Dear Abby on uExpress: "DEAR ABBY: Please answer a question for me. Why do we fall in love with people who we absolutely, positively cannot have? -- HEARTBROKEN IN INDIANAPOLIS
DEAR HEARTBROKEN: You have asked a question for which there is more than one answer. Some people do it because they don't recognize the warning signs quickly enough to back off before becoming enmeshed. Others can't resist a challenge. And still others do it because -- believe it or not -- it's less threatening than falling in love with someone we absolutely, positively CAN have."
Oh Abby, I think I would just simply say Love is Blind. I think we have all been there at one point in our lives. Made me think of Kate's character Iris
Don't you just loooooove that movie? I could watch it over and over. Who hasn't felt this way:"I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind." Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. It's called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded.....And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life!.....All beccause I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back." - Iris
One of my besties Lauren sent that quote to Micaela and I in an email a couple of weeks ago. I love our daily exchanges Lo :)
