Love....

How is it that we survive this thing called love? We live to love. It tears us apart, it breaks us down, it kills us. The same love that tears us apart builds us up, gives us strength and supports us in times of need. What a crazy concept! I've had such an interesting year with this concept. Love had grown so strong with me, that when there was none I was at a stand still. Where do I go? What do I do? The road wasn't always the best one I could've taken and I know its my own demons I'll have to face. But when all was said and done, what happened is all because of love. I gained my self back, I learned to love myself and to put me first. I was always so worried about hurting everyone else's heart when in return I neglected my own. I have always trusted my heart without fear, now I know to protect it. I learned that I am a strong person and that I am in charge. What lessons have you been taught this year?
