My MVP Valentine

There comes a time in a man's life when he has to grow up, and regardless of when and how, the best time is always now. And no matter how much it hurts, no matter how angry you're beat up deep inside it is never a good idea to shut people out, because you always end up shutting yourself  in.

A lot of people live half alive, and half a lie.

It's so easy to hide you true self in the world, to hide behind your mask, to talk without really speaking, to hear without actually listening and to live and not be alive. Too many of us are scared of the world and what it may think of us. That if we smile, we're still weak. That if we laugh, we become foolish and that happiness always end up in hurt.

But that is of course, until he came and from one shining moment it all became graciously simple, and I have learned to live and love again and yet now more than ever i realized that I can never truly love someone without releasing the ghost of my past, the story behind this mask. I always believed that true love only comes once in a lifetime, so we must take it as it comes along and enjoy every bit of it, for it might never come again. People often ask what the best way to love is. After considering everything that comes with love, I think it is safe to say that the best way to love is to love like a child: pure, innocent and without hesitation.  As joe d' mango defines...

Love isn’t when you can’t sleep … it’s when you want to keep your eyes open…

Love isn’t when you keep holding on … it’s when you learn to let go …

Love isn’t when you kill yourself with jealousy … it’s when you understand …

Love isn't when you fall for someone … it’s when you catch that person when he/she falls…

Love isn’t when you see him/her everywhere … it’s when you close your eyes and he/she is still there …

And Love isn’t when you think you were blind … it’s when you know he/she was wrong but you didn’t mind!
