Don't Be Afraid to Love Again

Most of us have been hurt at least one time in our relationships. We gave our all. We trusted wholeheartedly. We believe and cared so much. Some of us may have spent years in a relationship waiting for him or her to do the right thing; ask us to marry; or to just return some of the love that we so freely gave. When our hearts were broken - we were crushed and bruised. We cried - our eyes turned read and puffy - we didn't smile - and some of us may have experienced depression. Now that years have past, we guard our hearts. We love, but not like we did before. Is this fair to the other person who wants to love you the way you loved someone else? What if you met your "soul mate" without a doubt, what are you going to do? Do you withhold that deep love that's inside of you or do you muster up enough passion and let it out? I don't know about you, but I liked being in love and when and if or if and when I meet my "soul mate" or new love, I'm going to love again without fear. If we learn to listen to what people are saying to us and line up what is said with actions, we would know if the person is real or not. I've said in other blogs to "inspect what you expect" and this is no small task. If you want to know if he or she is the one, monitor their actions and monitor their words. Don't be afraid to love - just learn to love more carefully the next time.
