That Thing Called Love

Someone once said, ~When you love somebody, you should follow your heart. Sometimes when you are with the person you love the most, you feel confused. You don't know who you are or what you want but that is totally understandable. Its is natural to let go of a part of yourself to be with that person but the important part is that you don't lose your own identity in the process.~ The chances each and every one of us take when we follow our heart can have a person sometimes not know where and who it is leading us to. For the most part, our own heart can lead us in many different emtionally and physically to the point where can become absolutely lost, as well as, confused.

It can truly be a confusing feeling when you have absolutely no idea what to do or say as you decide to follow your heart towards someone that may or may not feel the same way. For its that physical journey towards possible happiness a person also takes an additional journey of the emotional kind. It within that emotional journey where a person through many different reason, in one's head, as to why he or she give one a chance of a lifetim, in a manner of speaking. Yet, even though we have many different reason for that particular person to be given a chance, in the back of one's mind there are many different reason that he or she may have for you not to be given the chance, which you do unfortunately take into consideration.

Without a doubt, every person has been in this type of situation and if you haven't...just wait you will be. When one is following his or her heart, you basically are letting go a part of yourself that you try to keep in control. A part of yourself that can have you not remember your own name and its that part that you try to keep in control. A part of yourself in which you can be scared to be yourself because quite frankly you can say or do some stupid things at the wrong time or right time depending on the atmosphere you both are in. To be perfectly honest, there is no telling how much of yourself you are letting go and once its let go you may not be able to get it back again.

However, its that type of situation that has made some people turn their back on the word itself and any possibility of ever coming his or her way. In their own experiences, following one's heart is a journey they have taken some many times before and so many times afterwards he or she has ended up with a broken heart. If you think about it, you can lose your own identity in the process by way of an unmistakeable smile that can mostly definitely brighten a room or bring a smile to other people's faces. You can also lose that one of a kind sense of humor which can make a person's day that much more enjoyable. Whatever you may lose, it inevitably takes someone special to give a simple word such as love to bring back meaning and feeling behind it for yout.

In retrospect, every person has a story to tell in which they followed their own heart to be with someone that they truly cared for. Stories that either had one traveling great distances, in competition with another guy or girl, etc. Whether there is a happy ending its that particular person's story to tell and share. For the question can be asked, why do we continue to follow our heart when there is a great risk of heartbreak. My answer..because you have nothing to lose by trying and at least they know how you feel, which does count for something. In the end, its that thing called love that makes each of us insane, foolish, cynical, frustrated, say things that make no sense at all; but you know what I wouldn't have it any other way, how about you?
