Love is doing word.

Love has driven me to the point of disgust.

Love has let me find, and it has forced me to lose.

Love is the reason I've done some of the most reckless, ill considered, irrational, and just plain fucked up shit of my life.

Is there anything I can tell you about this emotion that poets, historians, Hollywood, writers, and music hasn't told you already?

Probably not.

But from a man who's a reformed drug addict, a borderline alcoholic, and pretty much intolerant of everyone else on the planet.

It's something well worth hanging onto. Friends, family, the special significant other/s. As cynical as I am, love, that emotion alone, has saved me from death and despotism.

Love has caused me the greatest pain and elevated me to the highest joy.

I don't know why I love the people I do, I just do, and I'll sacrifice anything and everything for them.

Who do you love? Do you love yourself?

If someone loves you, appreciate it, if you love someone, savor it. Because that feeling is yours, and yours alone.

Love thy self.

With all that said, I'll leave you with The Flaming Lips. I leave you with this because a friend of mine who died recently. He and I totally connected over this song when we saw them play. We may have been really fuckin munted at the time, but it's an experience I'll never forget.

squeeeb, I suspect that you're playin' the "tough guy" card.

I love many people, and they know who they are. If you asked them, they'd tell you that they know this.

I love myself, but sometimes not enough to apply the "tough love" that I need. Most folks could use a self administered kick in the ass now and again, I reckon.

There are many that I love, I don;t know if unconditional love is truly love though ...

On the otherhand, I LOVE myself. So much so, it goes on to reflect n my daily life. Perhaps it's a bad thing, I dunno ..

...i love parts of me but some things i want to change

...i love my family unconditionally

...some people are hard to love but i've found that there is something to love about everybody...with some people you just have to dig a little deeper to find it

...i believe God loves me unconditionally...that gives me tremendous comfort. He doesn't love sin but he loves the sinner...whew

no, actually i thought about it. i thought about "who do i love?" and i can't think of anyone. except my daughter, so i guess i love her. but in a "dad/daughter" way. other than her, no one.

I love most of my family.
I love my ex, though this love has morphed into something other than what it was.
I dearly love my cats. This sounds ridiculous to some, but they are the closest beings to me and the silly little runts have kept me sane and have been unconditionally loyal and affectionate over the events of the past few months. Should something ever happen to them, I'd mourn them like one of my own.

I fall a little bit in love (not the romantic kind, the family kind) with some of the kids I work with when there is just that little something that connects you. That little thing that just endears them to me.

Love has been a part of my biggest joys and lowest of all lows.
But, I'll still take it over not having any no matter what the feeling it brings that day.

I love many, I love few unconditionally, I honestly hate nobody, and I love myself more than is healthy....

This is how I try to keep it.
