Love Happens

When you least expect it, life will introduce you to someone you didn't even think could exist. Your ideal kind of person, the kind of person that you catch yourself thinking about. The kind of person that you just want to listen to all day, because what they have to say, has some great importance.

We live in a day with online-dating, social media, and this anti-social stigma due to technology. So it doesn't happen as often, but you can be walking down the street and meet the person you've been waiting for to enter your life. You can ride your bike, and notice the person. You can be walking into a store, and catch a glimpse of the person you've been dreaming about.

Truth is, love actually does happen. You just have to give it time, and let your destiny unfold. Don't try to force the outcome, don't try to project your desire onto the wrong person, because that just leads to disappointment and heartache.

I am not in love, and I don't know why I felt inspired to write this today but I will say this, if you are single, and feeling lonely, and as if no one will ever want you- don't doubt yourself and stay true to who you are. I can assure you that there is someone out there who will appreciate you for all that you are. The good, the bad, and the other baggage we tend to carry around with us.

I recently met a guy, and for anyone who knows me, that is nearly impossible to do because of my busy schedule, and the beauty about this guy, is that fate just happen to let our paths cross. I am a strong believer that everything happens for a reason, but I am excited to see how this new found friend and I turn out.

I am in no rush to get into a relationship, but for all you other single people, who, like myself might think of giving up, and just focusing on your career, know that it will happen when you least expect it. Know that love happens after all, as long as you let life take you there, and don't try to micro-manage every aspect.

The only way to let live,and let love is to be open to all the possibilities around you and know that there is someone out there, waiting to cross paths with you.

Deny Every Feeling

Nothing is harder than admitting that something has a greater affect on you then you would like. So how do you pretend it doesn't bother you? You deny every feeling that tells you otherwise. Yes, it starts by lying to yourself, and that's okay sometimes.

Truth is, being in denial can be a double-edge sword; negative side is the fact that you are ignoring the reality of the situation, and the positive side is that you are protected, at least for a brief time.

I struggled with something recently, it required me to be honest and open, but some words I wouldn't say, and I had to fight back some tears. I don't know why the situation was bothering me so much, because I really don't care-- oh perhaps me saying "I don't care" was just my way of denying the harsh reality. I still think denying every feeling is better than admitting how you truly feel, because if you were to admit everything at once, it would leave you EXPOSED- open, vulnerable, and prone to more pain.

But what happens to the words unsaid? The sentence you wish you could have formed in your head, and spoken aloud?

You swallow them, compress them deep within your core, and you ignore every gut feeling telling you to say them. Deny every feeling, and in time, they should fade away, at least from the surface, and buried too deep to be seen ever again.

It is hard, to deny something that is true. But life has a way of working itself out, and denial is just a phase--one I am willing to live in.
