Love and Relationships

    Love is interpreted differently for people based on their own experiences. Some say it’s beautiful, some say it hurts, even some say it’s their religion. Ya’ll know I believe in God with my whole heart, therefore my basis on Love is centered on scripture Cor. 13, go check it out!

 Over the 31 years of my life I’ve formed many relationships, relationships with friends, family, and strangers. Though all did not last, I must say there were all equally important to me.  As a matter of fact, they each taught me lessons which developed my interpersonal skills.

I love the idea of love and I like when it’s pure with good intentions. Unfortunately, everybody doesn’t experience it this way; sadly, everybody was not taught how to love correctly. We all deserve a pure and happy love. I know! We cannot control the circumstances which results from giving love but that shouldn’t deter us from receiving it.

 From all the ships, romantic relationships seem to be the one that involves the most emotions. You give the other party your trust, your words, your time and your security. Basically, your whole self! Imagine giving someone your most valuable gift then they turn around and burn it. That’s what it feels like. This could rip your heart apart and possible leave deep cuts and wounds that may take a very long time to heal or may never heal.

 I too, can identify with the pain and serious implications that are caused of not receiving what I thought would be great. This has happened to me over and over and over again. That is sometimes caused by expectations.  At least once in our life we have all fall in the trap of expectations.  Admit it, we see  it all played out  in our heads, we can predict the time, the year and month then somewhere along the lines this does not go as planned and this can hurt pretty badly.

It is hard to ignore the emotional wreck that is caused from romantic relationships; however, it’s our responsibility to take care of our mental health in the process. At the end of the day it is imperative that we have peace of mind. We all deserve a peace that will enable us to function. I actually have a lot more to say about love and relationships but since this is the part one my story I think it is safe for me to end it here.
