it takes two

I have been in many relationships. Not something I'm exactly proud of or even frown upon. I'm pretty much neutral on this. I always get into it for it to last. I've never had a 'let's see where this goes' attitude. Let's face it, we all want long lasting things. Well most of us at least.

When it comes to committing to something I enjoy giving my 100%. I don't just give it, I ENJOY it. I guess it's the small things like making someone happy warms my heart. I think relationships are not supposed to be hard. I mean, if you love someone and want to be there for someone, it's a natural process. You naturally care for that person, naturally contact them and naturally be there for them. Anything forced will mean that the relationship is fake or pretentious.

For me, being free with emotion was never a problem. I grew up feeling lots of love around me. Family and friends and I'm big on hugs. I love hugs. Giving and receiving them. There is something awesome about hugs.

I refuse to apologize for being surrounded with love. It wasn't hard for me to feel, give or receive emotions. I do feel bad for people who aren't able to do that. I try to be there for them, try to help them discover what emotions mean and how to handle them.

I can only help if people want my help or need and ask for it. You can only help someone who wants you to help them.

I guess you can only love someone once you learn to love yourself. One must find happiness within in order to illuminate the life of others with happiness. Shit happens, things go down but that is only natural. We all need people to pick us up at some point in life. Never feel shy to ask for help. People help not because they have to. It's because they want to. And if you know you cannot make someone happy, please don't promise them the world. Instead of hurting one person, you hurt two. But things happen and we learn from it. Never regret the past. It molds the future.

Love is a big word. It takes two.
