Love

When you come from a large family, it's safe to say that you have a lot of people who love you. One thing that we forget is, what happens when those people begin to lead their own lives. What changes when you're the youngest and all of the sudden it feels as though everyone is just leaving you...I believe the greatest thing a family can give is support. When you have that support, love comes with the package of them being there for you...But what happens when that support, and that love begins to feel as though it no longer exists. My guess is you start to feel lonely. You begin looking to friends, partners, and others for that feeling of love. We begin to depend on them for that eternal happiness, for the feeling of security, and care that we have maybe never had. Eventually, we forget to look to ourselves. Of course all is easier said than done, but it's important to remember that people do love you, and just because they can't be there at every minute of every day for you, doesn't mean that they don't. To make such assumptions can ruin a lot of good friendships and relationships that you may have. Your happiness only depends on yourself and no one else. If you can't love yourself, than how can you expect to allow anyone else to. It's a downer, when we finally realized things, once we've lost them. Ideas don't compare to the real experience. See love is anything but complicated, but the ideas, the insecurities, and the fears we engulf ourselves in, make it an impossible wall for anyone to get through. We become that fear. We eventually are left alone, as a result of our inabilities to believe or trust in the possibility of someone actually loving us. Simply because we've allowed our past experiences to become our present. But I do believe there's always time to start a new. Just let people love you, and love yourself, despite any past encounters, there's no reason not to.
