ihatelove Neil Gaiman / Rose Walker quote about how horrible love is

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. Nothing should be able to do that. Especially not love. I hate love. ” ~ The character "Rose Walker" in The Sandman #65

  1. THIS FCKING POST MADE ME SO MAD. LOVE IS NOT HORRIBLE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THINGS CAN MAKE YOU JUST AS SAD AS THEY MAKE YOU HAPPY. LETS ALL STOP FEELING SORRY FOR OURSELVES THE BOAT IS STILL SAILING WHETHER WE GET ON IT OR NOT.

  2. So true, yet...why live without love? Live without feeling that wonderful feeling? Love hurts...and most of the time it doesn't work out the first time yet theres always more, don't close yourself up just because you got hurt, whats life without a lil pain?

  3. Love is a better thing u can have in life. when love comes it is wonderful. no matter what will be later. the present is only importent thing.i have never fell in love and it's really sad.

  4. I just went through heartbreak and I totally understand this, it makes all the right perfect sense. I feel like in the society we live in today, girls are meant to believe that, you must cry and go through heartache and mental torture just to find that one guy, your soulmate. It's insane, yet I do it, I go through it everyday.

  5. True, for every person that finds true love there are dozens destroyed by love, it is malicious. It builds your hopes and quells your fears then just when you think 'I belong' it rips your heart out and says 'but I still want to be your friend.

    Its like your parents telling you your dog is dead, but you can still keep it.

  6. To the damaged heart, love is the devil's playground. Forget about it. There is only repeated crash & burn. Heal yourself somehow and get in touch with the love that is actually within you, which only appears to come from another person while you are in a state of disconnectedness, hurting and hating yourself. It doesn't come from someone else when you "fall" for someone. This is illusion. They only trigger what you have lost touch with inside yourself.
