10 Reasons Love Isn't Worth Your Time
http://www.rawstory.com/

I've got nothing, I will always think love is worth it, no matter how broken I get.

Not what you were expecting were you? You'll find that's pretty common around me, you will get used to it. Love is a beautiful, fragile, crazy concept, but I believe no matter how low you might get, love is always worth it.

To me love is acceptance, honor, respect, everything good in humanity. That warm feeling you get when you look at that someone special, you know who I'm talking about. Love is the reason people try to be good, it brings out the best in us. It's accepting someone despite their faults, being there for them unconditionally. And it goes both ways. How could that ever not be worth it?

Love is not strictly for relationships either. It can be for many reasons. You love both your family and your significant other and your best friend. All very different types of love but they all boil down to the same thing. Who you love and why you love them does not diminish the value of it.

And this is the part of the segment where the cynical one in the back pipes up and says "but love hurts, why be hurt time and again?" Well to you I say that there is a flaw in your base assumption. Your assumption is that it is the love that hurts, but it isn't. What hurts is how we deal with it when it ends. Just like everything else love comes and goes, waxes and wanes, it takes effort to keep up for long periods of time. Unfortunately, when it does end humanity as a whole doesn't handle it too well. We become vindictive and angry, sad, and insensitive. We don't deal with the end very well, that is why we feel pain. It is not the love.

Whomever you love, keep them close. Just because something ends is not a reason to forgo the entire experience. It might be scary, you might have been hurt before, but love heals that. It's unfortunate when it ends but we move on, we find others to help us through it, then we love again.

Love makes us better people. The warmth we feel, we try to get better for the one we love. With love comes compassion and hope. People in love will change the world. Love shows us the best in someone and brings out the best in you. In our darkest moments love is the light that shines through the cracks. To feel loved feels like being truly accepted for who you are.

Call me a sap, call me naive, what do I care. When you finally find that warm, caring, feeling of acceptance you will know what I'm talking about. And it's one of the best feelings in the world. Love will always be worth it to me, no matter how many times it ends, how much I get hurt, love is not the problem. Love is an amazing feeling,

Peace my friends, keep on doing you, don't let anyone hold you back, and love a little while you're at it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
