"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up save in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis"We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities." - Jacques Maritain"The art of love ... is largely the art of persistence." - Albert Ellis-----------------------------------------------------------------
Should I persist then? Or simply just give up??? Many have told me to just put it down...to stop all the pain and hopefully, find another who will treat me better. My brain tells me to stop as well. But my heart says to perservere and to fight on for the one that I love. Sigh. It is a difficult choice between what I want and what I should do. However, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I will still strive to fight for what I want.
