I am young (24), but I've been in through a lifetime of hurt in my last relationship. We both put each other through hell. It's easy to blame him because then I don't have to deal with the pain myself, but it's really a two way street. Any relationship takes work and dedication and commitment.. sometimes one person messes it up really bad but I really think that results come from the actions of both people involved.

It's easy to say that you will never date again but sometimes the heart wants what it wants. I think of all the bad times but when it comes down to it, the love was worth it. Every happy moment outshines a bad tenfold and I take with me memories, lessons, and the knowledge that it was worth it.
