I Won't Give Up

Someone once said, ~Being single isn't bad. What is bad is giving up hope in finding that special someone.~ Without a doubt, for those who are living the single life like myself we hope to one day stand right there in front of looking into the eyes of who we're going to spend the rest of our lives with. It's his/her eyes in which they quite possibly hold so much behind/within them to where they're considered an old soul in a fairly young body. However, there comes a point where each of us end up struggling with that sense of hoping to inevitably meet the guy/girl essentially representing true happiness. For it can most definitely be a tough and not to mention frustrating situation indeed so much so you've contemplated giving up and abandoning any or all hope in every truly experiencing love/true love. So the question remains to those who are in fact single, have you given up hope?

As I said before, it certainly can be tough and frustrating for any individual struggling to keep hope alive within one's heart. Thinking about it further, even though we might be in serious contemplation about giving up the idea of finally falling in love, you don't necessarily set it aside completely in never happening either. Hey, you know with 100% assurance the special qualities and moral character traits making you who you are will eventually be noticed by a guy/girl, whoever he/she is, mirroring maybe the same special qualities and moral character traits as well. Granted, the mere thought of it puts a smile on any single person's face but at the same time leaves you with ample amount of time to mentally/personally/spiritually/emotionally navigate your heart/mind, which isn't always a good thing.

If you think about it, when you're left navigating your own heart/mind you contend with that proverbial inner voice concerning where and when one will meet your best friend for life. A definite test in every sense of the word for many single people who are going through and trying not to listen to it as we speak. You see, it's during those moments you suddenly realize you're simply wasting your time in trying to question/control your own love life to where you just let go of the control whereby putting it in the hands of God. Let me tell you something, its always going to be a live and learn process that I'm personally trying to adhere to knowing how much I over-think/analyze matters of my own heart. In other words, when I relinquished control of my heart and continually pray to Him, it will be so worth it when I eventually meet the woman of my dreams who I'll give all my love to and have waited patiently for.

Let me ask this question to my fellow single peeps out there, are you the type of person who gives up and easily walks away in regards to the scary possibility of getting hurt or stands your ground in hopes that a heart to heart connection may come to fruition? Oftentimes, it's our utter heartbreaks of the past are, in some ways, gifts used as teaching tools helping us to understand ourselves better and show us how strong and wise for that matter each of us have become. Of course, the similarities shared help lay the groundwork, in a manner of speaking, but it's in the differences we find in that certain special someone can lead to a much deeper relationship. What it primarily comes down to is not negatively stripping away who you are just to be in a significant relationship with him/her as it is about positively adding more to be the awesome person you are because of him/her and vice versa.

In retrospect, the single life isn't as terrible as it seems as mentioned in the above quote. We all have our support system of gal pals/best buds to hang with and are given when we need an abundance of laughs to keep us from thinking about how we're constantly reminded of how we lack a significant other on a seemingly semi-daily basis....but I digress. In any case, it's God who knows how emotionally, personally, mentally, and spiritually tough we are as we individually go about our lives all the while unknowingly or knowingly making a difference in the lives of others. We never stop learning when it comes to our own heart and when things look bleak or depressing just look up, get on your knees, and pray. Trust me it works. In the end, it's a sad state of affairs when people give up entirely having lost all hope pertaining to their own heart; but as for myself and my fellow single peeps out there who still strongly believe with continued hope in our heart we firmly say together as one I won't give up, which is a song by 2 Time Grammy winner Jason Mraz.
