Most Famous Symbol of Love
Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. He is known as a mischievous, winged child, whose arrows would pierce the hearts of his victims causing them to fall deeply in love. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Roman’s he was Cupid, and his mother Venus.
One legend tells the story of Cupid and the mortal maiden, Psyche. Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. But instead, Cupid fell deeply in love with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him. Psyche was happy until her sisters convinced her to look at Cupid. Cupid punished her by departing. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished with him and Psyche found herself alone in an open field.
As she wandered to find her love, she came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave Psyche a series of tasks, each harder and dangerous than the last. For her last task Psyche was given a little box and told to take it to the underworld. She was told to get some of the beauty of Proserpine, the wife of Pluto, and put it in the box.
During her trip she was given tips on avoiding the dangers of the realm of the dead. And also warned not to open the box. Temptation would overcome Psyche and she opened the box. But instead of finding beauty, she found deadly slumber.
Cupid found her lifeless on the ground. He gathered the sleep from her body and put it back in the box. Cupid forgave her, as did Venus. The gods, moved by Psyche’s love for Cupid made her a goddess.

Where happiness exists, there is also sorrow. Where there is pleasure, so is pain. To get to where one is headed, one must first start the journey, and the more impatient one feels, all the more that one should learn to wait.
Waiting is hard. I feel your frustration and your pain because they are mine too. But waiting is the best thing for both of us right now, because there are still so many things we need to do.
We may be separated by an ocean and thousands of miles, but know always that my heart is with you. You are waiting for what we both want for our future, and I am here waiting with you. As long as we both know that the path we walk on is just one path, with one definite destination, you can be assured that no matter how wide the distance that is between us, my hand is firmly in yours as

A Long Journey to LOVE!
I thought that my life would remain as simple as an empty shell.. i thought that everything’s gonna be boring.. i thought life means problems and hurts and pains and tears and goodbyes. I was never happy.. yeah I did fell inlove with a couple of men before. but all of ‘em just broke my heart .. even my bestfriend did when we tried to make our relationship deeper. It was really painful and that pain made me senseless.. i got tired of gettin’ hurt.. so naive.. then i started to fail,.. i even became miserable and drowned into the tears that i shed. The faces of those men who hurt me kept on flashing in my dumbest dreams… the good and the bad memories flew everywhere with me. I almost died out of frustration and depression.. I tries my best to keep myself busy by focusing on my family, professional career and my spiritual growth… I locked myself up in my own world and shun any sorts of social activity that would remind me of my past … Yes, I felt relieved (somehow) and I moved on (somehow).. but my whole being does not only survive with spiritual, social, and intellectual things… I am a real human being… A BEAUTIFUL, SMART and LOVING person who still needs to fall inlove and need to be loved.. Yes, my life before was full of EMPTINESS.. that WAS emptiness.
i woke up one day, falling inlove again, with a very SPECIAL man.. Tha very first man that I felt EXACT CONTENTMENT. No doubt! I’ve been inlove but I never felt this security before. .. He is an ANGEL - my own ANGEL.. I thought that he is an impossible man but I appreciated more the challenge of getting involved and falling inlove with a man that you never dreamed about. .. a total opposite of those that i loved before.. he is not like any typical boyfriend that will treat their guy like prince. He treats me like a bestfriend.. he treats me like he has nothing but me.. he never makes me feel that my sacrifices would be in vain. He makes me feel important. He does not dream about me but dreams with me.. He never becomes untrue to me. He always shows the real him. No reservations.. He gradually proves that he’s responsible and worth loving for. He calls me BABY and I call him HONEY and it sounds really sweet when he utters my name.
There he was my REAL Boyfriend. I really feel the tears now in my eyes.. Thank God I really am happy now.. there really is a rainbow after the rain. I aint saying that our relationship is perfect,, but for me,, this is true happiness,, i feel no doubt.. no hesitations,, no uncertainties.. I am sure that given the chance I will marry this guy next year. I will be the his partner in life, have our own children and will grow old with Him.. I love you Alvin .. the only man outta my expectations - my love …my ANGEL!!!

Sorry, but I can’t resist to post this.
I know that it’s not a Love Message… but this history had be posted in a Blog like this.
Today I received an e-mail from Adam Donkus asking me how to be www.lovelyshairy.com Project.
In that mail he told me about his love story with Elizabeth.
I asked him if I could publish it… and here it is:
“…would love to send one to my Girlfriend Lizzie Bean whom I live and work with.
We met when I was selling insurance door to door.
I sold her several policies that day, but forgot all about her.
I do remember saying to my self, if she did not smoke.
I would not mind being involved with her.
A year or so later, I was on Yahoo dating and I met her, but did not know we had previously met.
Not until the first date did we realize we had met.
I think it was God’s will that we should be together, and I thank him everyday for bringing us together…
Perhaps that day I asked God to let me be with her, and he said wait.
The wait was well worth it for both of us, since we both had to go through some life changes before we were ready.”

