Can someone truly and fully give their heart to another? Love seems to be in an abundance and there always seems to be someone out there that will love you, but can you really hand over your heart to another? Is is possible to move forward, beyond everything you have felt in the past, open up completely and just FALL.
We can't change the past, but we can create the future. Anything seems possible when you have another to count on and when you know that person will give you everything they have. Finding this (love or lust whatever you call it) takes up a great deal of time in our short existence on this planet. Why do we care some much about finding someone who will put up with our idiosyncrasies?
Don't we need to find ourselves as individuals before we can give ourselves to someone else? We have to know what precious gifts we are giving and whether or not they will take the time to handle it with care. Someone who will complement us and not dominate us.
Yet, we as humans take a more instinctive approach to love, whether it be animalistic or just the need to be wanted. Consistently we try to find ourselves in others, when we just need to reach into our own souls for the answers. Love at a young age, is pure and untouched, but it all to often gets tainted and the purity is lost. Lost for good or hidden behind things, we then have to rediscover and answer questions about ourselves in order to let another in again. We are constantly battling internally with questions we don't seem to take the time to answer.

I always admire the Buddhist's and there amazing take on life and oneself. "To really get inside ones head, one must really get inside one's head" When we try to figure us out, there is so much crap floating around, and som uch outside interference. We need to first let go of everything. Then sit for a long time. In silence. By ourslves. Then sit some more. A bit more. Suddenly the answers are clear of who we are.
The biggest problem is we put so much credance on the opinions of others it clouds us.
When we become truly independent (not just "Oh I don't care what so and so thinks" But a deeper sense)of the good opinion of others my friend Lou, then we will have grown a mile.
You are so right we do need to find ourselves as individuals first, but we must never give ourselves to someone else.
there is only one Lou, and she belongs with you.
Oh we can share parts of our lives, our love, our shelter, our stories with others, but we are unique and wonderful creatures, to be explored and examined by us!
Great post, it made me think.
Thank you David! Today has been a really hard one with lots of stress and outside influences, which have weighed heavily on my heart. I really needed this comment!
