'Tis better to have loved and lostWhen I'm having a personal pitty party, I would have to say that I don't agree with that. At least not completely.
Than never to have loved at all.
The love I have for my family I would never, ever trade. The love I have for dear and wonderful friends sinks deep into my soul. The love I've felt for "that one", I treasure. And yet it is in this particular regard that I question that quote. Because now, instead of just wishing and wondering what it would be like, I know. And therefor I know what I'm missing. I know what I will likely never have again. And that, that feeling leaves me wishing at times that I had never known that level of love.
And yet, if I had it to do all over again, I think I would make the same choice because of the joy and the connection I felt. Because I was a part of something that truly had meaning, value, and connection.
I guess I'm thinking sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
Pitty party over.
