Don't Rush.

If something's worth having, then it's something worth the wait.

Love. It's a wonderful thing, it's also a dangerous thing. It can kill you or tear you apart, just like it nearly did me. The thing with love is just because you feel it, doesn't mean the object of your affection feels it too. It doesn't mean you shouldn't love again, it just means you should be more cautious as to who you open up your heart to. Trust me, I have had the worst luck with guys and had my heart trampled all over. The thought that someone can be your whole world one minute and then the next, you mean nothing to them. That feeling that you have nothing to live for. I've been there on more than one occasion. My main problem is I'm a fool for words: someone can say the nicest things to me and I'm theirs. The problem with that is guys can be liars. Not all, I admit, but certainly most that I have known. They say one thing and mean another. You just have to take the risk sometimes in showing your true feelings because if you hold back, you could lose something great. That will always be the biggest regret. If you jump and say how you feel, the worst that can happen is that they don't feel the same way. Yes, you may feel like your life is over at the time, but you will move on and it will be great. Eventually. It might take a month, it might take ten years but it will happen. You will love again.

After a while, it gets easier. You meet someone new and learn to love again. Every so often, something will happen or something will be said that will remind you of the past but it's important to remember that it didn't work out for a reason. If it was meant to be, it would still be. You might have been a rebound, a passing phase or simply just not right for each other. But that's okay, I think you have to go through heartbreak to see what you want and what's important to you.

Love's not something you can see, only you will know when you're in love. You can feel it. People will comment that they can see it in your eyes, especially if it's new. The feeling that someone is your everything and they're not going anywhere. It's a magical feeling; when you're together and you look into each other's eyes and that's it. It's real. And in that moment, nothing can tear you apart. It really is a wonderful feeling. It might only last for the next day, like it did me, or it might last a lifetime. You never forget your first love. You can do everything to try to forget but you never will. But that's alright; just because you can't forget them, doesn't mean you still want them.

All in all, love is great. But just look out for yourself because it's not always genuine.
