, yet. We shall see. <br /><br />I see so many people desperate to find love but I think love finds you when you're not looking. Kind of like the watched pot never boils thought. Of course, I want hearts and flowers and hand holding and kisses, kisses are my favorite!! and all the other beautiful things about love but I'm happy alone until the right love comes along...or it doesn't.<br /><br />I say I love you to people on the phone but only to people that I truly love. I say it to my boys many times during the day. I write notes in their lunches and I say it there, too. If I die tomorrow, I want the people I love to know how special they were to me.

I'm speaking exclusively of romantic love, and every time it is mentioned in the blog, I'm only talking about it. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment. From what I gather, you may be OK without love and affection, perhaps borderline depressed. You wouldn't stop enjoying the other things in life that make you happy, but you wouldn't stop thinking about it either. That's what I read from what you wrote. It's my lame attempt to psychoanalyze you.CE54Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533958440598263972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657556200713698085.post-18544740617424181402012-03-23T17:15:26.610-05:002012-03-23T17:15:26.610-05:00We all need love but romantic love is far from the...We all need love but romantic love is far from the only kind of love. I would never want to live without any kind of love. A lifetime without sex would make me most unhappy sometimes I'm sure, but I would keep stocked up on batteries and survive. If I were to never find a good romantic relationship I would be happy because I am content being alone. Mostly because I realized what love wasn't and having the freedom to be myself and love myself is more important than being stuck in a relationship because I once thought I had to be. BUT I hope that's not my fate because I hear love is grand and I'd like to enjoy it some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4657556200713698085.post-71120691202343901412010-07-20T18:38:17.634-05:002010-07-20T18:38:17.634-05:00Hi Cesar,

But I notice that most of them are unhappy, cause that relationships are not adding anything and they feel like birds in a cage... What a big waste of time and energy!<br />My opinion is that our happiness is made from all these "pieces" that you've mentioned, it is a state of mind and a daily decision. A relationship should contribute to your happiness, but no one should expect their partners to be their salvation and main source of happiness.<br />Regarding your friend, she'll always have a special place in your heart, there is no doubt of it. <br />Hasta luego!! :)Karinahttp://www.facebook.com/karina.dienernoreply@blogger.com
