Re: Where do lonely hearts go, can they find thier way home? Smiley17: Actually, I think this is a good place to be when you're in love. When you post it, it gives others hope that life does move on, and things get better.
You can post all of it, good and bad. They can watch you as you change, and support you along the way. It helps all those involved. :)
Re: Where do lonely hearts go, can they find thier way home? mophead123: There is no home. The home has been destroyed and there is no turning back. The path has been torched behind us all. New paths can be created of course. And there ain't no love waiting there with open arms. Were they or were they not the ones that broke it? Aren't they waiting there with a dagger in their back pocket to stab you again once you reach them.
And if somebody loves you, why do they stomp on you?
I think Whitney needed to research this thing a little better...
Sorry for the hijack...especially since it said lonely and not broken...
I tend to agree you you bjs...I have found myself over here in this section a hell of a lot more recently. Only occasionaly will I post in the tell your story here...I think it is a sign of progress if you ask me...a junior diploma if you will.

I wonder where the next step from here is? I don't remember seeing a section called "Back In Business, In Love Again."

This section does exist...you probably haven't seen it though. In the end that's what this site is all about. I don't want to pretend I am an authority by any means, but look at the top of the screen. It's a support group. The lack of visible posts in this section just implies that one has healed and can know stand on his or her own two legs IMHO.
Of course coming back and helping others with advice and feedback is wonderful..But these individuals no longer need the crutvh...maybe I am just rambling...

Whoa!!
Ok, I'm going to put a postive spin on this. There IS a home. Home is where your heart is, and if you know you're heart and can find your heart again, you'll find your way home.
The new paths that are created are new roads home, so to say that there is no home, is wrong, IMO.
Also, there is love waiting there with open arms... your love for yourself. If it sounds sappy, I'm sorry, but if you love yourself, or at least part of it, you'll be ok.
You have to depend on yourself to find love, not others.
Sure, we'll all get stabbed again, but are you really going to let that completely stop you? And if it does, do you really think you'll feel alive? Maybe you feel this way now, but it won't last forever.
The only constant in this world is change. If you change with it, you'll be ok. ;)
Re: Where do lonely hearts go, can they find thier way home? YellowJacket: It's great to be able to interact with everyone but sometimes the "Tell Your Story" threads can get you feeling down. Even if I'm okay with my situation at that moment sometimes I'll get a bit depressed seeing how others feel. All you can do to help them is post and you know it isn't enough.
This board is a nice alternative at those times because everyone is usually in a good mood over here. Like Smiley said, it's nice to see others having success. It keeps us looking to the future instead of the past.
