love heartbreak differences
Maybe the difference between first marriage and second marriage is that the second time at least you know you are gambling.
contentment heartbreaking glitches
The Yogic path is about disentangling the built-in glitches of the human condition, which I'm going to over-simply define here as the heartbreaking inability to sustain contentment.
love heartbreak wall
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
love heartbreak sex
Only the young and stupid are confident about sex and romance.
love heartbreak plans
Love renders all of our plans and all of our hopes a gamble.
love heartbreak wall
every healthy marriage is composed of walls and windows. The windows are the aspects of your relationship that are open to the world—that is, the necessary gaps through which you interact with family and friends; the walls are the barriers of trust behind which you guard the most intimatesecrets of your marriage.
love heartbreak talking
The act of quiet nighttime talking, illustrates for me more than anything else the curious alchemy of companionship.
love heartbreak choices
There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are.
love heartbreak definitions
By unnerving definition, anything that the heart has chosen for its own mysterious reasons it can always unchoose later—again, for its own mysterious reasons.
love heartbreak being-alone
Sometimes life is too hard to be alone, and sometimes life is too good to be alone.
love heartbreak intimacy
Every intimacy carries secreted somewhere below its initial lovely surfaces, the ever-coiled makings of complete catastrophe.
love heartbreak taken
Desiring another person is perhaps the most risky endeavor of all. As soon as you want somebody—really want him—it is as though you have taken a surgical needle and sutured your happiness to the skin of that person, so that any separation will now cause a lacerating injury.
love heartbreak real
Real, sane, mature love—the kind that pays the mortgage year after year and picks up the kids after school—is not based on infatuation but on affection and respect.
love heartbreak karma
When the karma of a relationship is done, only love remains. It's safe. Let go.
