I am a little dumbfounded today. I had a conversation with a friend and they just had a nasty breakup with their significant other. They said "I wasted so much time loving this person" and this song immediately played in my head.
Why is it that when a relationship goes away there has to be blame and regret for loving someone? I sit back and ponder this out loud because for so long I have felt that way about one or another person that I loved. Reality is they were just a blip in my history. Good. Bad. Indifferent. I regretted loving them, but had I not done so I would not be where I am today.
The reality is that each one has taught me something about myself. That time spent is not a waste. You loved. Love is so important in this world. We all need more of it. Not just the romantic kind, but love in general.
Fear stops love from happening. Loving someone means we find a way to be fearless. That is a beautiful thing. When we are fearless we take chances, we grow and expand ourselves. We make this world a little brighter, a little kinder and really -- isn't that why we are here? To love?
Just my ponderings today...
