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?

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...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
