Love Series Part 3: Loves, likes, crushes, and the like...

"In the end, it'll be ok. If it's no ok, then it's not the end."

This quote has gotten me through a lotta bad days.

I have felt like I was so in love with someone that I couldn't see myself being with anyone else. I have felt like someone was "the one." I have felt like there was such a magical chemistry that surpasses language, cultural, physical boundaries. I have felt like I would do anything for someone. I have felt like I would sacrifice a lot to be with someone. I have felt like I needed to be with someone. I have felt like I've liked someone forever and a half to the point of stupidity.

And this feeling...it comes and it goes. It feels strong, but I know it comes and goes, and I don't take it so seriously anymore. I'll recover, I'll heal, and I know it.

Funny how serious something could have seemed at the time could be such a minute thing in life now. When I was younger, everything was so much more dramatic...so much more magnified. I thought I was gonna like my middle school crush forever...for the rest of my life. Crazy youngin I was.

But in reality, loves, likes, crushes, and the like...they come and they go.

The beauty of the human mind is that as strongly as we feel about something, we forget. Time passes by, things fade away, and we forget...that is, if we choose to...if we choose to move on and not dwell on what has been or could have been...if we look to what could be and what will be. The truth is things will get better if you let them...so let go. Go out there and meet new people, explore new places, do new activities and let go. Don't take life so seriously.

I believe there is no one you can live without...if you want to...if you make the active choice to. Time passes by, you meet new people, and you recover and life will be ok. It'll be ok in the end. :-)
