“When you’re in love make sure you really are in love and not just in love with the idea of being in love. “

 Like many negative things in life we tend to cling to pain, we hold on tight because we fear that change. But letting go of pain is hardly an easy task, because that would mean we have to give up the feeling of being loved, the feeling of being wanted and even needed even if it only lasts a moment, the attachment that comes irrevocably with the pain as well as pleasure is a strong one. It’s that one good memory that keeps us holding on through all the other bad experiences, its that fear that even though we are barely happy in the situation, at least that person has stuck by your side, we feel we are not worth better and stronger love, we feel our demons are too dark for any other person to ever accept, we fear change, …..WE FEAR.

I think of all the times I have been told that I’m beautiful, but I just can’t help but wonder how much of me you really see? My eyes are the windows to my soul, yet so few people around me actually look within me, maybe your afraid of what you will find or maybe it’s easier to communicate on superficial levels, whatever the reason I can tell you this, you don’t know me until you’ve dared to look within me, until you can learn to look past my smile and see me for me, all of me, until you reach that point, then and only then will you truly have showed me you love me.
