Life and Love

Ever since I was a young girl (wow I almost feel like I was about to break into song, you know which one...) Like many girls I have dreamt of finding true love. I fell in love with My oldest daughters father and eventually that went south and ended in abuse... But it was over a matter of time, so for quite a bit afterwords I had a distortion on what I thought Love was and how it responded. I then began to associate things with love that intact sometimes, often had nothing to do with love. I then went through life and loved people and thought because I loved them, ahh this could work. Then there was my most recent ex, together for almost 4 years, I wanted certain things, I was willing to settle for less and I thought this was normal. Well it may be the norm but that's because people don't know and value their own self worth and so they settle. But often we think when we love and are in love that a relationship will just work, if it is meant to be it will be and that is where the miscponception lies, it will be easy to love someone, you will be in love but the whole idea of joking two seperate lives together to make them work will take work, some pieces will seem easy to put together and some will really take some work. But can these two lives join to make a beautiful picture like the finished product of a puzzle, certainly. It's really like that saying its not finding someone you can live with, its finding someone that you cannot live without. Sometimes your paths may cross and the time might not be right, maybe someday. Or maybe God has a better plan. It's better to follow your heart risk it breaking, than to never risk it and never love at all. In every type of relationship I have had I have learned from. I have taken amazing things with me along the way. But don't pass life and love for time lines. Follow your heart, cause its better to have loved than to have never loved at all.
