LET GO OF YESTERDAY AND LOVE <br />WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK TO YOU". <br /> <br />For all you people who say "I love you" when you <br />have no clue what love exactly is!!! Something to <br />ponder upon... <br /> <br />Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing and <br />is your voice caught within your chest?? <br /> -It isn't love, it's LIKE. <br />You can't keep your eyes or hands off of them, am <br />I right?? <br />-It isn't love, it's LUST. <br />Are you proud, and eager to show them off?? <br />-It isn't love, it's LUCK. <br />Do you want them because you know they're there?? <br />-It isn't love, it's LONELINESS. <br />Are you there because it's what everyone wants?? <br />-It isn't love, it's LOYALTY. <br />Are you there because they kissed you, or held <br />your hands?? <br />-It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE. <br />Do you stay for their confessions of love, <br />because you don't want to hurt them?? <br />-It isn't love, it's PITY. <br />Do you belong to them because their sight makes <br />your heart skip a beat?? <br />-it isn't love, it's INFATUATION. <br />Do you pardon their faults because you care about <br />them?? <br />-It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP. <br />Do you tell them every day they are the only one <br />you think of??? <br />-It isn't love, it's a LIE. <br />Are you willing to give all of your favorite <br />things for their sake?? <br />-It isn't love, it's CHARITY. <br /> <br />Does your heart ache and break when they're sad?? <br /> -Then it's LOVE. <br />Do you cry for their pain, even when they're <br />strong?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br />Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your <br />soul so deeply it hurts?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br />Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensive <br />mix of pain and relation pulls you close and hold <br />you there?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br />Do you accept their faults because they're a part <br />of who they are?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br />Are you attracted to others, but stay with them <br />faithfully without regret?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br />Would you give them your heart, your life, your <br />death?? <br />-Then it's LOVE. <br /> <br />When we meet the right person to love, at the <br />right place, at the right time. That's chance. <br /> <br /> <br />When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's <br />not a choice. That's chance. <br /> <br /> <br />Being caught up in a moment (and there's a lot of <br />couples who get together because of this) is not a <br />choice, that's also chance. <br /> <br />The difference is, what happens afterwards? When <br />will you take that infatuation, that crush, that <br />mind-blowing attraction to the next level? <br />That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and <br />then contemplate whether you want to make this <br />into a concrete relationship or just a fling. <br /> <br /> <br />If you decide to love the person, even with his <br />faults, that's not chance. That's choice. <br /> <br />When you choose to be with a person no matter <br />what, that's choice. <br /> <br /> <br />Even if you know there are many people out there <br />who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than <br />your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate <br />just the same, that's choice. <br /> <br /> <br />Infatuation, crushes, attraction comes to us by <br />chance. <br /> <br /> <br />But true love that lasts is truly a choice. <br /> <br />Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie <br />quote that I believe is so true about this--"Fate <br />brings you together, but it's still up to you to <br />make it happen." <br /> <br /> <br />I believe that soulmates exist and that there is <br />truly someone made for you. <br />But it's still up to you to make the choice if <br />you're going to do something about it or not. <br /> <br /> <br />We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving <br />and staying with our soulmate is still a choice <br />we have to make <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6599744-107892044211431831?l=mitchteryosa.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Deric &amp; Mitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12903356897779308206noreply@blogger.com
