Real love is non-existence anymore, why do most look for the mask that suits themselves and cant see the real person behind all the masks. I may have a shady past but i have learned most my lessons. Though the learning never ends. Where are those that can see past the mask and will actually give someone a chance to rise beyond themselves for the other? Non-existent

Beleive it or not. i am true love. i gave love to people both if i know them or not and regardless the way they treat me.

People are good with putting up masks to get what they want. To the point that people get heartbroken. As for peoples pasts it makes us stronger and who we are for good or bad. What ever we choose to learn from it. As for true love there is alot of us that gives our hearts to people family, friends, partners.

Because relationships take work and people want instant resaults. I dont know about you but instant anything isnt all that great, it may "hit the spot" but never compares to the real thing. The work you put into it definatly pays off. But thats why relationships dont last. Take the time to get to know him/her. I always said that whoever im with will be my bestfriend above all else. We will know so much about each other and actually take that time....for the real thing.

@JohnLS: unfortunately there is a lot of people who can't see past the shell or they judge you from past mistakes. I know how that feels. People have become self centered which is sad. True genuine person is hard to find.

@bluravenfire74: agreed and it really sucks when u can not escape your past without abandoning everything u know. Which is unfortunately what i am going to have to do. And i have become bitter but yet more open. Bitter because i have lost both of my kids 2 women and more open because i have learned that in order to truely love, in my opinion, i must love all whether i know them or not which sucks because most peoples presonalities are lacking the strength to love everyone without being all sexual about it. And that family extends far beyond blood. And with the extremities of my own personal life i find that people are esppecially lacking in loving me. For i follow a path that differs from modern human. Like i do not value possession so all i own is my clothes everything else to me is blah blah blah. And to me is a lie for control. I believe materials only have value for invention, protection, and teaching. Anything outside of that is wastefull. And in that sense i am bored and alone.
