A Message on Life and Love

Anyone  who  has  gone through the agony of losing someone he loves so much
will  still  wish  against  all  odds  to  have  that  love back again. But
sometimes  a  love lost is a love gone forever. No amount of hope can bring
back  to  life  a relationship that just died a natural death. Set yourself
free, let your heart spread its wings and fly. Remember, it may rain for 40
days and 40 nights, but still it will not rain forever. One day the pouring
will stop and there will be plenty of branches where you can find rest.
 
One  of  these is where you will build your nest and start over again. It's
never  too  late.  You  may  find love and lose it, but when love dies, you
never  die with it. You cannot be a redeemer all your life. The best way to
weigh  a relationship is through the test of fire. You cannot be sober with
your mistake forever. We all fall and make wrong decisions but our blunders
are not meant to bury us deep in misery but to  teach  us  the  valued  lessons  of  life. 
Loving is always a learning
process.  With  love, we learn how to care and sacrifice.
We learn to share
and  reach  out.  We learn to be unselfish and give more than we can.
Then,
when  everything  doesn't  end well, we learn how it feels like to fall and
get hurt.
 
Learning  doesn't  have to end there. After our fall, we strive to get back
on our feet and move on. This is where we learn that life doesn't end where
our  heartaches  begin.  There's  no  future for a relationship of lies and
selfishness.  It's  true, there is life in love, but there can still be life
even after losing love if you leave the past behind and let your heart heal
and   give  you  the  chance  to  find  yourself  again.The  success  of  a
relationship  lies  not  only  in  the  beauty  of  its  beginning  but  in
its consistency.  Make  a  choice  not  on impulse but a decision based on a
healthy balance of mind and heart. Let us always remember that happiness is
not  a  matter of destiny but a matter of choice. There comes a time in our
lives  when  we  chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find
ourselves  getting so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon
becomes  a  part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts
and actions.
 
The  sad  part  of  it  is  when we begin to realize that this person feels
nothing  more for us than friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get
noticed  and  be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and
we  end  up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone you
love,  what  you  need  to  learn  is  how to accept the verdict of reality
without  being bitter or sorry for yourself. You would be better off giving
that dedication and love to someone more deserving.
 
Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for
itself.  Listen  not  only  to  your feelings but to reason as well. Always
remember  that  if  you lose someone today, it means that someone better is
coming  tomorrow. If you lose love, it doesn't mean that you have failed in
love.  Cry  if  you have to but make sure that tears wash away the hurt and
the bitterness that the past left you with. Let goof yesterday and love will find its
way back to you, and when it does, pray
that it may be the love that will stay and
last a lifetime. A person on the
rebound  could  easily  fall  for  sweeping emotions
and be made to falsely
believe  that  he finally stumbled upon the right person.
When what he just
found is only someone to cover up for the love he lost.
A person who makes a
promise with words and not with actions may never live up to fulfill them.
 
 
It's true that love can wait forever but it is crazy to stubbornly hope for
someone who doesn't even care or understand how you feel. Love makes us see
the  things  through  rose-colored  glasses.  Most  of the time, we fail to
recognize  the  danger  sign  that light up along our way. This feeling you
have  nurtured for so long isn't healthy anymore. You must realize that you
have  to let go now before it consumes you and your sanity. There is always
a  time  to  think  and stop and a time to be sensible and not to allow our
hearts  to  rule over our heads. You deserve to be happy not in the arms of
someone  who keeps you waiting but in the arms of someone who will take you
now  and  love  you  forever. If loving a person who is attached to someone
else is a crime, then, maybe, many of us would have been jailed long before
we realize what its consequences could have been. Loving someone is never a
sin. It's what people do out of love that sometimes makes it all wrong. The
selfish desire to want that person is what makes it a sin. Don't think only
of your feelings for real love  doesn't have a place for selfish people.
 
When  there  is love, there are always sacrifices. When we love someone, we
never  easily  give  up on that person. Even if we get hurt badly we always
try  to  find  a  way to ease the pain and learn to understand and forgive.
Loving  too  much  doesn't  hurt.  It  is  when  we  expect this love to be
reciprocated that we begin to seek approval and acceptance of the things we
have done and when we are taken for granted and rejected, we curse the very
same  love  that  we once freely and happily offered. Don't waste your time
waiting  for  someone who never really cared about how you would have felt.
Open  your  heart  again  and  give yourself the chance to find the man who
would  make  loving  worth  the  pain and the sacrifice. Just like anything
else,  our  love  grows weak and dies, if not taken care of. It can keep up
with  pain  only  to  a certain extent. Beyond that, it withers without any
hope of recovery and soon dies.
 
Relationships  built  on  jealousy  and selfishness is doomed from the very
beginning.  The  hardest  part  of losing love is letting go and moving on.
Most  of  us  cry endlessly over things that could have been but never will
be.  In many failed relationships,separation comes as the inevitable choice
but  moving  on  always  proves  to  be  twice  as difficult as letting go.
Sometimes, our choice to hold on is beyond thecontrol  of  circumstances. 
Letting  go  is  a  decision that can never be
dictated on us.
 
It  is  resolution  we  make  to  ourselves. Acceptance is the key to a new
beginning and time is the healer of all wounds. Even if the storm casts its
fearful shadow, there will always be light after our darkness and loneliest
moments.  There  is  always a hope for those who believe. There is always a
chance for those who try.
 
Losing  someone  we  love  may  not be a loss at all but a blessing because
someone  even  more  deserving  is  yet  to come. There is nothing wrong in
expressing our feelings to someone we love, but we must always be sensitive
to  the  signals  that  tell  us when to rationalize and be sensible. There
comes a time in our lives when we would fall for someone who wouldn't be as
interested  as  we  are  because  his Attention is focused on someone else.
There  are  many times when we love but don't get love in return. There are
times  when  the  sign  ahead says stop but we still stubbornly head on. We
would  say  our  love is unconditional, but if it really is, then we should
never  feel bad. Question is why do we get frustrated when love turns sour?
Because  we  still  subconsciously  seek  acceptance and assurance from the
people  we  care  about.  Being  in love can be the most wonderful thing we
could experience but if the feeling begins to consume our whole being, then
we  have  to stop and let our minds and not our hearts dictate our actions.
Only  when  we  learn  to accept our fate and understand the meaning of our
failures  can  we truly go on with life without having to look back and cry
over the things that could have been but will never be.
