    I think we're sometimes conditioned to do this through our formative childhood experiences. I've done this and looking back, I can see I didn't have good examples of healthy, loving relationships growing up. So seeing and accepting love, and recognizing when it's no good has sometimes been a problem as an adult.

    because that's love, i mean we can't choose the one we will love, our heart choose it and we can't do anything about it,

    Sometimes, I think it is family, and their expectations of us, pushing us in the direction of the experiences and people that they think would be best for us. And so to please them, we comply. and then end up with an unhappy mess.

    because you still remember the good things, or you would not have been with them in the first place. Judge them by their actions , not what they say, Anyone can feed you a load of baloney and not a word of it is sincere.

    Love means something different to everyone; everyone has an idea of what love is and how it should be shown; and some people mistake love for controlling others, abusing others, and having the last word on everything. Some people think that love means the other person has to do what you say, or has to be exactly like you. Some people say they love you, but their actions don't match up with their words. Some people are clueless about love, and sometimes, love is truly blind. We love who we love, it doesn't have to seem logical to anyone else. It's our feelings and our emotions. Often, we hurt the ones who mean the most to us, but not always.
