Does your heart sometimes just ache for things you want but can't have?

Yes.....

All the time, if I let myself......

So I try not to let myself....

But I've had some dreams that I know very rationally will NEVER come true, no matter how much I want them to.....

So, somedays I revel in my fantasies, and enjoy them....

And somedays, I feel sad......

That's just life......

:hug:

involves other people. "You can't always get what you want..."

Waiting sucks. Waiting for the thing I want more than anything, well I can't even really tell you how it feels.

you are a powerpuff girl. You shouldnt have to wait for anything. Just go take it...Watch out for MOJOJOJO though....

:hi:

sometimes daily, nightly. I can never have 'it'. But I hold close to my heart the fact that I had it once.

It's an ache that I don't allow to ruin my life. Life goes on, love keeps me strong.

NormaR, I hope your heart isn't aching. :hug:

Material things like cars or diamond rings or a motorcycle?

People aren't things.

I learned years ago to not pine for a thing. That way, I'd never be disappointed. Cynical I know, but it's the best way I know to survive.

I grew up knowing I could not have things I wanted

And daring to dream......

is to live near the ocean. Otherwise, I have everything I need!

So sad, being lost at sea like that. :hug:

Maybe someday. Maybe. Sigh.

love lost, time lost, loved ones lost...yes, my heart aches. I try to reserve a special corner of my heart for these "aches". Sometimes I go stand in this corner and cry. Then I come out from the corner and go on with this business called living *sigh*

wildhorses. :hi:

Though some days it does get too much, and I break down...:cry:

One desire is fulfilled, and is soon to be replaced by another.

:hug:

so yes, it does.

:hug:

it would some. I truly beleive the older you get the less important material things seem to be.
My focus on what I need and what I want has really changed.
Now I just try to be happy with what I have.

:hug:

It's not easy, but I'm persistent. Maybe someday....

I come so close, but always fall...

five years it's been since we were together, and i just lost her all over again tonight.

So yeah, someone to love.

:pals:

:cry: :hug:

why are so few women born with the "3-way" gene?

The man I love I can't have. I feel homesick all the time. Yeah my heart aches all day.

Khash.

I am sad for my country with this culture of corruption.
It affects me, personally; financially, spiritually, and physically yet I see and hear of others it is hurting even worse.

I am sad for future generations which will be impacted by the poor decisions and the enormous debt they will endure.

I am sad for the seniors who don't have money for their medicines.

I am sad for the millions who have lost their jobs to outsourcing.

I am sad for the countless people who are ill, or who have been saddled with medical debts.

These are only in OUR country....when you think globally, it can be overwhelming.

My own concerns seem truly insignificant when I see the big picture.

I'd have to be made of cardboard for it not to. :hug:

..."In meiner Heimat where the dead walked and the living were made of cardboard"

Guess I'll pick up that fat volume of the Cantos tonight.

Thanks.

Sure, I'll see a lovely house, a fine car & feel a bit of "Wow!" But I my heart does not ache.

There are few loves I still remember. Our "times" were not right & things didn't work out. One stayed a friend but he's gone now. Another I still might have had a chance with--but he's gone, too. Damn, I'd hoped I'd still be able to go hear him play the fiddle. (His one true love--no, I wasn't jealous.)

alive instead of gone.

My, yes.

though I often think that the reaon I don't have much of what I want is because I'm alone. Having 2 incomes would be helpful in buying a house (I want a house not so much for the value of the house, but I'm tired of being jerked around by landlords).

Of course, none of this is a good enough reason to enter the treacherous boundaries of relationship land. I'm terrible at relationships--I must be or someone would have stayed, right?

I have what I need, and for the most part, that is enough.

:(

like a Porsche 911 Turbo!

My heart aches every day for someone who I'll know I'll never have. :(

I ached to be a mother, to hold a little one close and rock them, to love them. I would cry everytime I came home from visiting a friend with children. Then I got married and I hoped. Every month I hoped for a miracle. But none came and I cried. Then we adopted a little girl from China. She is the joy of my life and, sometimes truth be told, the bane of my existence. But I wouldn't change it for the world. I would have loved to have been pregnant and given birth, but not this lifetime. I do ache for that - but I now have my little one to hold close, to rock to sleep and cuddle and love. So the ache is more of a mild pain that only pops up occassionally and less each day.

:cry:

More loves lost and hearts broken.

And sometimes, a love I wish I would've grabbed instead of getting scared and running away.

Economics keep me in Ohio.

When I read "things" it makes me think of material things... hope that's not what you meant. Bleah.

When I think "things" that make my heart ache... I think of things like: peace on earth, acceptance of people different than ourselves, understanding and real communication... etc.

But I think those things are attainable... so though my heart may ache that they're not here now, I still have hope that we'll have them one day. :)

Yes, for instance I'd like to be able to make a top level post on DU but apparently I have to do a bunch of in thread posts first...

I said...Yes, for instance I'd like to be able to make a top level post on DU but apparently I have to do a bunch of in thread posts first...

Lets see if the magic number is 5 posts!

:hi: Welcome to DU, Achilles_wf!

But it looks like I'll have to settle for revenge.

:cry:

:evilgrin:

And I have spoken my pain too often; time for band-aids I belive...

OAJD.

I rest my case.

:P

For what's been lost and what will probably never be. :(

People? Hell, yes. :(

If I were dying or died tomorrow, I'd be okay EXCEPT,...I would like to know (before my end), prolly not for very long once there, what it's like to be a "have" rather than "have not". One thing's for damn sure, if reincarnation is FOR REAL, I do NOT want to be brought back just to experience being a "have"!!!! I've been exposed to it, would like to have the experience of freedom associated with it,...but would NEVER ask to be returned to this strata of life. No, thank you.

But perhaps against my better judgment, I don't accept that I can't have them and keep aiming to have them because I am convinced that they will make my life more fulfilling

No...not since I was 15 and got to go to Yankee Stadium.





Will Pitt...just because...like Gore, he's been right all the while.
We miss you, Big Guy!
