Heart to Heart

What is love? How do you get love, many will say how can you ask this question. Being gay I have learnt a different side of love than the so called love in the movies. At the end of the day love is really all around us, unless you’re not open to receiving it, expressing it and sharing it. If you ask me all people have is their own idea of love.
Often we get too hung up on people’s words, as opposed to their actions. Have you ever been with a guy only because you are too scared to be by yourself? I have, and so many more are doing it daily. Despite all the betrayal or loss of self confidence at times, and please do not tell me you have not felt like that at some point in your life, its funny how at the end we become better people.
As the so called month of love is coming make time to ask yourself honestly out loud what it is that your heart likes to have from love. The good news is that there is so much more love to give to yourself and the world, change getting a rose every year to giving your love and time to something close to your heart, because love is from the heart.
I have become aware during the past year that I may not work but my life was telling me to start to love my being as the person I am and so many more doors will open. I know that has opened my eyes to so much more, and what is so funny is I am in love with myself. Become intimate with yourself daily, stop searching for that special someone because that person is waiting to come out and boy you will be in for a surprise to see what you can give first to yourself and the many people around you.
To know that people care about how you’re doing when things aren’t so good that’s what love is, and if you have to surrender please do it with all the love in the world, because at times we need to be taken care of too.
If you are struggling to get over a previous relationship, if you’re stuck on the drama of how you were hurt or what could have been, it helps to put an end to that story. Why many may ask, because you are not the first, nor will you be the last that it happened to, ask yourself what I have learnt from it. If you are one of the people that like to stay in the past that say set aside a quiet day to remember your relationship, by writing it down as a simplified love story with a beginning, middle and a fabulous end. But at the end of the day everybody has a hungry heart, the first thing to do is feed yours first.

P.S. ‘When we give ourselves permission to love a great transformation can and will occur’.
Much love
