Don’t Be Afraid To Be In Love

20 Jul

Posted by nick as Lifestyle Add to del.icio.us

On my recent breakup, being only human, I had moments of saying to myself, “never again”. Had I been setting myself up to be afraid to fall in love? I don’t think so, but for others, this is a reality. That they cannot fall in love, because they are afraid.

As with all things that are good, beautiful, and great, sometimes we just need to let go of our fears. The gift of love, the gift of being in a relationship with someone you care about, and hopefully someone you fall in love with, is enough for me to hope, and hold on to that hope until that day comes, when I find the right person for me.

Don’t be afraid to fall or be in love. Take it from me, after a brief, yet heartbreaking split from my girlfriend, I have come to realize all the good moments, the blessings, the undeniable love that we had for each other. To have had just one day in that kind of relationship, I think, is more than enough to take that risk, and experience this heartache.

Love, be in love, and accept love. This is the inspiration I know that has come from my past relationships. In the end, we have but one life, and if this is all we have, then experience everything, the good, the bad, and the sometimes inspirational and wonderful thing we call LOVE.

Nick,

It really does take a long time to get over someone you you truly care. I myself have felt that way. But, know what, after all that heartache, when we do find love again, it will be even more wonderful.

Anyway, I have a present, which is something really awesome, to give you. Come over to my blog and pick it up.

It’s easy to build a relationship with someone. It starts with conversation and learning about one another and you’ll find that it rapidly moves on to he-ing and she-ing as that’s how we’re all programmed. Keeping a good relationship is tougher because it seems that one person tends to think all the work has been done and a relationship is always evolving.

I loved this post so much I made sure I let my blog readers know about it and to come over and read it.

We’re all afraid to fall in love and if anyone says they aren’t they aren’t taking full advantage of experiencing life.

Who’s not afriad to fall because getting up is so hard if it hurt when you reach the ground.

It’s good that you didn’t allow the failed relationship to taint your heart.

Yes, it’s important that you pick yourself up and not drown yourself in forever sorrows. Maybe it’s just not meant to be, maybe there is someone more compatible waiting out there. But if you do not move on, you will never find out.
