"If you leave for good, it will hurt, but eventually you'll be stronger for it. And maybe you'll find your way to the kind of love you deserve."

- Angel

I don't know. I hear sentiment like this and I have to wonder. Are you stronger having left, or are you leaving strength behind, or perhaps both? What kind of love do you deserve, anyhow?

I've left love behind, suffered the unbearable agony of the loss, found it again, lost it again, suffered the - well you get the idea. Am I stronger? What did I leave behind? Did I deserve it?

I suppose in the end I am absolutely sure about the pain, and only marginally confident about the strength.
