Brand New Day

Hammad Chhipe once said, ~Love is just like life. Its is not always easy and it does not always bring happiness...but when we do not drop living, why should we drop loving?~ Without a doubt, life can be considered hard to grasp at times, but when it comes to love that's even harder to grasp. Like life, one oftentimes thinks he or she has the mystery of love solved but unfortunately there are more questions within the answers you find. In a sense, it's like going through an endless cycle of questions and answers to where you end up at the same question you began with. Essentially, when it comes to life and love, there are several inherent truths that we all end up facing and accepting.

Truth #1: No matter how much you try to avoid drama in you life, it finds you depending on if one intentionally or unintentionally looks for it. Every person has at least been a part of or witnessed people being involved in what I like to call the six degrees of Kevin Bacon drama-go-round where one person likes another but that person doesn't like him or her in that way to where you end up with hurt feelings, which makes reconciliation between friends not an easy task to fix. It essentially makes a person laugh not in a funny humorous way but rather in frustration, why is this happening in all kinds of ways?

Truth #2: When it comes to finding the right guy, women want a man who will just love her instead of adore her. Its that proverbial litmus test which helps a woman choose and yet there is a difference in the two as adore is defined as to like very much; worship whereas love is defined as a deep, tender feeling of affection toward a person. It can oftentimes not be easy for a guy to distinguish the two because it can intertwine to where a guy will mistakenly have blind adoration for a woman rather than love and vice versa. Undeniably, women are smart enough to pick up on this and unfortunately it takes a while for guys to figure this out, but hey we learn until we get it right.

Truth #3: Love is the most simplest thing and yet it can become complicated to where we mess it up on our own. How? People spend money on books and talking/listening to so called "experts" that one's brain can be filled with so much information that it can most definitely confuse you. Confuse you in the sense the answer is staring right in the face and yet, you tend to not see it at first. For it will truly mean a great deal to that particular person and you'll have less to think about. For the most overlooked aspect of love is friendship where just sharing a simple smile or a laugh means much more and far surpasses every other moment that is deemed memorable.

Someone once said, ~Love emanates from truth and truth emanates from love; one does not exist without the other. Truth is an internal current and love is its external flow.~ In retrospect, its never easy facing the truth when it comes to both life and love, but we never stop living or loving. Continually living each day to where you focus on the more positive aspects of your life while spreading the love you have wherever you can, but not to one person but to people you meet along your own personal journey. If you think about it, love moves in mysterious ways to where the truth of love shows you everything you've ever prayed for and because of it you look forward to spending a lifetime as each brand new day always brings something new never before experienced with that special someone someday.
