To love and lost...

We have several experiences in life dealing with love (some more than others). Some cases have serious commitment and attachment to them, with a willingness to sacrifice anything and everything. Other cases are simply blown up fantasies fueled by infatuation. Regardless, the "emotion of love" is largely used in the artistic realm. Music, writing, painting, etc. I suppose the only fear is this: will your art express the elation of love achieved or the absolute anguish of love lost?

I wonder how many people truly grasp what love really is. I wonder how different art and the world as a whole would be if they did.

Heartbreak is inevitable. How you deal with it is the key. Just as easily as people's writing is rejected, some people just aren't suited for certain others. That doesn't mean there should be a bitterness there, but rather encouragement that there's still someone that will fit, even better than before. I'm preachin' this just as much to myself as anyone else who cares to read it.
