So it's been like a year since I write.  Now, if anyone that's reading this is expecting me to talk about what I've been up to, go ahead and stop reading now cause that's not why I'm writing.  Earlier today I was talking with someone and I said something I felt was something I needed to write down because while I was saying it, it hit me as a realization of my own beliefs.  So here goes:

 

In the eyes of the universe, man is a lowly creature.  For us to feel love for one another is an amazing gift that God has allowed us to have.  In it we may see a window to the heavens and partake in the presence of the divine.  In our ventures we should not be afraid to open up and make ourselves vulnerable.  To do so is a gesture of our deepest affection.  For someone to know our darkest secrets or what we hate of ourselves is not weakness but strength. 

 

While what we hope for may not always work out, we should not fret.  Never regret the love and affection you show to another.  Every second that we love is a gift in which we have God in our hearts guiding us along and that can never be wrong.  To regret our show of intimacy would be to doubt the Almighty and discard his love of us. 

 

During the conversation I was having earlier with my friend she mentioned to me that I should go back to someone I once had affectionate feelings for and ask her back for a gift that I had given to her.  It is true that the gift had a tremendous amount of sentiment for me as it was something I received from my favorite high school teacher that is no longer alive.  When I gave it away it was a token of my love for that girl and it was to serve as a remembrance of me no matter what happened.  From there on out it was hers to do with as she pleased.  Albeit I wouldn't mind having the gift back, I do not regret giving it.  I don't regret the love I shared and I don't regret the outcome.  Sure it did not work out as I wanted to but the experience was truly valuable and has helped mold me into the person I am now.  Loving someone can never be wrong.  Even Christ gave his life for those that did not love him.  Sometimes it means doing the same in giving that affection to someone that may not return it.  The important thing is, we show it. 

 

Don't ever hold yourself back.  Don't hide yourself from others, don't let pain take control over you, don't be afriad to love.
