It seems contradictory, right?
We have such wide and open heart.
We want to love and love some more.

It seems contradictory, right?

Xan Griffin
We search and search, trying to find our forever person.
And then we pick the person who is completely wrong for us.
But in time, we realize it isnt a good match.
And yet, we dont give up on it.
I dont know why I do it.
Am I naive or dumb or just desperate?
Are we all just so hungry for love that we throw our values and our standards away?
Maybe we do it because we dont know anything else.
Maybe we do it because we know that at least, that person wont leave.
Even though the love isnt authentic or real.
Even though we know deep down, he or she isnt the one.
I used to think love was easy.
You know, like love was something both parties just felt naturally.
But as it turns out, love is hard work.
Its never going to be a walk in the park or even a run in the park.
And maybe we dont realize our own worth.
Maybe we dont see our own selves even after 20 something years of living.
Maybe we think we deserve love that isnt so great.
Or maybe we think we deserve love that is a one way street.
Its sad to think that people believe they arent lovable, so they find whatever person who wants them.
Its sad to think that we as human beings dont know our own damn value.
We need to stop holding onto the wrong people.
We need to stop pressing ourselves against men and women who dont give a shit about us.
We need to stop chasing people who wont chase back.
We need to stop pretending its love, when it isnt at all.
We need to stop getting ourselves into relationships, just to be in a relationship.
We need to stop settling for anything that is less than love.
I know we arent dumb.
We arent gullible or naive to believe that its love.
So we need to quit jumping into things that arent ours to jump into.
We need to start listening to our gut instinct.
We need to start listening to what we feel and how we feel instead of what another person feels.
Stop loving people who are wrong for you.
Stop attaching yourself to people who bring you down.
Stop making friends with people just because they are cool or rich or successful.
Fake love isnt real love.
Its just an imaginary fantasy.
A hopeful friendship that could blossom into something more.
But you know its wrong.
I know its wrong.
We all know its wrong.
So, why do we keep doing it, over and over again?
When we know it isnt right.
