The Strength in Yourself

 Before a great love, you have yourself. You have your habits, you have your goals, you have your friends, you have your imagination, you have your happiness. You are blissfully happy, un aware of the type of happiness that you could have, if you had love.

You find your great love. And you realize how un happy you used to be. You realize that with out that love, you weren’t whole. You were only half of what you could be. You have your great love, and experience things that you never could have imagined. You experience life in a different point of view. You discover life, and discover all that it can be. And all that you can be. And all that you want to be.

But if you happen to lose your great love, you transition back to what you were, back to who you were. And there you are, just you. Just you again, with your habits, your goals, your friends, and your imagination. But you aren’t happy anymore. You are lost. You are discontent. You had discovered true happiness, and when that true happiness was taken away, you have to learn how to settle with just yourself. But can that actually be done?

People have pondered the question, how does one get over a great love? And the answer is still unclear. I don’t know if anyone ever really has gotten over a great love. But I have come to find, that once that person has had that great of a love, they don’t settle. They don’t settle for something fair, they don’t settle for something fine, they don’t even settle for something good. Because once they have had great, they only settle for great.

One goes in search of their next great love. And although you will always be there for yourself, you can not settle for anything less than yourself. And you should never settle. Once you have learned about life and all of its amazing factors, you can’t settle. It isn’t in your DNA anymore. So you don’t.

You go on. You grow stronger. You discover exactly what you want, and what you don’t want. And you never lose hope. You gain. You gain strengths and knowledge, and you strive to find your next great experience. And you aren’t afraid, because you have done this before. You have been through it all, and if things don’t work out, you do have yourself, and you are that much stronger to be there for yourself. And life gets that much better.
