It’s no secret that Cupid sometimes doesn’t seem to know what the heck he’s doing. During my early adult years he made me slam myself against the ground…MANY times. Inexperience, too often than not, leads you to make mistakes like giving your heart too easily. However, it’s my understanding that there’s a point in each individual’s life where we apply all that we’ve learned after all those painful “meetings’ with the ground and we make different decisions or adopt different attitudes.
I have a case that’s near to me of this girl who suffers from bipolarity of the heart: a constant change of emotions that not even SHE understands. Today she loves someone but tomorrow she loves someone else because bachelor number one did something wrong and bachelor number two SEEMS to be different.
The result: a constant breaking of the heart into little, bitty, pieces because she didn’t get to know these people BEFORE letting herself be blinded by the illusion. On top of it, she didn’t notice the big, fat, neon sign warning her that those “bachelors” didn’t really have the intention of giving her the value she deserved, and since “we” don’t like being ALONE…
Reader, don’t let those bitter moments be in vain. LEARN from the mistakes of the past and don’t let yourself be fooled by appearances. A partner should be a COMPLEMENT, not the piece that’s missing to gain absolute happiness. Patience is a virtue: WAIT. Don’t fall in love at the drop of a hat just so you can feel the euphoria that the emotion provokes and to keep loneliness away. “Better alone than with bad company.”
Love shouldn’t be complicated. A real relationship is that which doesn’t make you feel insecure or that should constantly be fighting to keep it alive. Even though our partners sometimes can give us small headaches…they shouldn’t give us the eternal MIGRAINE!
I leave you with one of my favorite passages from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7. I hope they are to you the words of light they’ve been to me:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
One last warning: in my humble opinion, this passage applies to someone who’s REALLY worth it. Just in case someone out there wants to use it to justify tolerating someone who treats them like a rug.
And Cupid: Mind your own business…
