A beautiful write but I don't think I'm ready to love ,at least not for now,the last person I tried loving did a number on my heart.

Chubhie:
Have gone through amazing transformations and have discovered to self love and not seek it outside. It over flows and spills to all Gods creature without expecting nothing in return. It will be a cosmic injustice to pour it all on a single soul!!!! I'm afraid and really afraid of getting involved romantically with the wrong person cos all I now represent could be made a mess of. But most times, you wished you had that ONE you let into that private place of innocence and experiment as little kids in a vast universe filled with endless possibilities. Mum wants cute grandkids and I've told the universe to re align and fish a match cos I don't have time to work on a raw material anymore. If it doesn't happen I'm still committed to self love and spreading goodwill amongst Gods beautiful creatures. Only by cosmic intervention have I held out for so long.
@FirstEmboldened
Yes and No to that.

@Purpled --- now you know the reason for my "no" at first emboldened smiley

@SecondEmboldened
So, what if the universe has plans that don't align with your dictates at face value, even when you both re working towards a common goal?

@3rdEmboldened
If it happens now, honestly, do you think you'd recognize it?
Don't you think you've shut out that part completely?
For someone with this kind of thought process and big heart, I believe Love can happen to you.
Question is; Is your mind, your seat of awareness prepared?

@Cwaya @Ela
If it takes that route, it's become an obsession of sorts.

LordReed:
Your experience may have been bad but believe me it's no reason to give up on love. Don't love because the person is good or beautiful, love because you have it to give. Be you every time, not letting what someone else is cause you to hide yourself.
hmmm, word! I will put this to practice, thanks.

Yeah, I apologise. I guess that was a bit childish of me but you played maturedly.

I'd however chip in this: Love is both underrated and overrated and I guess the reasons for this is because we're too self conscious about our actions and also of the other party. As humans we tend to avoid being hurt over and over again so it all boils down to our innate desire to be loved and appreciated. It's a process, albeit a hard one. But the truth is, you can't keep doing something the same way over and over and expect a different result. Tis a universal philosophical theorem.

Try new waters, explore, be carefree, lower your inhibitions, but be on guard for any 'reddies.' Travel.

And please, stop reading them romantic harlequin novels. They subconsciously do more harm than good.

Quit procrastinating. Do the deed. That charming nigga is just around the corner, also pissed that all women are the same.

Permit me to call you a nice loving witch.

How did you manage to write this? It feels like an x-ray of my entire emotional system and soul,was done by a doctor and His findings and prescriptions,written on a sheet of paper. That sums up what you wrote up there,for me and I think it might be same for a lot of folks out there.
I'm an empath sir. More oft than not, I live my life through others smiley

My own definition of love,is: living(L) on(O) venomous(V) emotions(E).
It becomes venomous when it is one sided and self seeking and self preserving.


Loving truly with your whole heart,consumes you and if it ever turns sour,it becomes a bad venom that tears people into shreds. That's the simple reason,why people hardly get over heartbreaks;the venomous emotions destroys their souls(most especially when they've given their all). We eventually find ourselves,protecting our fragile hearts and even when true love shows up,we tend to excuse ourselves from his presence for the fear of going through experiences from the past. But in our quiet moment,we sit and wish he's actually with us,we talk about how much we want him and all that. It's a scary crazy world we find ourselves in.
Scary, yes. But that's why you and I are here.
Let's be change. Let's be the true love that our world desperately needs.
Let's let go of our fears and hurts and try again.
While at it, let's apply wisdom and follow our innerlight.

As for me,I love to love and wanna be loved back whole heartedly,I've got pure and genuine love to be given to the special one who deserves it,and I expect same. Irrespective of all the hurdles on my way to attaining this,I'd still give it a try. I'd try till I can no longer try and that would be the day my breath ceases.
This is my stand too.
As 2015 approaches grin grin

When you love completely and you receive the same kind of love in equal dose and measure,the kind of happiness you derive from it,would supersede the type you get from earning a fat pay. Reason is,it is unconditional.

You people make love sound so mathematical, philosophical and complicated.

Damn, love is love.

Re: Why So Afraid? by IamDejman(m): 9:34am On Dec 27, 2014
We think up all possible and impossible reasons in the universe why we may not be right for each other, even when our heart clearly thinks we are. We think of the scores of guys and ladies we might be liking at the same time like we do eachother. We practically kill a love so innocent and budding with our bare hands, because we can't stand going through the pains --- again. We have somehow developed a tradition of getting out, even before going in. (Sigh).

Happened lot of times this year!!! cry

I read your article about virginity and to be honest, i didn't get anything from it. Not everyone who is virgin is happy with it. There are those who are happy staying chaste and the are those who are just not happy!

LordReed:
We are afraid to love because we are afraid to be naked. We cover ourselves with lies and deceptions so much we are afraid to look at the things we hide. Even the simplest things get complicated because we need to coat everything with the "veneer of civilization", creating facades we show to the world to appear "more interesting". Is it any surprise we are afraid to love when love requires you to be beholden by the other without any deceptions? Naked?

Until we learn to live without all those coverings we throw upon ourselves, we will not love. Until we learn to be comfortable being naked we will continue to be lonely in the midst of a crowd.

Never give your love because of another person. Give your love for you. This way your love will remain true even if the other does not.

Tell me, have you ever been in love?

I don't mean showing love to the human race. I mean finding that one person you want to share your life with, and it felt like your very soul was sucked out of you.

This is so me right now, for most people(like me) its the hurt that lingers from the previous relationship. Mehn I was so hurt and I lost every will to fall in love again. The fear still abounds but maybe when I'm fully ready I would try to love again. Good write up, you have spoken well.
Thanks Sir.
