Evening Enlightenment

Sitting on my verandah enjoying the evening. Before I realize it so man couples start passing by. Some people I know, others that I wonder from what egg they hatched. But for the ones I know, I never thought I'd see them together like this; walking their mini me. It is weird how many turns one has to give in life until we bump with the one. 

In life I Have learned that when you think you found the one, hurricane strikes, destroys and takes away all you had. It's then when you fight every day to start again, all over as one. But before you know it you meet your other half, the better half. 

At this point, you have lived, you have loved and you have been struck by life. You are a better person than back then, because you now you take the scars with you to remind you where you are heading to. 

Many people waste their lives looking for love. They are too blinded by the  idea of it, that they are unable to recognize it in true form. Love is not perfect. Love is a mess. But it's both your duty to do clean up. Sometimes you will work harder allowing the other to relax and vice versa. 
When you find love, cherish it. Don't let it go. The minute you find your soulmate you will know. It might take some time for the energies to settle but at the right point it will strike like lighting. From there onwards inseparable; for every problem there will be a solution. 

Love is amazing, but dangerous in bad hands. Remember, love is not blind, just accepts imperfections as they are, it gives it all without expecting anything in return. Once it's pure, it wont leave your side.
