I remember one of my friends said to me: "Love is overrated. It never ends happily every after; you are always heartbroken in some way because of it."
My friend who said that went into a state of depression for a week. It's really painful when somebody leaves you all of a sudden, and my friend's world shattered completely.
But it still is.. well, happy, in a sort of way. It gives you thrills in your life you never thought of and things like that, it's a nice feeling. Of course, everyone's probably had something wrong happening in their love-life, but they've always had their ups.
I've, at times, needed to have the person i loved with me when i was going through hard times, and they always seem to, well, re-inflate my life, as you would say. It's an amazing feeling you only get from love. I still believe in love, no matter what things happen.
