That's the Way Love Goes...

 

    

That's the way love goes...you just never know. When you turn that corner and you find yourself on a completely different street. 

 You wonder... How did I get here in the first place? Where do I go from here? Can I do this? Can I move forward? Will I feel like myself again? Will I love once again?  The answer is, absolutely! We have the capacity to forgive and forget. It becomes easier to forgive if we prepare ourselves for the unexpected potholes of that road. We don't have to hold on. We don't have to hold grudges. We don't have to be resentful. We can and should let go. We do have the natural ability to let go, it's just been repressed but, we can reawaken it. How? By putting yourself in the other person's shoe. Understanding what they are feeling, will help you understand their choices. You may not agree with them, you may not feel great about them, but regardless... who are we to say, they can't feel what they feel?

See, the thing about feelings is...you can't own theirs, you can only own yours. How we react to them, is what we can control. Meaning...the right thing to do is respect them. Granted, an action causes a reaction and we are a reflection of each other. If you can get to a point... where you can calmly remove the emotions and look at the facts, than your more apt to handle yourself better, the situation and when necessary, the other person... in way that's conducive to resolving the issues. In the reality of things...I've failed at this myself. When... no matter what is said, there is no common ground of understanding. You just don't jive, you just don't get it, you don't resolve it, you can't resolve it...well then we all know, that's the way love goes...
