"It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." - Alfred Lord Tennyson

I think this also applies in life as general... that it is better to try and fail than never to try at all.  I have been through a lot in my 36 years of existence.  Not all memories I have are good and happy ones. Some were bad and painful, but because of those, I am who I am today. 

I am romantic, and I still believe in fairytale.  I believe that there will always be someone meant for us. That for us to be able to realize the power of love, we must experience and accept the pain that it will bring us at a certain point - may it be as little as misunderstanding on what movies to watch or as big as you caught them lying to you. Love will make you feel a rollercoaster ride of emotions. And for me, that is what makes love wonderful.
