I Still Believe

Thus far in my 34 years of life I have had my experiences with love. Some have been positive, some have been negative but I have always to the best of my ability tried to take something positive or useful from my experiences. It took me a moment to get to that place but wouldn't change anything about the journey. Yet I hear so many say they have given up or don't need a companion in their life to achieve a certain level of happiness and I wonder how can that be when the way of nature dictates otherwise. In every species there is a mate! Even in some inanimate objects there is a male and female connection. (In some cases, there is a same of the same connection if that's what floats your boat) I believe that we were not designed to live our lives alone but that so many of us fear the "what ifs" that we won't allow someone in. Yet deep down inside we yearn for a certain type of connection that is only made to share with a particular one. Love is not confined to one way of thinking or what society dictates. Love to me is an evolving opportunity to reach within the depths of your soul and allow someone to see your weaknesses, your strengths, your good side, your bad side, your fears, your confidence and the chance to nakedly expose the true nature of your being and knowing that, that person is still willing to accept you for who you are flaws and all. In everything I have experienced, I still believe that each and everyone of us has another who not only connects with us but completes us as well but we can't allow fear, pain, anger or past negative experiences to prevent us from experiencing the true meaning of Love.
