The definition of bittersweet is a combination of both bitter and sweet, or an emotional feeling that is a mixture of both happy and sad.
The funny thing about life is that if you always follow the rules in your head, you will never live, you will just exist. If you live your life by what you think you are supposed to be doing, who you are supposed to be with or listen to what others say you are supposed to do, without a doubt, you will deny yourself some great experiences that can bring happiness and joy in your life. Love is one of them.
I am glad that I did not follow those rules because I would have missed out on a lot of great moments and pieces of happiness. I love hard, have always loved hard, and will always love hard…it is who I am and I will not change. Love is not easy some of the time. I remember someone once saying to me that love is not perfect, and that is the perfect thing about love.
You see, some of you will be lucky enough to meet someone who will love you, make a positive impact on your life, and leave a footprint on your heart. You will get to learn from them and enjoy the time you have together. But my friends, if you believe in Cinderella or the other fairytales we were told growing up, the one part they left out is that we may not get to marry them, enjoy many years alongside them living our till death do us part. The truth is, some of us don’t get to have that, but, here is something else that was left out of the fairytales…not ending up with them Does Not disqualify the importance of that person. Some people can love you more in a short amount of time than others could have ever loved you until the end of time. Some people come in your life and can teach you more in the time you had with them than others could teach you over the entire course your lifetime, and some people will come into your life only for a specific amount of time, but they will have such an impact on your life and your heart, that is an experience that some people will never have. Some of the time, it is love that is not unfair, but the timing that is unfair.
At the end, it is bittersweet, but please do not try to rewrite those memories, or alter the ways in which their love enhanced us for the better. It was your journey to enjoy. Your paths cross, and remember, they crossed for a reason. We got to love that person and learn from them. Every relationship has value, no matter how long it lasted. Please be grateful that you got to meet that person because the truth is that some people will never get to experience a love that can make them a better person.
Very thoughtful experience of love...it is really the truth behind the experience of love...thank you for sharing
