Beaten Down by Love but Not Broken

Not Gon Cry~Mary J. Blige


Its crazy how the same things seem to happen to a buncha people at the same time but yet people think that no one could possibly understand what they are going through or as Musiq puts it,

People have a tendency
To think to themselves that they're the only ones
Going through more things than anyone else
But oh, I bet you'll beg to differ
If you would just consider the bigger picture
Cause then you would see that most people go through
The same things that you do in life
[Chorus:]
But you be alright
Cause if you can take it
You surely can make it
You'll be alright (yeah)
You'll be alright, Musiq Soulchild, Aijuswannasing

I dedicate this post to my friends who feel like love has beaten them down. I see these people everyday and I know that they are wonderful people.........But we all know bad things still happen to good people. I look at it this way: People are brought into your life for a reason and people are taken out for a reason. Thank them for what that person brought into your life and appreciate the things that because they left you would not have to experience later.

These are two lessons I have learned today. First, to be in a relationship with someone you must be equally yolked. Meaning you must be on the same path, same wavelength, have the same understanding of one another. If one person progresses in the relationship without the other person, its darn near impossible for that other person to catch up. Yes it is possible to be in a relationship all by yourself, but that relationship will not survive. It really does take two to tango. Secondly, trust is crucial. Love cannot live where there is no trust. How do you know someone will not cheat on you? You trust. How can you be sure that person will not hurt you? You have to trust. How do you live with not knowing what will happen next? You trust that everything will be alright. Everything comes back to faith.
