My Life

Someone once said, ~Being single has meant that I am free to take risks that I might not take. Being single has given me freedom to move around the world without having to pack up a household first. And this freedom has brought to me moments that I would not trade for anything else the side of eternity.~ When you're single, you tend to live your life thinking/worrying only about yourself to where it can be perceived as somewhat selfish. Selfish, in the sense, that one wants to feel free in taking risks as you meet someone new and not form any kind of attatchments within your heart for a particular guy or girl. Yet, it only takes on for you to form an attatchment and risk it all with your own heart.

Without a doubt, the single life has given many of us the freedom to like/dislike a particular guy or girl. Whether one's reasoning is valid or completely shallow, its that's person's preference as to what peaks his or her interest. As it has been said so many times before, its not what's the power he or she has on the outside that determines if you love someone, its the powere one has within one's heart that shows how how strong and real a person is. For the most part, you don't know if the feelings, emotions, and/or words are truly believeable and yet you have to trust your instincts but most importantly trust your own heart as to where or not you will take a trip around the world with him or her, so to speak.

Being a single person, one's heart can absolutely be taken on a trip of a lifetime. If you think about it, there have been people in one's past or present who metaphorically have taken or are taking your heart to the highest reaches of a mountain such as Mt. Everest. Its up at the highest point you feel like you've finally reached something totally unreachable as you look into that person eye's, hear his or her voice, or feel one's hearbeat in a warm embrace. Its at the top where seemingly you can breathe easier, the air smells so much sweeter, and when you look down life just makes a bit more sense. For all the worries that were bothering you mentally, physically, and/or emotionally, simple fade away as you take/breathe in all what you see before you.

Unfortunately, there also have been times as a single person, you were literally, as well as, metaphorically taken on one bad trip. A trip where you came back not quite the same person mentally, emotionally, and/or physically due in part to losing or having your heart disappear as if it went into the Bermuda Triangle and never was seen from again. Essentially, its that natural curiosity each of us have as a single people to go into the unknown knowing that we may never be same person coming out, which is a risk a person like myself is now taking. Let me ask yout this question, are you risking your own heart as you head into that so called "Bermuda Triangle" to someone special?

In retrospect, when it comes to the human heart, it can either step foward and be heard/noticed or it can simply be another "face" in the crowd that doesn't speak out. When you're single, sometimes fearing the unknown will take over your life and that's when you have to say to yourself, you have to live sooner or later. In some aspect, breaking through that roadblock, which is keeping you from the vast open highway within your own heart, may or may not pay dividends..who knows really except for you. In the end, when it comes to one's heart, you have to say to yourself I'm going to live as I'm going with what I feel and I will see who my heart leads me or already has lead me to because in the end, its my life.
