Only one love at a time



Is it possible that we can love more than one person at a time?

Some people believe that you can only love one person at a time. That loving two or more at once, simply isn't possible.

I don't believe that. I believe that we can love more than one person at a time. It doesn't even have to be about being with that person. We certainly love our children, pets, and family/friends all at once. In different ways, and in different methods, but we love them.

How is that so different?

You're not asking them to be with you, or trying to deny the love exists, but it is possible to love more than one person at one time. To deny that is to deny yourself. To fight it, is to fight yourself.

Is it really selfish to love more than one person at a time? No, of course not. To love is to be selfless. You're not asking for something in return from them. You're not asking them to give anything up. You're simply giving them something precious about you.

Your love.

It's only when we ask them for something in return, or rather, expect it, that it becomes selfish love. Not so much giving them that.

The human heart was born to love. We were born to love. It's what we're here for. If more people weren't afraid to love people, even if it means being without that person, maybe we'd become better people to each other. It's not a bad thing to love someone, even if your'e not with them. It's all a part of life. We're not always meant to be with the ones we love. It just means that there is someone else better out there for us. There is someone out there thinking the same thing about you too.

Simply love...

Do you think it's a bad thing to love more than one at a time?

Ladies and Gentlemen….

Normally, right about now, I would feel inclined to continue with “and children of all ages” (guess I’ve been to the circus just one time too many) but this time instead of introducing some dancing bears or the Flying Wallendas, I’m simply here to introduce myself. My name is Tracie Dee . I’ve been writing for about 4 years now and got my start blogging on MySpace. I love writing but these days, I’m also finding enjoyment with vlogging. I have found that videos are a nice way to share what words alone might not give justice to and also for people to really get to know the person behind the words and the keyboard. Overall, I consider myself to be a pretty down to earth and upbeat person, whose sense of humor can be a bit wacky at times. Hey, life can be rough and sometimes laughter and levity can be our only saving grace to help us get through it all. I consider it to be our very own little light at the end of the tunnel that serves to remind us that even during the very worst

Bucket Lists

"Its never too late to be what you might have been" – George Eliot I’ve been a late bloomer in pretty much every aspect of my life. Some of it was out of my control (I mean I really couldn’t help if Mother Nature has a twisted sense of humor and exercised it heavily on me during my teens and twenties) but I can’t put all of the blame for it on her, either. Some of it was also by my personal choice. And by that, I mean I used to be very shy and afraid of “what was out there” in the big, scary world so I would rarely try anything new or took any chances of any kind. I chose instead to do my best to hide away from life, tucking myself away from it safely like a tight little rosebud that had not yet bloomed. But there is a quote that says “And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” This was the case for me. As time went on, my rosebud shell grew more and more uncomfortable for me. So one day I just took a c

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w
