Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rel" data-source="post: 1765803" data-attributes="member: 99">Here's the thing (Ok, maybe not THE thing, but A thing anyway, and an important one):  If you are a basically decent human being then I figure that you deserve to be loved.  There are all sorts of scumbags out there who manage to find people to love them.  So if you're above the level of the average scumbag, you probably deserve love too.Now you may not think you deserve to be loved by someone, but you're wrong.  You know there are good things about you that somebody might like to share in and be a part of.  And you have the capacity to love those good things in them.  But the kicker is, as Clint Eastwood once said in a movie, "'Deserve' ain't got nothin' to do with it."So that brings us to this:  You can't win the game of love if you don't play.  You may not play well.  You may not play often.  You may not play long.  I have known people who did not play well, often or long.  They found people to love and to love them.  But if you don't play at all, then you ain't gonna' win.  Period.You think it is painful to go up and talk to someone?  Or ask them to dance?  Or see if they want a cup of coffee?  Of course it is.  The world is absolutely stacked to the ceiling with people who do it all the time and it sucks when they get rejected.  It hurts and they feel terrible and for a while they hate that they feel like they have to play the game at all.  Then they go do it again.And the reason is very very simple.  It is because love is the best thing in the world.  And when you find it, you'll thank whatever powers you believe in that you found the strength to go through the sucky pain of rejection all those times because it is just that great.  Nothing in this world is more worth living for than love.  You'll never be sorry that you went after it and you'll always be sorry if you don't.Good luck.</blockquote>
