The Chance To Try Again

Honest love never ends in void.

But, let’s talk about it.

To Whomever This Resinates With,

In a world where there is bad luck or no luck at all - I hope you still give yourself a chance. In a world full of hookup culture, games, and psuede’s, I hope you give your life the ability for transparency, for generosity, and for good. Please allow the belief that there is someone in this world, who shares a heart and mind like yours, and disallow the wall that your body adapts to, after all of the disappointment. It’s hard. I know. Of all people, trust and believe I have gone through my fair share of disappointments. Daily, I recede the thought of life being better off, if I stop giving the chance to disappoint. But — That’s the beauty of it all.

The disappointment, the physical ache, the growth of what comes after: That’s the beauty. You grieve as deeply as you have loved, and that is scary, but if you think of it in the sense that you came into someone’s life in the right moment, you provided the right love, and you did your best - That doesn’t go wasted. I know sometimes it can feel like maybe you’re the learning lesson for people, like they come in, build off of you, and leave again. And, maybe that’s true. Maybe that is what it is, but, in the beauty of it: Your heart allowed. You let yourself. You took the chance - And that makes you all the more knowing, all the more brave, and all the more beautiful. To be a person who is able to provide consistent love, even after the disappointment.

People like you, with your heart, your courage, and your bravery, are needed. Even more now than ever.

My golden hearted loves, your story awaits. Your happy ending awaits. There’s someone here for you, there’s someone awaiting your love, and there’s a chance that you must take. There always will be. Whether it ends chaotically beautiful, or surprises you just by being what it is – real love. You must allow yourself the courage to take the chance to find it.

Another thing: You are one step closer, even if, disappointed, to finding someone who wants to willingly give the love you deserve.

Allow yourself to love. Despite the pain, it will never end in vain, and you may surprise yourself.

As Always,
