I want to bond with all those women, all of my sisters who are or have been hurt and let down by their trusting heart, so large and warm, so full of hope. I am sending out a warm embrace to all the women who have placed their fates and their lives in the hands of men who then left them with nothing but a fistful of broken dreams - like a million shards of a broken mirror. I want to salute all thsoe women who got hit bad and fell so hard and yet found the courage to rise again and live and laugh and love again ... You are amazing and I love you and admire you more everyday!

And a shout out to all the men who trusted a woman to come into their lives and change their worlds, to teach them the meaning of a woman's warm touch and soothing peacefulness, her fiery passions and her staunch protectiveness, only to be left stranded and lost in the cold. Lets come together and bond and give a hurray to dusting ourselves off and getting up again and trying endlessly to find the other half of our souls, our twin flames ... in this birth or the next!

While I agree with this in some part, I don't want to seem as though I am supporting a "we are weak when it comes to men and therefore men bite" kind of feeling..

Does that make sense? I think we fall victim to how we set ourselves up, and yet so many women ARE taken in my con-artist men that want nothing more than to hurt them and take their money, dignity and so forth.

At the same time- there are MANY men who have fallen victim to con-artist, gold digging women. I can't tell you how many times I have heard "our sisters" talk about using men to get them to pay for everything simply because it is the privilage of having their company. While on some level I do believe in traditional relationships, I also believe that to expect a man to be at our beck and call and yet treat us like a man in the board room leads to this mix-message fiasco we have today.

I think the shout out should be for ALL people who have been the victim of someone that used them, broke apart their heart into millions of pieces or caused them financial hard ship.

I hope all people hurt learn from those horrid lessons and make the right decision when looking for love.

More than anything, I would love for people to first accept that being on their own, independent is NOT a bad thing. To learn to love and support yourself is the first step in successfully merging with another person.

Oh, I've had a broken heart now and then. My heart's a little sore right now.

But it's never been because I was taken advantage of, or used, or been a victim.

It's because sometimes, love doesn't last.
Sometimes, love isn't equal between two parties.

This time, for me, it's because love hasn't found a way to make it work.

But I'm all for laughter and love and living out loud.

Bono's been quoted way too often with this one, so much so that it's become a cliche, but "you've gotta love like it's never gonna hurt."

I love how you look at life Trillian!!! So Aries and it's true what Bono says...besides how can we ever find that love if we are too afraid of getting hurt.

You rock!!!!! I hope you feel better. I am sorry for your pain.

I tip my hat to everyone who has been hurt and has the courage to pick themselves up, love again, try again and believe in love...

I think cynicism in love is the greatest tragedy. But it takes so much to keep believing when you've been knocked about again and again

"Pardon, goddess of the night,
Those that slew thy virgin knight;
For the which, with songs of woe,
Round about her tomb they go.
Midnight, assist our moan;
Help us to sigh and groan,
Heavily, heavily:
Graves, yawn and yield your dead,
Till death be uttered,
Heavily, heavily."

"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."

Oh boy! Sisters, sisters-- broken hearts, broken dreams, high hopes, hurt, frustration and the media-blitzed gender gap detailled in countless bestsellers.... oh boy! What a topic: relationships and high expectations for love in all its amplitudes and dimensions on the earth plane, with all our often toxic ego-stuff, alienated enculturation, mixed messages and... our inability to truly love in the spiritual sense of not being overly attached to outcome.... and not using the notion of love as a cipher for needing and drawing "energy" or identity or purpose from someone else. How many of us want to be loved so we can feel justified, feel alive, feel connected? And how many of us pass up countless opportunities to love in selfless service? Oh girls, here is someone with a Pisces Venus- Cancer Mars Square and Aquarius Sun-Scorpio Neptune Square who struggles daily with her unrequited romantic desire to deeply connect, commune, communicate and perhaps even completely surrender my deFENCES and trust a man. But... no luck on the love front so far-- although I've been married for 15 years and have 3 children, who, however, do love me and gratify my emotional needs for bonding, respect and resonance. If any of your writers know "A Course in Miracles" you might be familiar with their at once supremely simple and maddeningly difficult to practice take on love.

Thanks maya-v thats so sweet of u I think I really needed it right now
Ive had a very rocky past .... I think for the past 4 yrs not a day has gone by that I dont cry once. Its been very very difficult. I swear off relationships, then I start them again, then I swear them off. Its so painful!! First I was with someone who left me after promising to marry me, you could say abandoned at the altar?
Then, my marriage was more controversial I think...my husband was abusive but also willing to change his ways...but I still left him, and I have regrets sometimes and sometimes relief... its a very painful mix of the two...it gets very hard to pass each day by.
As for love? I absolutely believe in it...but not for myself perhaps...I dont think theres true, reciprocative love in my destiny maybe.

Count me out. In my eyes no human being needs justification for living or feeling alive. And no OTHER will make me whole. No man, no woman.