www.lovelychannel.com Thank You Adam for sharing this great history with us.
All the happiness in this world for you and Lizzie

ou’ve been there with me nearly my whole life.
We made camps together; discovered clothes, make-up, and boys together; explored teenage life.
Parting for the years we studied, we kept in touch, even when other friendships were discarded along the path. Our bonds grew stronger each time we met - growing closer, not away.
In our similarities and differences, we discovered our fellowship was chosen. Maybe it has been fate’s hand, because attachments this close don’t come along so often.
I can sit in silence with you, or talk twenty to the dozen.
I can see you every day, or not for a year, and it’s like we only just parted, our conversation continuing as though there were no break.
Even when apart, our lives have meandered distant, but parallel, events echoing across the miles.
You hear me when I need to talk, and talk when I need to listen.
We have laughed, danced and eaten together, and each time there is a bond that needs no words, yet is usually filled with them.
You ‘get’ me.
You understand my wry humour, and my constant teasing, and don’t take offence when I am blunt. And as I am to you, you are to me.
You are kind, thoughtful, adventurous, caring and creative. You are a great and wonderful mother; a close friend with your husband; loving and considerate to your sisters and parents.
You are like the ‘other half’ of me. You are also the ‘other half’ of Steve. That makes you the one that is whole.
Julia, I pray for you to live a very long, long time. Who knows, with fate’s strange twists, you may outlive me yet (but… if I go first, I’ll be back to haunt you! )
Just know, my friend, the distance of death will make no difference to the way I feel.
You have always been, and will always be, my very best friend!
Thank you for being there.
Even though our life is over together, I still love you so very much.
Even though our life is over together, I still love you so very much.
I married you back in 1998, and when I said I do, I meant FOREVER.
I love you more than you could ever know.
We conceived the most beautiful children together… We’ve raised them up until you left, and I will never forget.
Even though we are going through a divorce, I love you…
You were my bestfriend, my life, my heart, my brain, and my mind…
I am still functioning without you, but it’s not the same.
I love you more than words can express.
My words at http://www.lovelyshairy.com show you that I’m trying to move on but it’s tough…
I miss the US we once were.
I will not take you back, but I still have this undying love for you.
Wish you well in life.
This morning I asked you to try us again. And you said yes, and
This morning I asked you to try us again. And you said yes, and I knew you
would, because what we felt was never gone and it was like someone pressed
pause, and I left it for way too long, because damn. You’re perfect for me. You
understands me and accept me and all my idiosyncrosies and you loves me and I
love everything you are, and you’re all I want, and I’ve missed you so damn
much, and we’re just right together, and you’d think it shouldn’t have taken me
a year to come to my senses, but I guess I’m just that thick.
And you knew, you knew all along, and you let me have my fit of idiocy because
you love me that much that you let me go when that was what I wanted, and
honestly, how much of an idiot could I have ever been?
It’s about time I made a decision that was right.
I love you. I always will. Don’t let me be so stupid next time.
My heart’s SO full of you and your love right now that even if it were
My heart’s SO full of you and your love right now that even if it were a mute bird, it would sing as beautifully as a nightingale.
This distance has more weight to your value in my life.
I feel SO LUCKY to have you in my life. You are a kindred spirit who moves me, touches me in ways nobody ever did or could, shatters my life and rebuilds it even more wonderfully.
You have a magical touch that makes me feel that I belong to and with you eternally. You have a magical key to unlock every secret hidden door.
You have a magical heart that beats similarly as mine that endears me to you.
How can I not love you?
You make me love everything that I am by loving me that way.
You’ve bared and stripped me and yet you always clothe me tenderly with your love and understanding so that I won’t feel ashamed and insecure.
You’ve let me bare and strip you and clothe you the same way, with a happy smile on your face that I love so much.
I love the way we fight together, side by side, bridging the distance and differences between us.
You truly are a gift from above, a dream I never dared pray for, yet at last you are in my arms, in my heart, in my soul, for the rest of our lives.
I thank God for entrusting you to me and for entrusting us to be together.
Let’s embrace the present and the future together, My Love, because from now on, we are one!
This song is dedicated to you:

From: Mom, 49, Fayetteville, NC
To: Jason Paul, 29, Seattle, WAWhen I look back over the last 29 1/2 yrs, I am amazed & awestruck at how quickly the time has flown by….but, the heart/spirit doesn’t always recognize the passing of time in quite the same way that our “logical minds” do… It was only “yesterday”, when you were riding your tricycle in the back driveway, playing with your imaginary friends(”Dooney” and “Mayla”)and helping me in our garden, while your big sister was at school….fast forward a few yrs, and you are running into the chain-link fence, the first time the training wheels came off of your bicycle….then a few more years pass, and we are riding off in the early morning hours, each of us on our bicycles, heading off to school and work, riding thru the cool morning mists, with the feeling of “freedom” that comes of riding fast thru the shadows of light and dark, just as dawn was breaking thru….
I know it will not be long before you are home again, but I must
I know it will not be long before you are home again, but I must tell you what your absence does to me. When I slip under the covers, the chill of your absence caresses me in places where you once caressed me through the night. I cuddle up with myself and wrap my arms tight around myself, imagining that it was indeed you who was holding me close, touching my breasts, and keeping my body secure and safe.
When I wake in the morning, I kiss the pillow where your sweet face usually lies and I strum my fingers through the image of you that I have in my mind. Baby, please come home soon. The day I said I do, and the night my body melted into yours was the day that I became one with you.
One flesh, my love. I need you, I want you, I miss you.
I know you have only been gone for three days, but these past three days have been lonely without you. You are coming home tonight. This makes me happy, joyful, and excited. My love will overflow for you tonight. Come home, honey… Your lady is waiting.
