Yes love is hard, very hard. There is no way you are going to love and not get hurt, so it is better you do what is best for you and leave the rest. Actually in my life today, i used to be lonely cos I'm alone and the main reason why it as been like that is that i dont want to hurt anybody or become the source of hertbreaks to anybody. Actually my heart as been broken several times by friends, families and very close people. But you know what the knowledgeable one says, "they says you will get to where you are not going before you get to where you are going". As i am nobody will ever passed through and will not gain alot of positive things in me. But the moment i noticed i have been used alot that was when i stoped myself being used. But there are a lots of people with quality benefits, they will surely have there own disadvantages too but have later learn to know when to stop. Thats just the way it is
