Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.Hello Readers, I'm back! It's been a long time since I've gone on this blog. I've experienced so many things in my life that made me think about what the purpose is for this blog. How is it that I can always come back and open up to you all about my trials and triumphs? Well, today I've come back with a new insight.
― Anaïs Nin
Lately, I've become so cynical about love. It's gotten me frightened to no end, because like life, it's very complicated. Sometimes, you got to hate love for making you do the stupid things you do. Sometimes, we don't realize that the love we're desiring for isn't found in a significant other or a prospective one. We can find it in family, and if we can't find love in the most simplest avenues of our lives, it'll be harder for us to find the love that we deserve.
Love is found everywhere, especially in family. No matter what life throws at you, they'll back you up and will love you for who you are. If you don't accept the love of your family, whether be it friends, colleagues, or classmates, you won't be able to find that particular type of love in another person, because you'll be blind to it.
Was your heart broken recently? Do you find that you can't find anyone else as good as that guy? Did you think he's the one? Listen carefully, there's someone else out there. He may or may not come back. There's endless possibilities to this scenario. But one thing's for certain -- don't take for granted the support the system you have. There, you will find people who care about you, who listen to every word (even if they're sick and tired of hearing it), who will make you smile when you think that no one can make you, and who will love you for you. These people, my dear readers, are the people that we all take for granted. Love will always be around you. Love will only die if you are blind to the people who show you their love for you. You will heal. You will find someone new, maybe someone from your past, but you will not get through without these people. Family, whether or not they're related to you, is love.
Love is like the legendary phoenix. Amidst the ashes, there's hope...but that's only if you see it that way. Don't let it die, just find it elsewhere. This will allow you to heal, to grow, to make you stronger.
You'll get there, my loves. Take care always.
Lots of Love,
V
