resiliency

You never really know which words to ingest...which words will pierce your soul. I dont even know if we have much of a choice in the matter. But as a woman, a creature of love, passion, and desire I find it difficult to balance living freely and living with my heart caged off and separated from the warm promise and optimism in love. I have faith in love. I dont know how I manage to be so optimisitc sometimes considering all that I've encountered in the past. But...I have faith. I believe, just as sure as I am writing this, that I will meet the mate of my soul. The man that I will appreciate and adore.

You know they say if it was not for the rain we wouldn't know how to appreciate the sunny days. I totally agree. Plus, without the rain, humanity could not exist. All growth is possible only with rain. So with each disappointing situation, with each lie I've believed, with each person who I let enter in my heart who did not have my best interest at the forefront of theiir heart, with each relationship that I THOUGHT was the one, I grow.  It's a rough, painful, and uncomfortable process. But it's beautiful. Growth and change for the better are beautiful. To believe that we are being shaped by our experiences into a beautiful sculpture by our creator is inspiring.

[I guess I'm just venting...late night thoughts of a woman on a mission]

We as women are sometimes too READY for love. So ready, that each new man we meet that's actually talking about something...we entertain thoughts that THIS may be it, or HE may be the ONE...what if this actually could turn into something? I believe that because we internalize such high expectations about love (faith in love) that we set ourselves up to get our feelings hurt. We need to take each encounter for what it is. And initially, we just won't know what the situation is...It takes time. The reality is that this particular person may be in our life to teach us something, or help us grow not necessarily for us to grow old with.

So...

Remain resilience. continue to bounce back and grow from your experiences...

dont let your faith in love,  interfere with your faith in love...
I repeat
dont let your faith in love, interfere with your faith...in love
