1(one) Love

Good evening. Wanting someone in your life that you know ultimately doesn’t want to be there hurts. But the fact of the matter is that there’s nothing you can do about it. Some people shy away from meaningful relationships because of fear. Some shy away because they aren’t emotionally able to maintain healthy relationships, and some just simply don’t have the wherewithal or capacity to love anyone but themselves.

Regardless of the reason, what they fail to realize is that it is indeed fellowship and time with others that make them better. It’s the simple feeling of knowing that someone cares about you and wants to be around you that makes you to want to give a bit more of yourself.

Now, I’m not saying go out and befriend the world. I’m talking about being emotionally available to those people that you know in your heart and without any doubt contribute to who you are as a person and are indeed a part of your destiny.

With all that being said, if you are reading this blog, I challenge you to:

� Never give up on people even when they want you to

� Give of yourself as much, if not greater than what you, yourself want to receive

� Love in such a way that it is felt rather than implied

� Be patient with those that aren’t so easy to be patient with

� Be understanding and know that ‘being free’ and ‘being loved’ doesn’t come easy for everyone

� Be real and tell it like it is…but with compassion

� Be trusting and trustworthy

� Be unpredictable and spontaneous, but original and genuine

� Be strong and never give up on love, life, or relationship

I think this is enough to get us started. Besides, the rest of what we must do can’t be written; it must be lived.

Peace & Love – Kimberly
