I just spent a while creating this wonderful blog post about being in love and why I continue to keep my heart open and then my Internet decided it hated me and it stopped working and I lost the post. Perhaps this post will be better.
When you are with someone there are two possible outcomes of that relationship; you stay together or you break up. I think that often people forget that small little fact. The truth is your heart is going to be broken more than it is going to stay whole. I think someone telling you they care deeply for you is one of the most flattering things you could hear even if you do not reciprocate. Someone loves you enough to tell you and loves your whole being and that should make anyone smile. Even if you like someone and are not in a relationship with them there are two possible outcomes if you tell them, they like you or they don't.
So while my heart has been broken many times, I will not close it off to world, or the world will close itself off to me. Instead I will continue to love, and hope and smile for those I have met and those I have yet to meet.
For a heart to be broken there had to be love there in the first place, and that is something to be thankful for.
So everyday I smile for the boys and men who have been allowed into my heart, and I smile for the men who will be let into my heart, because one day I will find someone who keeps my heart whole.
