So here's the thing; whether we want to believe it or not, every single one of our lives revolve around love; the love of family, the love of friends, the love of life, the love of love itself, but most importantly the love for the thought of falling into love with another. We surround ourselves daily with music, pictures, books, and movies that create the vivid depth that love brings to life. So the question is, why don't we believe in fairy tales, but we do believe in heartbreak and unhappy endings? This, to me, is a problem. Love is blurred by hate and regret, that keeps us from believing it's faithful and real. Remember, love doesn't change, circumstances do.
As little girls and boys, we were encouraged to dress up like Cinderella and Prince Charming, right? To make a fake airplane out of chairs and to use a fan as wind as it blew through our fine hair. Those were the days. I don't see a reason not to act like that as you grow up either. Why does everything have to be so serious? I continuously ask myself these things on a daily basis. Children grow up living for magic and dreams, but slowly learn that all of these wonderful things they believed in were all a lie. Lies are what make everything unbelievable. The whole world relies on "rules" that aren't even official. Nowhere does it state that wishes wont come true, or that our true love won't come walking right up to the doorstep, or that love at first sight doesn't exist. It's all a matter of having faith in what you believe in. These are things that seem so unreal to the world that nobody has the fight to find out if they exist. So here lies my point......If there is even a spark of magic that still makes you believe that true love is out there, then believe it. Don't be afraid to open your mind. Don't confine yourself to settling for ordinary. Believe in love. It may not always be the romantic, shooting star kind of love, but you may be surprised to find love through people, places, and things nonexistant in the present. Patience and love walk hand in hand. The more patience you have in waiting for a everlasting love, the greater lessons and virtues you will gain. We find ourselves living through past experiences we have witnessed, and that is what holds us back. We remember the heartbreak and broken friendships more than the amazing times we've had, which keeps us from being happy again. Just remember, love is a simple kind of complicated. Love is as complicated as you make it. When I say simple, I mean it; it is the past, present, and future that makes it complicated. So here goes nothing.....now you know what my blogs will be composed of: SIMPLY LOVE stories expressed on many levels. I hope you enjoy. <3
