Joy + Pain= LOVE

Today In LATINA LAND:
Nothing happened. Went to school, had a rough day, came home, and did some things. One thing I am quite ashamed of and embarrassed to talk about. Even on the Internet, though none of you know me. I did something today that formed from last night. Last night I got off of the computer and I was thinking about my boyfriend really hard-- some of the things he's told me, some of the things we talked about doing-- and I was extremely horny last night. Not many people can say that honestly, but I was. I couldn't help it. But that's all I'm going to say. I just hope I can go to Panama next month. I still haven't talked to my boyfriend:
Everything that glitters isn't always gold,
The one I thought was right for me,
Helped make my heart turn cold,
Though I thought we'd be together forever,
I guess what they say is true,
Nothing lasts forever,
But babe,
My heart will always be with you,
You told me things no one else had,
Made me feel like the queen of the world,
What you did to me had me so depressed,
I don't think I could ever see you with another girl,
This Love thing you know,
I really thought I had it down-packed,
You've ripped my heart apart,
I don't know anyone who could actually put it back,
Whatever I did to make me leave,
I hope you forgive me in your heart,
I love you so much; I burn for you,
Can we go please go back to the start?
Though I may end up as your number two,
You'll always be my number one,
You'll always be my love,
My boo,
Even though we're not together,
I will stay true,
I'll never move on,
Forever I'll belong to you.

"When Love is a shimmering curtain,
Before a door of chance,
That leads to a world in question,
Wherein the macabrous dance,
Of bones that rattle in silence,
Of blinded eyes and rolls,
Of thick lips, thin, denying,
A thousand powdered moles,
Where touch to touch is feel,
And life a weary whore,
I would be carried off, not gently,
To a shore,
Where love is the scream of anguish,
And no curtain drapes the door."
-Maya Angelou
The bottom line is, love is something every one's going to experience. Those last lines in Maya Angelo's poem explain it all. "Where love is the scream of anguish, and no curtain drapes the door." Anyone can experience love. And anyone can get hurt because of love. You may not have ever experienced intimate love with a special loved one, but you HAVE experienced love. I don't believe it when people say that they have never loved anyone because of things in their past. Well as children, we learn to put our trust in those taking care of us, and yes we do develop some kind of love for them. You develop love for friends and family you never knew was there until something bad happened. We may try to say that love isn't apart of us, or we have no love for certain people, but trust me Love always has it's ways of showing throughout the lies. Love will show when someone gets hurt or is hurting. Love will show when you're proud of someone. Love will show when you miss someone. Well not always show. It might not always show, but you feel it. But some of us choose not to show it because it isn't cool to show love. But you know what? That's childish. We might as well show it. I know I want to be able to say I loved somebody or I LOVE somebody. I don't want to go through life knowing that I never loved anyone because I let my heart get so cold. So I leave you with this question, and maybe some of you guys can answer this question and explain your answers. Night night: "Is it better to have loved and lost, than to have not loved at all?"
