1. Definitely loved, though it's a mystery for what, exactly.

10. I guess I'm loved too
but I guess "I guess" is a bad sign when one says that . . .

9. Ain't love grand?
I think I'm more lovable than loved at the moment--like the two are out of whack. Maybe I'm building up a reserve of lovableness that I'll need later on . . .

6. My dear Oeditpus Rex!
Of course, you are loved!

AND.....you are not nasty! Maybe a tad bit wicked, but that just makes you more interesting!

16. Maybe, but
There's nasty...and then there's nasty.

I'll leave you to figure out which is which...

7. I'm loved
You have moved right on through "loved" and into "beloved" territory

Speaking of territory, I find myself this week in mercenary territory. It's hard to feel loved in mercenary territory . . .

I think on balance, I'm more needed than loved. I guess there's all kinds of love though, huh?

12. My dear leftofthedial.....
I've heard about my being beloved before.....

And I have a hard time figuring out if it's really true, and if so, why...

And yes, there are ALL kinds of love!

If you haven't read it, I recommend the book "The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm....

He discusses the various types of love. It is a most illuminating work!

Being needed is not such a terrible thing, IMHO....:hug:

15. does it have pictures?
:evilgrin:

I'll look for the book. Thanks!


I'm on a "business" trip ( though it's harder and harder to call it "business" when there is so little income involved) . . .

But it has provided some relative perspective in some ways. Taking inventory. Love is one of the areas that needs some serious work. And play.

17. if "they" is the right people, that's a good thing.
my problem is that some of the "right" people aren't saying that.

18. I'm currently taking
One more class at university and am staying with sister.

She goes down every weekend to stay with her boyfriend, I feel like I'm left out.

I have my parents (who spoil me) and my fiance (who talks to me every day about how to decorate our future home together). But I really wish my sis would spend one of her free days with me.

*sniff*

28. I don't mind going to a bar..
my sis stays in Providence for a weekend and I've got one last class to go... so anything that lasts 72 hours I don't mind.

I kind of miss doing something with someone. My sister's boyfriend is a real asshole.

32. By whom?
Friends and family - loved
Non-friends and family - ????
Enemies - unloved.

So, I guess I'm both :shrug:

39. unloved is not necessarily hated
the opposite of love is indifference.
