The Light of Love

We go through life, living it one day at a time, keeping a routine, to get the most out of the life, we have chosen to live, until one day, without warning, we meet someone, who sparks something inside of us, that makes us want to be the best we can be, not just for us, but in a big way for them. I never expected to fall in love again, after losing my wife, but I don't think anyone ever plans to fall in love. When you are living your best life, and you are doing so to heal those who are facing trials that you may have already faced, it creates a sense of partnership, with the one which you hold so dearly close to your heart.

I have been inspired to quit smoking, and to take my life, fully into my own hands, not intentionally by this woman of course, but the want to be better is most definitely there, and the driving passion for this want, lies in the depths of emotion which I so dearly hold within my heart for this woman.

I am very blessed to have her in my life, even if nothing more than friendship comes from our interactions, I couldn't ask for a better friend, in regards to having someone who cares about me. When you find someone whom you have such deep seated feelings for, I strongly suggest that you do everything in your power to lift them from the state of being down trodden, and lift them up to a point where they can fully embrace life again, working through the state of sadness which they may feel, due to being in an emotionally weakened state, after having just had their heart broken.

I have come to a conclusion, which is very healthy for me, and that is this, I will no longer wear my heart on my sleeve, because in so doing, I am leaving myself vulnerable to being hurt, even if it's inadvertently done by the one with which my heart has been given to. When we choose not to guard our emotions, we are leaving ourselves open to injury, and when it comes to emotional damage taking place, this is a very difficult thing to work through. I have recently experienced the pain that comes from being in such a situation, and it is not an easy scenario to tackle, but it is one that can be overcome, as long as you have the determination of spirit, and emotional intelligence, to be able to work through this type of pain.

Never discount the pain that someone else may be feeling, especially when it is so closely related, to the pain that you yourself are feeling. When we decide to work through these types of issues, as a unified front, I believe the success rate is higher, as long as you have full trust in the person with which you are choosing to work through this process with. Love is an emotion that should never be treated as trivial, and should never be taken lightly, for this emotion is by far the strongest which I have ever felt, so far in my life.

If you have a friend who is going through a crisis in their relationship, stand by them, even if you get no response from them, send them a message at least once a day, letting them know that they are not alone, for when we know that someone else is there for us, it makes it easier to work through the pain of loss, which love can create, especially when we are on the receiving end of someone else's bad day, or week. Never respond in anger, and always act in accordance with love in your heart, and in my opinion, it will never steer you wrong.
