Miracles Do Happen

Someone once said, ~What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come in direct contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.~ Oftentimes, the emotions that are being felt for a guy or a girl can cause a person to become scared. Every person has been in a situation where, from within their heart, someone has clutched it to the point that it gets harder to breathe. For there is absolutely no medical treatment or any science text books that will explain what is happening to you. For you see, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know its love, which can hit a person out of nowhere hard.

For when one is in that early stage of self denial a person will give reason after reason as to why love doesn't appeal to him or her. For it is in that person's mindset that he or she wants to focus on himself or herself first and doesn't want the headaches that love causes. Due to love, one's thinking process will be all out of whack and he or she will eventually have that goofy looking grin plastered on one's face. Yet, it's that same person who professes that he or she will never fall in love and never go through those experiences will be, in fact, that person. A person that one desperately never wanted to be, which is a lovestruck fool who then must decide to either act or not act on those feelings.

In any case, it's that fear of love that grabs each and every one of us by the proverbial heartstrings and pulls our emotions in every different direction. Yet, we can deny ourselves from having someone to love or being loved by someone by continually witnessing broken relationships. In some cases, a guy or girl fears being in a relationship due to seeing their own friends breakup, as well as, one's own parent's marriage ending in divorce, which thankfully hasn't happened to my parents. *knock on wood* For one has that mindset that he or she doesn't want to be another statistic on love's journey to the deep dark abyss where pain and sorrow reside. Yet, it will always be there in the back of your mind, waiting in the shadows as potential relationships come about.

Subsequently, that fear of love leads a person to just run away or hide from that person, which in his or her mind solves the problem. Let me ask you this question, have you experienced an overwhelming sense of emotion for someone that you basically walked away not knowing what the outcome could have been? Essentially, a person figures that by running away or hiding from the so-called "problem", you can run away or hide from the feelings that he or she has for that particular person. A person will find out that it's just not that simple and the only way to confront what you are feeling is to talk to that person. It's a scary situation indeed, but it's one of those life lessons that you have to learn on your own.

A wise man once said, ~Sometimes you just gotta let your heart lead you even if its to someone you may never be with.~ In retrospect, there comes a point where you have to just stop running from that fear and finally accept what you have been feeling for that particular person is real. You can never tell what that other person is feeling because he or she could be experiencing the same kind of emotions that have him or her running or hiding scared as well. Someone once told me never be afraid of love because that person, who you will fall in love with, will be considered a miracle sent by God. In the end, one can safely say that miracles do happen for everybody and hopefully I will look into the face of my miracle that God will send me.
