Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human. For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well w/in our reach if we only learn how to embrace its power. To experience true love, we must be wiling to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, at love can burn so brightly as to join into our souls, melding the two into 1,creating a bond that joins for ever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call loved that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.
