Lately, over the past 5 or 6 months, my life has shocked me with a lot of different emotional experiences. I have taken the shots, rolled with the punches, and well, adapted. I partially believe that this is in order to grow and be stronger. I also feel that it is part survival instinct.
The things that don't kill us, make us stronger. And also wound us. I have learned that emotional pain is very hard to overcome, but it is possible. No matter what, you have to believe that it is possible!
I don't think many people will read this (I appreciate all who do but do not expect anyone to). It is just healthy to get things off your chest and not bottle up your feelings. I know that concept may sound like a weakness to some of the younger males but with age comes wisdom.
In order to be old and wise, you must first be young and foolish.
I have been lucky in my life to have found love. I knew immediately that it was real love. I took that love and I devoted everything I have and all that I am into it. The challenge is keeping it once you have it.
Someone once said "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it was and always will be yours. If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with." This quote is true however in this modern world of social media, where all your dreams and fantasies are available right at your fingertips, actually setting something or someone you love free is a truly terrifying thing. It takes not only trust and understanding but also a true "leap of faith".
In order to truly love someone you must surrender control. You have to be willing to believe!
I believe...
