I have noticed that a lot of people that I love and care about are having doubts about their love lifes or if it will ever happen for them.  My mom and I have been talking alot about her situation and I gave her some advice that she felt has worked so far, and it seems to work for some of my friends that I have told it to, but I am sure it won't work for everyone, and that's ok, I just want to say it and hope I can help at least one person. 

 

Sometimes we feel we will never find the love of our lifes, and I think maybe sometimes the reason for this is because we are insecure about ourselves, it might even be a couple of insecurities, but I also think that if we are not completely comfortable and happy with ourselves, it will be hard to find the person we want to spend the rest of our lifes.  We may not have grown to the part of being able to handle a relationship as serious as the one who we are supposed to spend the rest of our lifes with.  There are also the givers, who give and give and get nothing in return, because unfortunately there are alot of people who would take advantage of that, mainly controlling people.  These people may find that they are happy giving and giving and not really see that there is no 50/50 there, or they may think it will happen later on in the relationship.  Love is never learned, it is a natural feeling that is just there, but respect can be learned and it can be earned.  There are all these great people in the world looking for love, and unfortunately the person you are supposed to end up with is on a different path.  I believe we each walk a path, we take a road and if it meets up with a past love that we thought wouldn't that is great, but if it doesn't then we head straight and wait to see who we bump into next.  Sometimes we jump onto another path which makes us closer or farther from the one we are supposed to end up with, and that might be because of certain circumstances in our lifes and that's where I believe the age comes in, people who are older feeling like they will never find someone, that they are too old for that. What I believe is, soulmates will meet up with each other, as time allows us.  We sometimes have to do things differently then we are used to, to find the person we want to spend the rest of our lifes with.  We sometimes have to try new things, because our same old routine might be the problem.  Sometimes we are just so sick of being alone that we settle or are blinded, that we long to be in love and when we are shown a glimse of what we could have or want, we jump on it, but find ourselves getting hurt because people will take advantage of that. 

I think once we learn from our past mistakes in relationships and have a good sense of what we want in a person and are not willing to settle and are happy with ourselves, we will find true love.  I also believe, no one has the right to tell you how many chances a person gets, it depends on the circumstances and on the person, and also what you are and aren't willing to put up with. My last piece of advice is, live life the way it makes sense for you and not anyone else.

Re: Lost Loves and Broken Hearts
So true.  Gotta love how our moms told us growing up that we have to love ourselves before others can love us.  Is this where we admit they were right?
