Life & love

It hurts to love someone and not to be loved in return. Maybe god wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Love is when you take away the feeling, passion and the romance in a relationship and find out you still care for that person. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word and than walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we have got untill we lost it, but it's also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never assurance that they will love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. There are things you would love to hear that you would never hear from the person whom you would like to hear them from, but don't be so deaf as not to hear it from the one who says it from his heart.

Never say goodbye if you still want to try- never give up if you still feel you can go on- never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go. Love comes to those who still hope although they have been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, to those you still need to love although they've been hurt before and to those you have the courage and faith to build trust again. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. The brightest furture will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, long lost friend, lover, coworker, neighbor or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happend to you that you may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart.

Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and cheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfort, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the success and downfall you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or break your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make everyday count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Live your life with absolutely no regrets & always believe in yourself!
