permalink Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable, opening your chest & your heart. It means that someone can get inside you & mess you up. You build up all these defences; a whole suit of armour so that nothing can hurt you. Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your 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 & your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you, eats you out & leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ 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 real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman
