is it worth it?

Is it worth falling in love with someone??

I know this is going to sound very pessimistic, but everything comes to an end...it's inevitable. Some things just last longer, but there's always an end.

Why love something or someone just to have your heart broken when they go away? Why put yourelf out there like that? Why allow yourself to be vulnerable?

I was just wanting to see other people's opinions on this... and maybe enlighten me on this particular topic.

Ok, I'm not gonna lie, even at its best love hurts like a bitch. Being away from someone, or seeing them in pain when you care about them so much will KILL you. But at the same time, it's so worth it. I've fallen in love three times, and at least for the last two times, I can say I'm all the better for it. As a person, as a friend, as a lover. It's also helped me change my life, it's given me a motivation to live. To be honest, if I didn't have my boyfriend right now, I'd probably be dead.

We've been through a ton of hardships: miscarriage, substance abuse, self-harm, being poor, being sick, being depressed, being apart and hardly getting to see each other when we're together, parents who mistreat us, and much more. I wouldn't take any of it back. Half of it would be there even if I wasn't with him, and I know for a fact that he's gone from being depressed to being a pretty happy guy in the time since I met him. We were actually friends before we were together, and he was still usually cheerful, but there was a certain spark missing. To think that I am his 'spark' honestly gives me a reason to live.

I'm really kind of a loser, and without him, I don't see a future. Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to get on my own feet emotionally and all, so I don't have to use him as a crutch for the rest of my life, because that's not how relationships should go. But he gives me the motivation to live for myself as well. That's the thing.

Some people are better off alone, but being in love is amazing. It can absolutely be worth it.

I agree with this. It can change people's lives for the better, a lot.

Of course everything ends, but thats all the more reason to enjoy things while they last, including love!

I don't think it is, but that's my opinion.

it's worth it in a very very weird kind of way. Kesha put it best when she made the song "your love is my drug." in a way it kind of is. being in love releases all sorts of hormones, dopamine i think it is, is one of the ones that makes you feel like youre ontop of the world.
that, plus having someone you can just be yourself around, tell anything to, etc is a feeling unlike any other. But with all good things, theres the bad... breakups can rip you to pieces (it did for me atleast. it depends how invested you were into the relationship), altercations can be a lot more dramatic, and all around emotions are a lot stronger when the love is there.
if i had the choice to do it again, i would. falling in love i mean.

It comes with it's risks, I'm not as weak to let myself down for a single person, but it is worth it to love someone, since both the people in the relationship will have something to learn from that. And knowledge is power.

Agree with this one a lot.

It's not the end that one looks forward to, it the thing I always say, "Live the moment"

Love isn't about waiting for the end (break up, death, divorce, etc) but it's about the present. It's about knowing that you are someone which someone wants, about knowing someone is there for you, about knowing that there is someone which is close to you.

It does come with the hardships, but it's the hardships as well which keep a relationship burning. It shows that your other half (Trying not to be cheesy) really is, your other half.

Some people do prefer to be alone, and that's okay too. Some people are already content, but as we all know, we are not perfect and it's our other partner which makes us complete.

U dont realy have to ask yourself that question. If u meet the right person u will fall inlove if u like it or not :)

yes there is a chance of getting hurt, but there is also a chance of being extremely happy and making wonderfull memories together.

I'm going to use the cheesiest saying ever... but

"It's better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all"
