I talked with a beautiful woman today that told me she has been divorced and single for 20 years, too "set in her ways" and hurt from her last relationship to ever get involved again....Her brother on the other hand is in a "new" relationship and at the "I love you" stage.... I feel it is a "ray of light" for her .... and makes me think metaphorically ...
Why rob yourself of an amazing experience because of a past hurt or pain. We have all been hurt but we have to see the silver lining, the "GIFT" that, that particular experience has brought into our lives, what it has taught us and how we can do things differently or help one going through a similar situation....Like roller coasters, life and RELATIONSHIPS have their ups and down, twists and turns, speed, thrills or halting to a stop. WE have the choice to GET BACK ON another ride or the same one if we liked it the first time around. WE have the CHOICE to forgive those who have hurt us and MOVE ON by keeping an open heart and allowing the possibility of a happy and healthy relationship. Why be afraid of what is "not there" or something that has come and gone ...You will NEVER know unless you get back on that "roller coaster" and MAKE a better decision KNOWING what you know now ... It might just be the BEST ride of your life... Don't let the past rob your future. It can be a great as YOU allow it to be.
