For normal people, love is pretty easy, isn't it? You meet someone and you fall in love. You give them your love, and you receive theirs. But it's not always that easy for everyone. In a perfect world, that's the way it would work, but as we all know we don't live in a perfect world.
Sometimes, circumstances and/or situations, can affect the way we give or receive love. Sometimes, we can be so damaged that giving or receiving love proves to be very difficult. Maybe we've been hurt so badly in the past, by others, that we're scared to try again. Maybe we've lost faith in the power of love. Or maybe we've become so jaded, we simply don't believe in it anymore. I, myself, have experienced all three. Then wondered, why love always eludes me. When the simple fact of the matter is that you have to be completely open to it. You have to be able to risk it all, and give your everything to someone else. It's not always easy, and sometimes, it's even wrong. But in order to find that real, lasting kind of love, we all have to be open to that kind of risk. While it could end in the kind of heartwrenching pain we don't wish upon our worst enemy, it could also end in a love greater than anything we've ever known. So, I don't know about you, but I'm going to take that chance, and just see where it takes me.
