HWSNBN (Final Part, 2019)
They say men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. Whether into the planets or not, we can all recognize that men and women can sometimes be so diametrically opposite, we can only wonder whether or not we remain the same species.
For example - Men have an easier time juggling multiple relationships at a time. They are capable of nurturing equally profound relationships with more than one woman, and still faithfully claim that their heart only belongs to one out of the “bunch”.
The truth is.. men tend to love anything that loves them.
Who they love and who they choose to love can be completely separate things.
Often times, who they love is someone they would have a hard time continuing to love in public, because it would expose a deeper, more vulnerable part of themselves.
So they’ll go for something safe, something that agrees with who they’ve portrayed themselves to be when everybody was looking.
Who can blame them.. why go for complete and utter agony for a life, constantly wondering when the other shoe will drop, what will the other person do with your heart.
Fear can be a powerful force, powerful enough to kill the most organic, sentient love, and sometimes, you should let it.
I, in the year marked on the title, was victim to loving one that loved many. And I chose that love over many things.
For what it’s worth, I got a lot out of it for myself. I faced insecurities, crippling pain (because when your heart hurts, everything hurts), and still came out okay.
So love doesn’t kill. But love is two-sided, it has two premises and they must work in unison.
Paying attention to the symphony, the harmony of it, from the beginning - crucial.
Any dissonance must be straightened out - who knew that all it took to cure heartache was laying it out flat, not for everyone to see but for you to see.
Anyway. Love carries you away. You just got to make sure it’s carrying you in the direction you want to go.
If no, then love becomes the very weapon used to kill your sense of being.
It’s that powerful.
