Think about what LOVE really is ….. in my opinion it's improvised. It's about being 'in the moment.'
In the moment as it is with improvising a scene. Suddenly it happens, and you stop questioning the why and how of it, you just must live it to the fullest and enjoy the ride.
After all it's only a moment in time, one that I find myself initmately connected with another human being. This means I'm leaving my human side vulnerable.
So I must allow someone inside of me. I have to give someone enough confidence to allow them to enter
into a deeper relationship with me, and so I need to consider these concepts.
I find this area the most difficult! It's a tougher ‘row to hoe,’ and there are potholes. I really prefer to stick to my 'comfort zone.' but this means going outside my comfort zone.
The problem is that I'm not an island. I can decide not to let anyone inside, but then my relationships will not be successful.
Over the years I've developed strong coping skills to survive, and this makes me, a 'survivor.'
I don't wish to be hurt just the same as anyone. I understand that someone seeing my human side, opens up my frail side. I like to be strong and be the man.
Though I realize the quest for love is tough, it is the one quest that is worth the trouble and risk of taking,
