Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no diff...erent from any other stupid person, wanders into
your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something
dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love
takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness,
so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter
working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the
mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

Exactly how i've been feeling lately .
