Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have three "Great Loves". Each one greater than the one before. The thing about a "Great Love", is that the dreams don't ever end. The heart never fully recovers. Sure, the longer you are separated, the duller the the pain of losing them becomes, but you never forget a "Great Love". The pain of losing them, is never completely washed away. My first one ended almost 20 years ago. Yet still, she will creep into my mind on occasion. And when she does, so do all the memories. While I still hurt over the memory of losing her, I love the feeling that all the other memories bring me. Of course, like any other wound, the fresher it is, the more it hurts. The easier it is for the stitches to break. But I am lucky, especially with my last "Great Love". I have gotten the chance to really love someone. Someone once really loved me too, and that,....
....is a miracle.

Draw That Line!
It doesn't matter how right you are.. when the one , (or the one's,) you love, choose to side against you... At that point.... you have to make a decision ...ARE YOU RIGHT?!?!?..
And what are you willing to do about it??!!??!!
Sometimes it doesn't matter how right you are. You will still have to suffer the consequences... The consequences of following the choices of your your beliefs. Sometimes, you just have to realize,... you have done everything right, but it just wasn't enough! Not just enough for them, but not necessarily enough in general.
There are many factors to this outcome ... What you must decide is ... in a hundred years, will anyone give a shit? If not, then I say fuck it,.. and fuck them .. when put into perspective, they're obviously not worth it.
Perspective ... Now there is a notion.
I've fucked up a lot in my life, and I still pay for many of those mistakes. Sometimes, realizing that, doesn't make anything easier. In fact,.. when you see someone you care very deeply about, making the same mistakes, it makes it harder. Not only because you can see the mistakes they're making, but that you see that you can't stop them.
As a person who had to put my hand on the stove, to realize that they were telling the truth when they said it would burn me,... I feels so helpless, when I see a loved one reaching out for that burner.
When you already know everything, then there is nothing left for you to learn.
