If you don't risk anything, You risk even more

Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more." -

Love is the most important thing in our lives. Material possessions, jobs, all of these pale in the face of real love. Sometimes we say we want to give up, this love I feel for this or that person is not worth this pain, but truthfully it is worth everything. If we don't take the risk, take the time, believe in it with all our heart, we lose so much. We even lose a part of ourselves.. The part of us that is that childlike faith in some more, a bit of us that knows that love does exist, the inner hope that we can trust that our Higher power wouldn't put a constant, full connection to another person in our heart without the hope that we will fulfill our dream. Subversive means an attempt to overthrow. This means we try over and over to toss out our love for another person but it won't go away. We date others, we sit alone, we cry, we laugh, yet this love will be worth it. If we don't take the risk, we risk ourselves.
