Gotta weigh in on the side of better to have loved & lost. "We can only experience heights of elation equal to the depths of our past despair".
Don't know who said it, but I've always liked that one. I am grateful for the strength I've gained from putting my heart back together when it was broken. It's never easy, it always takes time, but it can make you that much the better for it, if you let it.
Interesting thread!
