Failed love is not just about failed romance. Failed love is about not taking into consideration the hearts of those who honestly and completely care and love for us while letting our clouded judgment of what we perceive love to be, meanwhile neglecting what love actually is.
The biggest challenge most people face is understanding themselves enough to know how to truly love and know the person you are. So many factors play a role in understanding how to love yourself and many of us roaming aimlessly through space and time seem to have not been included in this colorful cosmic joke. We look at love as some puzzle with too many pieces to keep track of so we settle for the perception of love. Truth is many people feel guilty, less than, undeserving of love, or simply lost.
How does one understand love if they don't understand who they really are?
With hope, we look into a future expecting things to mystically shift towards this invisible wall called "love" but it can't be seen with mere mortal eyes. True love, if it exists among humans, is not something that can be stored away from the eyes of the world and brought out at the convenience of selfishness and/or fear. Love is that thing that holds onto your spirit so tightly that it starts to crossover into physical manifestations. Love is powerful but delicate and paper thin. Love is honest but lies about how easy it is. Love is one of the most simplistically beautiful things in the world but also the most complicated monster we face because it, this thing we call love, can fill you with the most shockingly beautiful feelings but as you flip that coin over, love can rip the beating heart out of your chest without one surgical incision.
In my opinion, love is simply a series of moments that cause you to believe that its this long lasting organism that remains the same through time. Love shifts. I don't, however, believe that love disappears. I think love demands to be recognized even when we don't want to believe it. A person who says they hate someone they once have claimed to love, in my opinion, can't harness such bitterness if there wasn't this resentment inside for loving the person that much. I think love fuels some people's rage and hate for someone or a situation because they cannot control the situation or the people involved. I have a coworker who talks so much about disliking or hating one of the guys in the office. She has been acting like she has nothing but pure disdain for him but the next moment she's telling me she can't help how she feels. Either she's a great liar or her emotions are exposing her lie of hating him.
Do not date someone you work with. I don't care how nice they appear. Leave the office romance alone. Especially if both parties are married.
Love is strange.
Love is challenging.
Love is quite childish at times.
Love, on the other hand, is kind, warm, intoxicating and inviting.
This is why we keep returning to it.
