I've loved and lost. Once I loved than lost the same guy about three different times (I'm clearly a masochist when it comes to him, which is why I don't talk to him anymore. That and he's an asshole). While the losing is hard and hurts and sometimes you wonder if you'll ever make it, I have learned from the different experiences and I am able to recognize what I want and need in a relationship and I've gained the courage and self-respect to walk away when I'm not getting it, and, luckily it worked in my favor because when I walked out of those other men's lives, I walked right into my boyfriend's.
