Reclaim Your Heart

And so there are some who spend their whole lives
seeking. Sometimes giving, sometimes taking. Sometimes
chasing, but often, just waiting. They believe that love is a
place that you get to: a destination at the end of a long
road. And they can’t wait for that road to end at their
destination. They are those hearts moved by the movement
of hearts. Those hopeless romantics, the sucker for a love
story, or any sincere expression of true devotion. For
them, the search is almost a lifelong obsession of sorts.
But, this tragic ‘quest’ can have its costs—and its gifts.
The path of expectations and the ‘falling in love with love’
is a painful one, but it can bring its own lessons. Lessons
about the nature of love, this world, people, and one’s
own heart, can pave this often painful path. Most of all,
this path can bring its own lessons about the Creator of
love.
Those who take this route will often reach the knowledge
that the human love they seek was not the destination.
Some form of that human love, can be a gift. It can be a
means, but the moment you make it the End, you will fall.
And you will live your whole life with the wrong focus.
You will become willing to sacrifice the Goal for the sake
of the means. You will give your life to reaching a
‘destination’ of worldly perfection that does not exist.

And the one, who runs after a mirage, never gets there; but
keeps running. And so too will you keep running, and be
willing to lose sleep, cry, bleed, and sacrifice precious
