Growing up I always heard my grandmother say.....never love who you love always make sure to love who loves you. Translation just because you love someone doesn't necessarily mean that they love you as well, however with that person that shows you love you are sure that you have their heart.
When she used to say this to me as a kid it seemed so simple. Just go with who shows you that love and affection.........however now that I'm grown I realize that it's far from being that simple. It's no longer easy to tell those that sincerely love and care for you from those that don't . Sincerity is so rare these days that often times you find yourself caught up only to to find yourself being hurt in the end. Often you find yourself asking "Is this really love?"
These days love is not easily defined nor is it easily found. Often it seems like a whole lot of nothing. Before now I've never understood why people sometimes say love is overrated. I do now though. People share this thought because people are no longer sincere with their feelings it seems like there is always a personal agenda be it financial, sexual or just fun ....love no longer means anything to some its just a four letter word and they see nothing wrong with using it while breaking the hearts of others.
To those of us seeking that true love be not discouraged for there is love out there. Love that is sincere and everlasting is out there waiting for us. We must not allow ourselves to be detoured and disheartened by the phonies out there. We have to keep our heads up and hearts open and we will find it.