"The men and women who resists this temptation to avoid love's pain by seeking only love's pleasure .......are richly rewarded by the mastery of love's final mystery" ( I had to change it a bit - it's in The Pisces Love Mystery, Linda Goodman's Love Signs )

Loads of love from this mermaid ( i.e. me )

" Thy loving smile will surely hail
The love-gift of a fairy-tale. " ( Lewis Carroll, found it in Linda Goodman's Sun Signs )

I'm such a softy, I love this one

You all have lovely smiles, cheer up .
If you stay strong you'll be blessed

*hugs to all*

Just try to keep in mind that these things will come to be in the past...
things will somehow get better, and then these unfair things will only be a forgotten memory that may show up every once in awhile...

I know after what i've been thru I'm feeling better, so can we all!

Every woman is a goddess and thus should be treated like one.

(I swear this is the last one)

Hi maya-v, hope you feel better

Hi there from another broken heart...

I´m in the process of picking up the pieces now... This time has been worse than before... The core had been crushed badly several times, too many glued splinters... The cause was less serious this time but the result was devastating... I´m still wondering how to put it all together...

I agree with you Trillian... My moto was always: "If you want to be treated like a princess, behave like one".

I love that picture!!! In my teens I used to read the Dragonlance saga... I have that illustration book, and that picture of Laurana, Princess of the Elves, is my favourite... It simbolises so many things... The Warrior Princess...

Love to you all


---------------------------------------
"I have never wanted to be one of those girls in love with boys who would not have me. Unrequited love-plain desperate aboveboard boy-chasing-turned you into a salesperson, and what you were selling was something he didn't want, could not use, would never miss. Unrequited love was deciding to be useless, and I could never abide uselessness."
- Elizabeth McCracken

"Love is eternal -- the aspect may change, but not the essence There is the same difference in a person before and after he is in love as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning. The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light too, and that is its real function. And love makes one calmer about many things, and that way, one is more fit for one's work." - Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)

"The most difficult thing that you can do is to watch the person you love love someone else." - Unknown

"Love is a perky elf dancing a merry little jig and then suddenly he turns on you with a miniature machine gun."
- Matt Groening

hi maya-v

did you go out partying like you said last weekend? was it fun?

fresh wounds are always so immediate, intense, and colors everything a little differently than we use to see things.

don't give up living out the other parts of your life hun. it's easy to lose track of them because we just want to roll into a ball and stay in bed after something we invest so much of ourselves had died.

it sounds like you have a fiery spirit, which is good because there's energy to initiate things. but fiery spirits need to treat themselves gently from time to time. slow down and be present to all these new feelings that are seemingly out of control. don't look past them . . . see them for what they are.

all the best,

a.

Thank you for the kind words, 26T and Pid. I love you both.

Love is never wasted. I have received many blessings in this life and a broken heart is still a blessing because I loved, and love still and cherish every moment of the loving, even the difficult ones.

Hi everyone I love the quotes, the pictures, the responses regarding love and all...........it's funny because as different as all of the above is - it defines a bit of what love means to me at this time and I will fight love tooth and nail (ususally stages from swinging wildly to succumbing to the exhaustion that all produced) blindly forgetting that knowing the outcome isn't the most important part of it and totally missing the point because i haven't been open to listening - geez, what a trip. Sticking with it is the question but what's the glue this time?

as far as being taken "advantage of" by anyone - I believe that to some extent there is a part of me, a part of us that allows themselves to be "taken advantage of" as a package deal to acquiring the knowledge/lesson to be had from the person/situation that actually does the taking advantage of. Again, I fight tooth and nail (not just physically) whatever the consequences (sometimes with a deep regret and then more fire to push ahead) but in having an additional input (pun intended) you are asked, for results, to acknowledge what you are fighting for, does it make sense, what you are willing to give into, what you are willing to let go (not just physically), the ideas you keep to yourself, and all sorts of funny things like that. I say funny because when I look over why I am the way I am, do what I do, react the way I react, etc., etc., the excuses sound sooooo funny that they tend to not make sense (at times, I couldn't find an excuse) and some of them strikes up the obvious fact that it would be of benefit to more than just my ego to accomplish as a team rather than as 1 person or vice versa - yes, frustrating, I know.

So - I keep hope alive no matter how many times I trip and fall as I am a "clumsy" female snake sag / i rather think it's cute. Love is love and I mean - it's amongst very many things or is love the essence of everything? Hmmmm. I just don't want to miss it anymore and I certainly don't want to trip about it - if I wish to be strong/successful in anything, it's in working as a team. Most people start as one - this thread was started by one but as you can see, numerous other posts were added and it made it even better / i just think the same goes with many elements of existence/dimensions as well. Tough -

p.s. shamefulness, embarassment, inferiority and all them are like, killers when trying to expand by yourself or with others so........I try to let go of them first that way the door can open wider.

As far as the male/female separation concept - I am so sick of it because it comes with those........stereotypes that totally turn me off that's why I struggled with wanting it all on the strength of me getting it myself, in the first place. (i'm working through it now with lots of input - thank you very much)

by the way - love doesn't always come with roses and champagne - that ususally comes after sloshing through bs together AND separately and both of you (I am also meaning the relationship one has with self too so) are just exhausted from the comings and goings (at least once a day it came from the other) but hey - let's celebrate, I made it to home base. Keyworks oops, keywords, being I and home base. Two people could be of love but they are not love - love has got to be the "vehicle" the "building" the "vessel".
