It Ain't Easy . . .

Having another sleepless night. I fell in love today. Perhaps that's the reason my mind isn't allowing me to sleep. It feels so wonderful to fall into love so freely and to lose myself.

A timeless devotional love. Words so filled with emotion that the heart beats to eternity. Lost in the infinite possibilities of hopes of a brighter future.

Truth be told, falling in love is a giant leap of faith. "I know it isn't easy to give up your heart." The weightless feeling of floating in the electricity of love.

Never looking for perfection in myself or others. "Nobody's perfect. Trust me, I've learned it." Learning from our past and letting go of the negativity to which we held so tightly on.

To give of ourselves to someone else is the ultimate love. "I dare you to let me be your . . . Your ONE and ONLY." The ultimate freedom to give our hearts; even the broken jagged pieces.

In the end, love is the light in this dark cynical world. Light your path, believe in yourself and love unconditionally.

Things Come & Things Go


Recently, I went through my "Friends List" in my Facebook account and deleted people that I no longer talk to. The majority of these people were for games that we needed neighbors for and others were random requests. Yet, out of all these there was one that was just time to let go.

He's probably reading this now, but perhaps it will shed light on why I deleted him. I consider friendship a two-way street. Meaning, there are no regulations we have to abide by in order for our friendship to remain. I wouldn't ask someone to be a "secret" friend. To only converse with when it's convenient for them. It isn't fair to me. Either I'm a friend or not. I will not be treated differently from others. No more.

The blame doesn't belong to him alone. I was the one who AGREED to this "friendship." So, by the same token, I can leave it behind me. I knew it wasn't going to workout but I held on to hope that it would. We don't always get what we want and perhaps, it's for the best. I've had my chance and it didn't work out. I'm okay with that. Now, it's time to finally let it rest in peace. I can finally take down the rose of a memorable time. I have my memories, I don't need a faded crumbling rose to remind me of the good times I've had.

Here's hoping to a brighter future and a farewell to yesterday.
