Every relationship has it's bruises, open wounds that we hide beneath the hope that things will eventually get better. Some carry cuts that still sting to this very day, while others unguardedly wear their scars wide open. Every relationship, no matter how innocent, will always have it's secret. Behind every smile is a conscious questioning exactly how happy you are. With sacrafice comes progress, you lose are part of yourself so you can share it with someone else. Regardless of whether you're the type to wear your heart on your sleeves, or the type that's built a wall around to protect what's left of your heart.. Once love touches you it never really never leaves. It imprints itself everywhere in you. It's an internal reminder of the laughs, tears, joy and pain, whether you wish to forget or not - you can never deny them. Through your veins runs the memories whether you hate them or love them - you can nevery deny them. Many of us try to fight what's already inside of us because it's hard to accept that something you held in the highest degree could actually be over - but to every situation is a silver lining. Instead of dwelling on mistakes, on the heartache, on the unfamiliarity of a new found love - we should come to appreciation that we were able to witness, to experience something greater than ourselves - to love is a true blessing. Don't carry on past judgements, disappointments and bitterness. It will only hold you back and disguise what true happiness is. The more we emphasize and deterier what we seek for - the harder it is to find it. Instead, walk hand in hand with what you learned - come to the realization that better things lie ahead. Whatever we carry, phsyically or emotionally - let it be a tribute that we still stand, as believers and survivors that it is not the end. When one door closes, another door opens. And for everything that is lost, something else is gained. Because after all, you will love more than once in your life - but you will only have one love of your life.
