To Love or Not To Love

What is love?

 Websters says "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person"

Yet this definition still leaves more to be questioned. Love is different for everyone. For me, it is that yearning to be in the mere presence of the one I'd have no complaints spending every second of life next to. It is listening to your heart & letting it lead the way because for once they both agree. It is caring more about another that you do yourself. It is the feeling of a slow, painful, torturous, infinite death at the thought of not being able to feel those butterflies in your chest when you are simply grazed by even the smallest part if them. It is shamelessly allowing yourself to be so open that you forget what life was like before this thing called Love came into your life. And it is refreshing. It is renewing & gives a recharge of inner peace that nothing else can compare to. Love, like people, comes in many different shapes & forms. And it hurts just as much as it feels good. It is used as much as it is abused. For some it is feared, ignored & rejected. Knowing that you have to truly give all of you, flaws & all, to really, really, receive this Love that so many claim to have, yet so few actually experience. When it comes, it is somewhat of a thief in the night. It is realizing that you've always known that the sky is blue & the grass green, yet today, the clouds seem to sparkle in the forefront of a teal background & the foliage exerts a hue of lime green at the tip if each section. You question what life you really was before it. You must have faith & understanding. But most of all you must first know love of one's self. Yes, it is cliche, but it is true. And if at first you dont succeed, try, try, again, for the world's supply of Love is never ending.

Work. The thing so many hate. Its like love. You can't live with it & life is hard as hell with out it. Everyone has had that moment when you have reached your absolute breaking point & wanted to let everyone in the work place have it. I mean REALLY let them have it. I'm talking kicking over copy machines, throwing office chairs & cursing the people that birthed the object of your frustrations. Knowing that you cant, leaves you dreading the daily commute to what is now a small portion if hell on Earth. Its like the world has lost its compassion for others. We now live in a "Wat can you do for me" world. Work no longer feels like a second family and the smile on your face is as fake as unicorns!  So what do you do when you are disrespected, belittled, & dam near about to bite your tongue off trying to keep the peace? You take that as your Que to move on.Exit stage left into a new career  path.  It's scary,  especially  when you've grown comfortable with your position. But the nothing in life ever stays the same.  So I say prove your self right & find the career you know you deserve! Being that reincarnation is still being debated, this one life is the only one your certain to get. USE IT OR LOSE!
