here's something i'd like to share.  it was forwarded to me through text a couple of weeks ago by an old acquaintance.  it's from the movie, meet joe black.  though i haven't had the chance to see the movie, what the line states is what i think is the basic truth about love and falling in love.  nowadays, people seem to be too careful in taking risks when it comes to love and relationships.  i can vouch for that because i did the opposite and i always end up on the losing end, but that doesn't matter anymore.  what's important is you stuck to your guns.  so the qoute comes from william parrish and he says,

"love is passion, obsession, something you can't live without.  if you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with?  fall head over heels.  i say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back.  and how do you find this person?  forget your head and listen to your heart.  i'm not hearing any heart.  run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back.  because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without this.  to make the journey and not fall deeply in love–well, you haven't lived a life at all.  you have to try.  because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
