Sometimes being open means being vulnerable. Allowing yourself to change envelopes every part of you because you can't truly change unless you permanently remove what has been there to fill with the new. Permanently.
I've felt this unbelievable desire to fall in love since I can remember. Literally, kindergarten I would hold the doors for the ladies, and even help them get into their chairs. First grade was me egging on the guys to chase and tackle the girls- which set up THE PERFECT rendezvous! Me coming to save the day- tackling the guys off of them and away from them, and then I would PRETEND to hate the fact that they all wanted to give me a kiss. Yes I've been working on it since I was a real young Lad to save the day and get the girl...
What I've come to realize is that It's not all about saving someone from a burning building, beating up the bad guys, or having a dramatic fantasized beginning to a love story. I've always thought this needed to happen in order to create an environment where the LAST GUYS FINISH LAST, at least get their part in it. Well, you don't. Nope You Don't. Sure it can happen that way, and I'm sure 1 out of a billion really have.
How does love Happen? Where and When?
All I know is that the real times where I've felt Love I'm now realizing have come Slowly.
Like the tortoise and the hare, "Slow and Steady Wins the Race."
Maybe we all just have a little anxiety that says, "Ya Snooze, Ya Lose!" and Man, I've been cookin' to make it there in time to not lose. No one likes to lose out, but especially to lose out on Love. The more and more I'm thinking about it, if you feel like you have lost out on Love- You most definitely haven't. Maybe the person you've been chasing isn't the one, if that's the case- Count your lucky stars! Because there is someone even better ahead... Someone who recognizes your strengths. Someone who laughs at your weaknesses because they Love you and know they aren't perfect either. Someone who realizes that being perfect is in the eye of the beholder and you are just as perfect to them as they are to you.
Patience is Truly a Virtue. Yet, I'd say a Virtue in Disguise. You never expect to have to wait or slow down in the journey. Sometimes asking for the thing you want right then and there leads you to being frustrated because you feel like you aren't getting what you wanted in the first place. Realize this, you'll get exactly what you need. Ask away. More than likely you won't get everything you want, but you'll surely get everything you need.
I asked for strength, and been given obstacles to overcome.
I asked for faith, and was given problems to solve.
I asked for charity, and was given people to Love and care for.
I asked for patience, and I'm still waiting...
I got nothing I wanted, but everything I needed.
ALL in ALL, in the End of it, You'll ultimately come out getting what you want- if you're ready to put forth the work. Sometimes it's just part of the way things end up for you anyway. Quit worrying about what you need to be tomorrow. Worry is the most worthless emotion anyways. Tomorrow is another day, but it doesn't come until tomorrow. So Live it up today. Hurry Up, Keep Waiting.
Much Much Love,
Colton
