Every Little Thing

Anatole France once said,~All changes even the most longed for have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.~ If you think about it, when it comes to matters of the heart you want to be the guy or girl who changes the course of a relationship in which you deal with certain barriers prohibiting you from in all intents and purposes being let into someone's heart. For it’s that someone who even though on the outside shows signs one may want to establish the relationship you get the strangest feeling on the inside he or she is going through an inner struggle within one's heart leading you to be kept at a distance. Essentially, it's a big change he or she yearns for and it can come to fruition by the little ways you do things that inevitably penetrate the heart causing the metaphorical door to gradually open.

Let me ask you this question, how many of you believe in love or true love for that matter? Its a type of love that brings you to a point in your life where you rethink your current situation you're in because of experiencing a little glimpse of contentment that has you wanting to leave all or at least part of yourself behind that isn't scared to express what's in your heart, but maybe for that particular person of interest its difficult. However, for some people they put little belief in love/true love truly bringing contentment and yet at the same time don't completely rule it out. Why? What it comes down to is the issue of trust as he/she has in the past unfortunately put their trust in someone who told lies, broke promises, or whatever the case may be creating a mindset in which he/she will always be involved in a neverending cycle of heartache that will never change.

Without a doubt, it's hard for someone who has been hurt time and time again in the past to change their views on love/relationships making it difficult to be metaphorically let into his or her heart. You see, we all want to have that so-called perfect moment in which it cements the permanence of a long lasting happiness hopefully without any overwhelming doubts. Unfortunately, experience has taught each of us that a seemingly little dream as attaining the perfect moment is oftentimes temporary because of the lack of protection being given to one's feelings/emotions. Oftentimes you're left to, in a manner of speaking, wake up to the harsh, bittersweet reality of experiencing the same feelings of sadness, anger, disappointment, heartache, etc., which is considered a living nightmare within not only your heart, but soul as well to where tears are possibly shed.

For the question can be asked, is it ever too late to change the course of a relationship when the person eventually figures out their own identity? An identity that up to a point felt incomplete within his/her heart, as well as, sick and tired of living in a world of lies, but the times spent with a particular person who makes you rethink the unattainable life is in fact attainable causes a gradual shift in the direction of where one's heart wants to be. Thinking about it, it's doing something as small as not giving up /turning your back on a person you care about even though the love aspect of the relationship is at times a frustrating unknown all-the-while dealing with so many variables shows there is a willingness to be there whenever needed, whereby establishing a comfortable basis to give enough space to sort through whatever mutual feelings is/are being shared between each other to have.

In retrospect, when you meet someone who is not the same guy/girl you usually meet/date it's like going through an awakening of sorts as you find yourself in a situation where instead of believing in nothing, you have a chance to believe in something. Instead of always hearing lies, you actually trust in that fact that you're actually being told the truth for a change. Instead of focusing on the broken dreams/moments given in the past, focus on rebuilding new dreams/moments you're being given in the present and maybe into the future. In the end, it's tough indeed to be the person who wants those little things that make love/relationships special knowing their past history of heartbreak and yet it's tougher to be that guy/girl who wishes one could be every little thing that person has always wanted, which is a song by Dishwalla that reflects this thought.
