There Is Never A Loss In Love

The more I grow the easier it is becoming for me to see that things fit. Life happens the way that it does for a particular reason. To teach us,to fill us, to challenge us, and to change us. Physical Seasons don't leave the environment unchanged, and neither do the seasons of life and love leave the individual unchanged. Each relationship means something. Whether it be there for a moment, or for a lifetime, there is a purpose. Even if it's a relationship that comes and goes (flows in and then back out of our lives) it's purposeful. There is a reason, and I think the hardest thing for a mind to manage is allowing those relationships to flow freely into and out of our lives. We resist when we should give in and hold on when we should let go. There is nothing wrong with knowing the value of those relationships and knowing that the love that exists between two hearts will never dissipate. It'll never go away, and ignoring it won't help either. I believe that when we give a piece of our heart to someone, we don't truly give it expecting to get it back, and if do, then it's not true.

I want to be the kind of person that can allow those relationships, in all forms, to flow as freely as they are meant to in and out of my life. And I want to be able to understand that the love that is shared is never lost, and that the individual that I am only gains from it all. I don't go for the whole "It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all" because when you truly love, there's never a loss. There is only gain. People may move away, or you "break~up," or die, or a host of other things may occur, but when you've opened your heart wide and loved someone, there is NEVER a loss.
