Mariah Carey – Hero (Live)
To all of us who sometimes find ourselves lost, discouraged, & uncertain about anything or everything – “So when you feel like hope is gone. Look inside you and be strong. And you’ll finally see the truth. That a hero lies in you…”
Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: Music Box (1993)
Song: Hero
Lyrics
There’s a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don’t have to be afraid of what you are
There’s an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It’s a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Oh. Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don’t let anyone
Tear them away
Just hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time
You’ll find the way
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you’ll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Heart – Alone (Live)
Has it really been 20 years? This song was first released back in 1987… Wow, time flies!
Loved it then and love it even more now.
Lyrics
I hear the ticking of the clock
I’m lying here the room’s pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won’t end though
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
You don’t know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don’t know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone
Alone
Love Quotes
“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved— loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.”
- Victor Hugo
“Love doesn’t make the world go ’round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”
- Franklin P. Jones
“Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.”
“If you love someone, let him go. If he comes back to you, he is yours. If he doesn’t, he was never meant to be.”
“Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it’s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I’ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I’m lucky, he’ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.”
“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”
“If I never met you, I wouldn’t like you. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t love you. If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t miss you. But I did, I do, and I will.”
“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”

Lyrics
If I could turn the page
In time then I’d rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn’t find a way
So I’ll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can’t disguise
(You can’t disguise, no you can’t disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
Although I’m not making plans
I hope that you understand there’s a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes
No more broken hearts
We’re better off apart let’s give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can’t disguise
(You can’t disguise, no you can’t disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
If I could turn the page
In time then I’d rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes
But I couldn’t find a way
So I’ll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can’t disguise
(You can’t disguise, no you can’t disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can’t disguise
(You can’t disguise, no you can’t disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me, tell me lies)
Poem: Love is…
- Poem by Susan Polis Schutz
Love is
being happy for the other person when they are happy
being sad for the person when they are sad
being together in good times and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength
Love is
being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth and never pretending
Love is the source of reality
Love is
an understanding so complete that
you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is the source of unity
Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of and together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success
Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future
Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion
Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other’s needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing
Love is
knowing that the other person will always be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security
Love is
the source of life
a Jerry McGuire Moment…
I have lots of those Jerry McGuire moments. Moments where I just stop, step outside of the here and now, and listen to the inner voice asking these questions:
– Have I found my place in the world? Do I like my place in the world?
– How did I get to where I am right now? Is this where I want to be?
– What exactly do I want and where exactly do I want to be?
– Am I happy? Could I be happier?
Yes, many questions from deep within, but seldom have I had any answers. In rare cases when I do have answers and think things should be made better, I procrastinate… I do that by asking myself even more questions…
Shouldn’t we be happy with what we got? And if I am happy, why would I still want to strive for something more?!?!
Can’t we just STOP wanting and STOP chasing – knowing most of us had it pretty good…??

Jerry Maguire: The Things We Think and Do Not Say
Obsessive Love
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive_love)
Obsessive love is a form of love where one person is emotionally obsessed with another.
The obsessive lover believe that their “one magic person” alone can make them feel happy and fulfilled.
Four conditions that help identify Obsessive Love: (Forward, S. & Buck, C.)
1. A painful and all-consuming preoccupation with a real or wished-for lover
2. An insatiable longing either to possess or be possessed by the target of their obsession
3. Rejection by or physical and/or emotional unavailability of their target, and
4. Being driven to behave in self-defeating ways by this rejection or unavailability.
——————————————————————————-
My Question:
I’m still not sure where to draw the line between love and obsession? Where does love end and obsession start?

Found some interesting reading on Some Philosophizing About Love
(Source: http://www.benbest.com/philo/philove.html#obsessive)
Obsessive love is generally associated with unrequited love or unequal love.
Unrequited love is described as an individual experience rather than a relationship — a wish to love or be loved rather than love itself.
The obsessive lover lives in hope and suffers constant uncertainty about the feelings of the beloved. The entire life of the obsessive may be focused on speculations about the meaning of words & actions of the beloved.
