is love enough to live on?

[daised]

what if you love someone, but they don't make you grow as a person? what if this person is a bad influence on you? i am so confused.

 

[Peyote Killa]

If you are with someone that "doesn't make you grow" then you are not with the right person. There should be no question about it; to fuck you need to "grow" so I mean you do the math.

 

[polarpixie]

If this person is a bad influence on you, and you have not 'grown' enough to not be influenced by them, then you try to get that person to get some help, and then you stay far far away. It's funny how when I look back and I remember my parents telling me to stay away from certain friends because they were a bad influence on me, I wish I had listened...

Many people will come in and out of your life that will help mold who you are and what you want to become. You're young and have a whole future of experiences ahead of you.

To answer your question - NO.

i guess i'm just sick of getting hurt, and being with people who expect me to give and give, but never want to give back. or they try to give back but they don't realise that when they are trying to give, they are still taking. does that make sense? i want to be with someone who asks me what I think, and what I feel. not just tell me what i should do, and what i should feel. they are my feelings, it sounds strange but growing up in a large family, my fellings are something all mine, no one elses, others can share a feeling with me but they can not dictate how i feel, or take those feelings away from me. it is my right to feel and something i cherish. no one understands that. i want to find someone, who will always be there for me and doesn't judge on looks and will always love me no matter my looks.

Love is the dressing on the salad of life.

You don't need it.

It makes you fat.

it does make sense, you will find who you seek, it just takes alot of looking. There are people out there who fit that description you just have to look in the right places

 

[Lao Tzu]

i gave up on love. it is too powerful, esp. considering how blind it is 95% of the time to things logic would normally catch.

We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot

We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

well, if you are a smart girl, keep the guys at bay until you at least get into college and see the true reality of what pigs guys are
j/k

but be careful
there are way too many bad bad bad bad bad guys out there. most will do anything to manipulate you, in many ways.
just be observant, and don't let yourself and your emotions get taken advantage of

I love that song , First song i ever heard by Jovi thanks for making me take the time and look for my cd...

And as for the love questions,
I say.. Dont worrie about it to much, i used to be so spaztic... till i deiscovered paxil.. But Love is so complicated your brain will eventually overload if you think about it to much.. but if he makes you unhappy.. then let him go.. thats all there is to it..

i dont take it but you know the guy i live with does!! he has finally shown through what i always knew was there, the kindness and loving can finally show through those damn disorders

No, I hate to tell you daised, but love truly isn't enough. You need to also have open and honest communication, trust, respect, understanding, forgiveness and patience.

But before you can successfully give all these things to another person you have to love yourself and know your limitations and accept them. You have to be secure in yourself and take pride in your own accomplishments.

Best of luck to you girl!!

[spongebob]

no, you need hotdogs and cool-aid, thats about it.

 

[redhotavenger]

well.....

If you love someone and they love you, you should be with them no matter what. Thats what people look for all thier lives. And sometimes when people find each other, they get confused. And start questioning thier love and if it is right. Watch the movie A beautiful mind. And that might help you a bit.

 

[StoneColdGold]

Of course love is enough. Unfortunately, what you are describing is not love, in my opinion. You can call it affection, attachment, deep concern, etc. But love does not hurt you or take from you without giving back.

As much as I love the Bon Jovi lyrics, that is a description of two people who hold each other up. Not one person who holds the other up, and one who pulls the other down.

 

[Pamela]

I don't think love is enough..

I think it's so important to like the person you
are going to be with the rest of your life.
