So, I got to thinking tonight. I was lying in bed, trying to go to sleep early because basically, I was tired of thinking. But when I lie in bed, that's the time when I think the most. There's no one to talk to (except God), and the only sound is the ceiling fan above me. So, what should have been a retreat from my thoughts tonight, was more of an encounter.
I couldn't sleep; my thoughts wouldn't quit coming. So I finally decided to get up, and make a post on the old bloggeroo hoping it would be a cathartic release of my thoughts to ease my mind into a sweet sleep...
The famous saying, "It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all" was on my mind as I laid in bed tonight. Now, previously, I had always thought that saying was "oh, so poetic." It is a romantic thought, isn't it? Or is is just a load of crap? I'm beginning to think more of the latter...it's just a load. I mean, if you've never loved at all, you wouldn't know what it is like to really love someone, but yet, the painful feeling of rejection would be unfamiliar. I do agree that it is a wonderful feeling to be in love, but then to feel the hurt of loss, is quite brutal to the heart.
So, I'm thinking of ditching the old poetic saying. I'm leaning more toward "ignorance is bliss..."

Mmm, I hear ya. But I'm not too sure. I think I'm probably about 50-50 on this one.
Ignorance is bliss, but I'd rather be informed than happy. True Love isn't a myth, but it sure is a cleverly written parable.
I'm split on this one.
