It wasn't the miles traveled that served any special interest to myself, but rather the reasoning behind the vital journey. How could one such love cause such a disturbance within the oracles of friends, concerned associates and even family? Well, possibly due to past indiscretions and total failure in the areas of, "love;" and that being on my behalf.

Unfortunate to the masses; this ordeal would supersede all speculations of repeat, and utterly despicable disasters. One can escape the pattern of; ordeals, and actually relish the possibilities even of; first love. However you must focus on lessons long learned.

Supposedly during early childhood we learn the principles of love through bonding with various caretakers, siblings, and friends. As our cognitive abilities mature, we are given the God-given ability to differentiate between parental/sibling/friendship and "guilt by association" relationships and encounters. Our final stage of emotional nurturing comes during puberty. If not altered or disturbed by the perversions of "sexual offenders," we can all enter into a rewarding experience of, "puppy love, high school sweethearts, young love, etc..

It's unfortunate that society has placed unreasonable expectations and conventional methods on when one should experience love, and agreeable parameters. When I was a child I spoke as a child...Hence; when I encountered my first crush, which grew to "puppy love," I actually thought I was in love; which in essence I was, according to my limited understanding..(Psychology I)

As I gallantly traveled through my twenties and thirties, I learned how to say " maybe, no, and hell naw," to various advances from my counterparts; preferably heterosexual encounters. I advanced to various levels while entertaining marriage, praying for a divorce., and just as I settled into my singleness, God blessed my life with; Life Love...(soon coming)

I can truly appreciate love at it's fullness now, due to countless bloopers, unwise choices, and the willingness to explore the possibilities of experiencing love the way God intended.

"Life Love," is that phase that most individuals my age can truly attest to. Life and Love can actually coexist or reign synonymously. You can either love life or tolerate living. It's something about loving one's self, and enjoying life that causes one to love. I actually value every heartache, and tear shed in my once abyss of pain. I now appreciate, relish and thank God for everyday I learn from my past mistakes and embrace my future; be it single or married.

Stay blessed
