welcome to the bloggy.. i got a million things to do today, and no time to really spend getting them all accomplished. Yet i write....
ya know, for the longest time i truly languished over the concepts and theories behind LOVE, but never did I even contemplate those intermingled with BEING REAL. hmmm i was the thought that pressed against my frontal lobe this am as i pondered how so many of us have SCREWED THIS UP ROYALLY.
ya see, love is so complicated, and dont try to convince me it is not; that it is quite simple and a natural thing.. lemme just say that anything so powerful that is totally out of your control can get complicated believe that. Out of my control? yep.. you have no say on WHO LOVES YOU, and to WHAT DEPTHS THEY DO..all that you can do is to either love them back, or let them know as soon as possible that you aint there yet-or never will be there...
Yet we take this complicated natural occurence, and then envelope it with the most VAGUE modern term we can find...BEING REAL -- hmmmm I tried to get my head around that this am and im still working it ..so sit tight while I walk it out ...
The white picket fence --- ever envision your love as being so? I for one have done it, and now I can safely say Im far beyond ever making that mistake again. For i now realize that, love actually has no model. it only has a begining. I cant put it in a nice little box and say "this is what my love it all about and what i truly want" no more than I can encapsulate the universe. The perfect marriage or relationship is frought with the ups and downs that emotions and the naturalness of LOVE brings. I had to learn the hard way that LOVE is the true testament of hope and faith and that one is always challenged by such. Somethig is always challenging your hopes and your faith..tugging at you, wanting you to give up and give in. It is truly up to you to keep on and to fight the good fight. Finish the race!! ... yet in our haste to find that "PERFECT LOVE" ..that "CAMELOT" we tend to be quick to forfeit all that we have been through just when the challenges get hard. What does that truly say about you, and your faith? That when times get rough you succumb, that you give in to temptation that you basically say "who cares"
Do you not have faith? Do you not have hope? Do you not have love?
Keeping it real in regards to love, speaks to our abilities to always be ready for the challenges that our reality presents. To not abandon our friends in their bouts of despair; to not bow to the whims of others who want no good for us; to forever be vigilant and prepared for the trials and tribulations that negative karma will bring... I say to all of you reading this, that being real starts within..If you want someone to be REAL with you in matters of love, make sure they first are real within themselves...that they know and understand how to love themselves and appreciate all that comes with such.. that is how you keep it REAL in love.... anyone who tells you different has never been through it, and lived to tell the tale! ...
I wont ask you the obvious.. i will just leave you with this..
Got Reality?
