Live and Let Love

Is it true, that if your heart still belongs to another you will only attract those whose hearts belong to others?

An interesting question/thought process posed by Tristan this morning. Neither of us is entirely convinced this is 100% accurate, but there must be some truth to the matter. If you are unwilling to relinquish your heart of the love and emotions and ties it holds to another, then how can you truly let yourself love and be loved properly by someone else?

This is too easily said, not so easily done. The heart wants what the heart wants, no matter what the head tries to tell it to do. There are no forces greater in this world than the deepest emotions we feel, especially towards those we have formed such intense and seemingly unbreakable bonds with.

But sometimes there comes a point in our lives where those bonds are broken, the ties come undone, the heart cracks a little more. We must gather ourselves up, collect our pieces off the floor, and learn how to carry on. And eventually over time, for some the time is brief for others long and painful, we all heal. The cracks in our hearts fill with the love for and from others and it strengthens our souls.

So I ask, how do you assure your heart that it's safe to let go? That it only cracks it bit by bit to hold on. That there are others who can lift you up and fulfill you and love you intensely.

How do you reclaim your heart?
