My Single Mom Life

There's a discussion going on about whether or not it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
I am completely surprised by the majority of the answers.

Most people are thinking it's better to have never loved at all, that love causes nothing but heartache and problems. That relationships are basically for the birds.

I've loved and lost and I'd still do it all over again knowing the possible outcome.
I feel that each relationship taught me something I needed to learn about myself and others.
That there is no greater feeling than while you are in love. Nothing more intense than loving so greatly, so deeply.
When it's over, there is no greater pain. There is no harsher emotion that tears you up and crumbles you down to nothing.

I've loved intensely a few and lost them and I'd still try it again. I'd still enjoy every second of that euphoric feeling, that anticipation of seeing the person, being with them. And if it ended, I'd fall to pieces again and pick myself back up again just as I have always done because that is part of life. You keep going on, keep trying, keep learning and loving and losing until you eventually get it right and get to keep it and always have that feeling.

I find it incredibly sad that so many wish they never experienced the love and the loss.
