Falling in and out of love

With life, with people, with activities..

I find something to love quite easily, and I love wholeheartedly. That's why I'm always very wary of how much of myself to give. I tend to fall out of love as easily as I fall in to it. To safe myself from any possible heartbreak I assume.

In the past this lead to not doing anything at all, afraid that I might end up hurt or disappointed. But the moment I started to realise how strong I can be, things started to look up. I've been able to give more of myself to myself, - and others - I've stopped hiding.

Now how do you give more of/to yourself? There isn't a right way, or just one way but to me that is by always trying to stay true to your inner voice, your gut feeling. You. Weighing out what the consequences could be on the long run to how badly you want something right away. Not thinking about anything at all and just bluntly stumble upon new adventures. Not caring about what anyone around you thinks of your actions as most of their judgment is based upon their beliefs and not yours.
I finally found a way to stay at balance with life.

So if bad/sad things happen now, like learning that a door actually closed behind you while you were looking in a different direction, it doesn't mean that life is over. That path just might not have been the right one after all and you're all the better for it when you leave it behind.

So even when you hear that someone wasn't as into the thing you were having as you thought you were on Friday the 13th, Saturday de 14th - of February - doesn't have to be bad ór sad, it simply made way for new possibilities! New adventures, new people.

Still not a fan of hallmark day, but I do root for love in every possible way. Be it for a significant other, family, music, a pet, arts, food, activities or life itself, to love is the best feeling there is. I guess devoting a day to that emotion/feeling isn't such a bad idea after all.

Happy valentines!
I choose life as my valentine as we are in it for the long run anyways!

Be kind to yourself, we all deserve it.

Love,
Anouk
