The Broken Road

Somone once said, ~Its a long road when you face the world alone, when no one reaches out a hand for you to hold. You can find love if you search within your soul, and the emptiness you felt will disappear.~ If you think about it, our own heart can be considered a road in which each of us are traveling a metaphorical journey to find and/or meet that somone special who will permanently stop us from getting lost within it, not just physically but emotionally as well. For its when we all travel the proverbial highways and biways within our own heart you experiences the highs and lows of love or the feelings you have that lead up to falling in love. Let me ask you this question, how long have been traveling the lonely road within your own heart?

Without a doubt, it can be a lonely road as one hears and feels the bumps on the road of life, which oftentimes seems as if its going on forever or around in circles. Depending on how nig those bumps are they can be considered a representation of the moments of happiness/contentment one feels when meetings someone new and is inevitably interested in. Its those particular bumps, whether its brief or long term, that can give your heart a reason to beat faster as it hears and feels the beat of someone else's heart who is knowingly or unknowingly traveling the lonely road along side with you, which may or may not truly be felt from someone either within an instant, within days, within weeks, within months, and/or within years.

Unfortunately, there are times where you will encounter potholes that can most definitely make one's travel complicated, difficult, and/or uncomfortable. If you think about it, those so called potholes represent the times your trust and heart were broken to where there are pieces left scattered on the side of the road, so to speak. For its those broken pieces on the side of the road of life are the love/feelings that were once held by/for a particular someone but are now left untouched and unused, which is a sad situation indeed for a guy or girl who doesn't deserve that kind of hurt. A hurt so painful that you lose all feeling, emotion, and love to where you forget what its like to experience it all over again in your heart.

However, every so called pothole that is left on your heart will eventually lead you that long lost dream you've been wanted to come true. In some aspect, the signs have pointed or are pointing to where he or she is, but for reasons known or unknown you simply missed it, which happens or has happened to every person. Initially, we continue to go through the same emotions and feeling to the point of frustration that you so desperately want to experience something new and exciting. In a sense, your bad past relationship or relationships are compared to nothern stars pointing/leading you by hand to that special someone. For the question can be asked, do you know who that one person is who is asking/wanting you to take his or her hand?

Ryan Erickson said, ~The road to finding the "the one" is paved with a bit of promiscuity.~ In retrospect, on the road of life you will meet individuals who have that certain something that you enjoy and appreciate such as a sense of humor, a warm, kind heart, honesty, and many other character traits. In any case, we're never really traveling alone because God is our companion/guide and even though you can't see Him you simply have to close your eyes, look deep within your soul, and He's there. In the end, its by the grace of God that He blessed the broken road that leads you or already has lead you to that one person who is everything you ever wanted and more.
