The Truth about Love

Sometimes, Love just isn't enough. You can love someone so much, and sometimes, It just doesn't turn out like you want it to...


I don't feel sorry for myself...okay, well maybe sometimes I do...But for the most part, I try not to. I did my best, I cared and fought and loved. But at times, It's still not enough.

And now I'm hurting. Not only am I physically sick, but emotionally, I'm a mess. Every time I think I'm strong enough, I think of a memory, a moment, a look. And I fall apart again. I don't want to hide from the world, I'm trying not to. I'm surrounding myself with friends, with school, with God. But when I'm alone, there is still such a dramatic pain in my heart. Sometimes I think it's too much for me to handle, but I realize I'm not alone. I have the support of so many people that love me, I have the hand of the Father to help me up, to guide me, to give me peace. I'm a long way from being okay, it may take weeks, but most likely months. This is so much detail for something so public, but there is a hole. And I'm not sure what to do with it, I don't know how to fill it, how to use my time. I feel like my best friend is gone. Because that's what he was.

I know I'm going to survive. I know God has a plan bigger than any I could imagine. But I just can't help wondering why I have to go through so much pain to find out what His plan is. I'm always asking why. So the truth about love? I don't know what the truth is...but I do know that it's out there.

Anna, your honesty is the type that I'm looking for right now. i just want people to be able to say "its not okay...but i'm gunna deal with it" instead of pretending everything is easy and simple and good...why can't people be real.. no one is perfect, we're taught that, so why do we pretend to try to be??
I know your hurting but i'm so glad you can give it to God and know that He's in control. that's so important.
you're a blessing in my life and Im sooo glad I met you this year.
