Find your love...

I have never claimed to be a romantic nor one who has a clue about the ethics of love and relationships. However, if you asked me, to make a statement or give you a definition of 'Love' , I would puff out my chest, I would straighten my back and in my most Shakespearian accent [just to make it sound a little bit more romantic and powerful] I would utter this profound statement "...I have no clue". 

I once read an article, which said, if you can define Love, you clearly don’t know what it is! Love is not something we understand, its portrayed and exemplified in various way, by various people.

I witnessed my brother getting married this weekend and to be honest, it really touched the eye watering nerve. To stand and witness two couples gaze lovingly into each others eyes and seem to get carried away into their own little magical world of private jokes and giggles as they held hands in from of their audience. "You are now husband and wife" said the vicar...and they couldn’t even wait for him to say you may now kiss the bride... Bliss! Do NOT give up on the idea of LOVE and companionship. Cherish and nuture your relationships! 

Many of us have witnessed or been involved in what we may refer to as tragic relational experiences, however I would like to encourage you not give up on idea of love and companionship... as Sara Dessen states “There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” For those who have experienced love or are currently in love, I am sure you would agree that it has the ability to ...make you so vulnerable. "It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up." (Neil Gaiman) However, this is the risk we are willing to take for the possibility of attaining the greater picture of life long companionship or marriage, happiness and fulfilment.

Be willing to be vulnerable...thats the moment where you are able to give everything you are in order to make your relationship work. We all know relationship can be a daunting exercise, however, they can also be a source of inspiration, support and a shoulder to cry on. 

Alfred Tennyson once quoted “Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.”
