falling in love and letting go...

     
Aaaaah LOVE…I know , I know it’s way too far from Valentines day but isn’t love a universal thing that exists all year round? Such a strong powerful word,easily felt yet difficult to comprehend. It could hit us in  many ways, different forms , at different times and circumstances. Love has been described in a lot of  ways, mostly feelings of euphoria and grandeur. But with love comes the bittersweet  shadow of  pain, hurt and tears.
Falling in love may sound easy but really hard to do. The greatest irony of  love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves. When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new  love, you view the past as a teacher . In the game of  love, it doesn’t really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go. You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if  his or her happiness means that you’re not part of it. Everything happens for the best. Love strives in hurting. Yes it does…

If you don’t get hurt, you don’t learn how to love. Love is like a knife.(cheesy huh?) It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always lasts for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.

Loving people means giving them the freedom to choose what they want to be  and where they choose to be.  Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way,  whether it leads towards you or away from you. Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why.If you’re not ready to cry, if you’re not ready to take the risk, If you’re not ready to feel the pain, then you’re not ready to fall in love.

You fall for someone once in a while for a reason...it isn't just random... most of the time, that      person, or at least that relationship, teaches something: to be trusting, to not be trusting, to be loyal, to be caring, to let go, to hold on, to move on, to speak out, to forget, to remember, to hurt and to  heal...or, if you are lucky, to love... and the things we take from those relationships are part of         what makes them all worth while... So let your heart skip a beat, let a swarm of butterflies fly into your stomach, let yourself feel totally and utterly happy.
At least for a moment--- you will LiVe ,  you will maybe LoVe,  and you will  LeaRN…
Life is a never ending journey, a vast world of opportunities, of circumstances.. favorable or not ,we all have to go through it…it’s all a part of the journey we call LIFE.
Just my two cents…xoxo

  1. how can your heart love someone and fall for all the wrong reasons? Its so hard to comprehend and too painful to forget cause you know you want to hang on but you have to let go. The more you force yourself to forget the more painful it can be. how is it possible to end something so wonderful, what's worst how can you forget something that can make you smile. Wish the person you love knows and somehow love you the same.

  2. this person just came then all of a sudden just gone just like a wind, yet the question remains and it haunts you forever wondering what was it for him?...you wish like crazy hoping you can find the answers yet you realize it's better not to ask cause the truth may hurt you more, how could he just come and go?...how can he just kiss and just go like it's nothing?

  3. dear anonymous,

    i feel you...yes sometimes our heart plays tricks on us and gives us all these emotions.Sometimes in reasons we don't understand, things happen ...to hurt us, teach us but beneath it all, these things shapes us in the best person we can be. pain in inevitable , so is change. Sometimes scary , but hey that is life...it is a lifelong journey, a vast world of challenges and circumstances, favorable or not its all part of the journey we have to go through.

    In time the pain will subside.Though the scars are there, as they all say , this too shall pass.

    xoxo
