Risks

Life is a funny thing. Romance is something we all need and yet it is something that takes allot of work. Why was it so easy for Shakespeare to show us the tragedy of love if it is not made simple. Yet we continue to complicate the issue. We have all been hurt. We have all put trust in someone and given them all of who we are just to have them toss us aside as if we were nothing. Sure they look at us and say this wasn't easy for me either, but they didn't show signs of suffering. They moved on with there life and didn't even look back to see how we were doing. I have seen a dog run over on the highway get more concern from a stranger than most of us have from the ones who vowed to love us forever.

This is truly sad people. In fact it sucks on such a royal scale that we should give up. Being alone is better. If we don't open up, if we don't put trust in someone and if we don't give them all of who we are then we won't get hurt. sounds good doesn't it. But what happens when loneliness creeps in. We can't go anywhere in this world without seeing couples in love. The stolen kisses the hand holding, public displays of affection that either disgust us or make us go "Oh I wish I had that". Sitting in our homes when it is quiet and empty or laying in bed at night and feeling the nakedness of our lives. I myself stare at the other side of my bed and wonder if I should just be single and give up the king size cause there is no one there. Chances are no one is going to be there. Just last night I wondered exactly that and I came up with a conclusion.



"WAKE UP PEOPLE". Love is needed it is wanted and damn it we deserve it. But you cannot play it cautious that is not what life is about. Love is dangerous, Love can hurt. It's like the ultimate roller coaster. It goes up and it twists you around in ways you can't even imagine. But yeah! What an awesome ride. Sure it can make you sick. Who cares. We say we don't want to blame that new special person for what others have done but that is what we do. We say we want to take it slow and make sure it's not like before but the truth is you won't know anything until you let your guard down and take a chance. You can take it slow and wait a year but until that actual chance is taken the relationship sits at a stand still and does not become active until we let it.

So take your time and when you do take that chance let others know how it turns out. I'm willing to bet that the outcome is the same whether you risk it all at the beginning or wait. The other thing we do is pick others apart. If we can find enough wrong with them then they aren't good enough. If they aren't good enough then we can't date them and if we can't date them they can't hurt us. Who the hell thinks like that?

If you want to be alone then decide to be alone and let it be that. If someone shows interest in you then just tell them I've made the decision to be alone and walk away. But if you have even a little doubt then drop the bullshit and learn to take risks. The secret and meaning of life is to enjoy the excitement of the risks that are available to us. So I shall say it again. "WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!"
