“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”
― Bob Marley
The older I get the vaster my past, the hurt and highs of me, my faults are so closer to the surface and the innocent Tania Marie, almost a memory.
But I still do give my heart to and in most things, new relationships or friendships especially, all or nothing seems to be how I jump in. But I find I almost now, hurt faster and harder with the years gone by.
I think as a person I now know how to facade the hurt but I still hurt. The difference is that I will get over anything, I can pick my self up and I will move on.
It does not mean I do not want to love again; It just means I have my faults.
So lets think about these words and realise that in this, the only life in this world we have, we need to make the most of it and not judge love ones, where it is deserved, just love loved ones. No conditions, no motives and certainly try not to limit your love by allowing a small thing to become a big thing.
I now need to think about these words and take them with me.
