it takes a lot to stay in a relationship
it requires being vulnerable
allowing walls to fall that have taken you so long to build up
but what happens when the vulnerability (excuse my made up word) is unreciprocated?
what happens when you're left with broken walls and nothing left to protect your heart?
that's the great thing about God, this i know
but it is such a hard lesson to learn with sinful humans
--myself included
when we allow ourselves to become vulnerable we break the norms of society
we tell the world that we have come, to this very moment to forsake our defenses,
let our pride fall to the side
and we step out unguarded
is it stupidity? is love really blind? because who ever finds a perfect relationship in which no pain will be felt?
no one!
but that shouldn't stop us.
that should not hinder us from putting our hearts on the line for us
cause
(do you want to know a secret?)
God made our hearts to be hurt.
yes, you read that right.
i don't mean to say that He wanted or wished ill things upon our emotional well-beings
what i truly mean is that one of the greatest blessings our Lord ever gave us was
the ability to heal, to love again, to be rejuvenated anf fascinated by the
trappings and slings of this life anew
heartache after heartache
we are still able to feel and revel in the joy of love, life, lolly-gagging, laziness, and laughter
break down the barriers.
disregard your doomed defenses.
alow beauty to illuminate even the darkest chaoses within your heart
for in doing so,
you make yourself a friend
