Of Love and Waiting

Almost always, when we fall in love so swiftly, we are likely to fall for someone who doesn't deserve our love. We even let ourselves believe that it’s true love. We are being duped by their saccharine poisonous words. We were blinded by the dazzling glitters of their promises. Then we'll realize that we squandered our time, blood, sweat, tears, and love for that brief period of relationship.

We should not be wasting our tears and time on those who want shortcuts, are reckless, and hit and run. Those people will not help you grow as a person. They will simply suck all of your happiness and seize your dreams.

Stoplights remind us to take a moment to enjoy life, to let go and relax, and to be grateful for what we have. Slow down. Do not rush.

Just because we paused, changed lanes, or avoided those toxic people in our lives does not diminish our worth as human beings. We're actually doing it correctly. Lao Tzu's go with the flow is overrated.

We must learn to create our own waves in order to reach the ocean of bliss and contentment. We should not be influenced by social media or what is popular and trending. We can be unique - in a positive way.

Life should be nurtured and cherished. Feed and strengthen your heart. Let us not force ourselves to fit in, blend in, and bend our personalities in order for them to love us. Don't rush. Take it slow and easy. Relax. Hang tight.

You'll get to our destination soon. You'll meet someone who is eager to take the wheel for you. Someone who will not take shortcuts, someone who will carefully show you the way so you can enjoy the sweet twists and turns of life, and both of you will savor each moment and enjoy the view.

You'll meet someone who has goals rather than dreams. Someone who will fall in love with our souls rather than our bodies. Someone who will adore your brilliant mind, wit, and sense of humour. Someone who will accept and embrace everything about your beautiful self and will not use your past to make you feel bad about yourself. You'll meet someone who will prioritize you and will not allow anyone, not even his closest friends, to interfere with your relationship. Someone who will not make you feel like an outcast in his group. Someone who will make you feel appreciated because you are a treasure. Someone who will build a palace for you and make you his queen.

We are diamonds, gold, and all the other precious stones.

We must understand our worth and value.

We deserve to be treated with respect.

Allow no one to control you or abuse you, either mentally or physically. You do not deserve any of these things. If you must, if you can, and if you have enough time, stay away. Be brave. You are strong.

You are beautiful. 

love,
