Loving someone incapable of Loving again

People who have been beat down by past relationships find it hard to love again, not thoroughly. They hold onto pieces of a past that no longer exists, carrying it with them into their future. How do you love someone like this? In my opinion, the only way to love someone so hurt and broken by their past is to love them unconditionally - without expectation.

I've done this recently. Admittedly, it's not easy. It's especially hard when you are able to see beyond the hardened shell the person has erected. I'm not special. I just see beyond what appears before my eyes.

Love unconditionally - no expectations of that love ever being returned or restored in that person for you.

The Universe Has Jokes too!

I thought some people were Ha Ha funny, it seems the Universe has jokes as well. Doing all I can to move forward, yet it seems I keep getting sucked back into the madness!!! What's the plan, man?

Happy, the new state of mind

I love meeting people, especially people I've met through Facebook. Today, I met a friend of Oliver's, now my friend. We spent a good portion of time reminiscing about our friend. I have good friends. Everyone has something. Everyone goes through something. It's how you react to their situation that makes the difference. I've learned throughout the years to keep calm. After going over the events of the last year, of which most of it's a blur, I came out ahead. All I know is I did the best I could to help my friend and his family. I also fell in and out of love for the first time in my life. I accomplished amazing things, just in the past two months alone; and I am blessed with awesome family and friends who were with me every step of the way.

I love it when people comment on some of the pictures I post. I posted one last year where so many people sent messages of congratulations and you look so happy...finally. Now, I am just happy for no reason. I'm good to everyone I encounter. I've learned to not overreact (zero to a hundred), and I let may things go. My life has changed for the better. Thank you.
