"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

As I read this quote I thought of him, then myself, then us. We all have issues with love, weather it's because we can't open ourselves up to the idea or because we don't know how.

Love is a simple concept, but it's very complex to understand. We find ourselves having a deep desire to love something or someone, but we struggle to actually do so. We struggle to find the job we love and that we are passionate about. We struggle to figure out weather our partners are worthy of our love. We struggle to find friends who we can whole heartedly trust in. We even struggle to find love for ourselves. Are we just destined to have this enigma of what true love is, how it should feel, and who we should share it with?

I guess the point of this blog is to say that we aren't alone with the complexity of love. Everyday we live teachs us something new, weather it's a positive lesson or a negative one depends on the day.

I'm scared, just like everyone else, I'm scared to get hurt but I've learned that, that can't keep me from opening myself up again and I wish for the person reading this, that you'll open yourself too. Here is to love and all of it's craziness.
