The Path of Someone Seeking Love
By The Parodist | July 20, 2009
LOVE.
Though it is true that I don’t think of it often, the hope is still there, dancing around my heart and mind. I reckon if I have the time and energy to think about heartaches and heartbreaks, why can’t I spend the same amount (or more even) of time and energy to hope for love?
Is it true that love is the key to my personal happiness?
I’m learning that in how I define love will effectuate the same level of bliss. It is not how I am given love but in how I receive it. Give without asking anything back and trust that with any amount of effort, it will be reciprocated accordingly. Not in the manner how I think I deserve things but as it should be. Believe that I will be loved the way I need to be loved and find happiness and satisfaction in each and every time it is given.
It is a rare gift in itself to be loved at all.
Trusting that God has indeed prepared that special person to be exactly who I need in my life. The right person with the right love at the right time. The PERFECT person with the PERFECT love at the PERFECT time.
I have begun to realise that this IS the sort of life that my God had planned for me. I have found richness in every piece chipped off my heart. He had allowed me to experience things, however extraordinarily good or bad, which helped mold me into the person I am.
I am where I should be. I am who I should be. Said without arrogance but with the knowledge that shit happens with reason and purpose.
Among other things in life, I’m also on the path of someone seeking love and I’m taking it with all its complications and promises of bliss.
How about you folks? Have you found the perfect love? Have you stopped worrying about serious matters, difficult decisions and hard words? Are you with someone who has brought peace to your heart? If your answer is yes then I’m truly happy for you!
P.S. Currently re-reading a Paulo Coelho book, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, hence, the post. LOL.

I think the perfect love is something that is most often found in fairy tales. In real life, there are wonderful people and wonderful relationships, but no one can be truly perfect, and good relationships often require some effort to maintain.

Great post! Cheers Mate.
I love that - “shit happens with reason and purpose”
How frank and very true. Shows great trust in your (our) good God. He does know what He is doing. I believe that.
LOVE. It is all around us. You sound like a well loved person - by your family and friends. Sometime, somewhere - who knows - your specel someone will appear. Good Luck.

Asianmommy: It’s all in how you define perfect. What’s perfect for you won’t be perfect for me and vice versa.
Connie: I agree. Thanks!
Kharen: Thanks and thanks. Well-loved can be a bit of a reach but it’s all good. I’d like to think that what you said, however generic it may be, will indeed come to pass. Better that than nothing, and soon, I hope!
