Wikipedia's definition of what a heart is:
The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions, or a similar structure in annelids, mollusks, and arthropods.
Ok.......so it's a muscular organ it is a necessity to sustain life. I mean, you can live without a leg, an arm, without teeth......etc etc. But you most certainly can't live without a heart. I guess that's why people relate love with the heart...........at least that's my guess. But what is love anyways? It's nothing tangible.
Well after five years of being single I feel that I am ready to step back in to the dating world. But along with that there is always a risk of getting hurt. Am I ready for that? Not to sure. Sure I feel ready to explore what is out there and get to know someone and I know that in that there is always the "pain" that would come along when something isn't working out. But then again saying that I am ready to start dating should therefore mean that I am ready to go along with anything that comes along with it.....................right??? Including the pain??? I guess I'm going through a crossroads.
Dating doesn't mean going along with anything that comes long. Dating is like shopping. If something doesn't fit, you put it back, but if you don't go shopping, you're not going to find anything. You've got to expect the possibility of being hurt if things don't work out, but there's also the chance that you'll find the guy who deserves you and who makes you happy. Dating means weeding out the shitheads and the dullards, and you can't let "cute" be your determining factor. Honey, you are one special lady, and not every guy is going to get you. Maybe they'll think you're too loud or too this or too that. Maybe they're not going to want to date someone with a kid. Well fuck them. They have absolutely not idea what they'll be missing. I think you're fabulous exactly as you are, and you need to start realizing that for yourself. You're obviously aching for something new to happen, so just let yourself be brave and risk the possibility of being hurt. I have been so crushingly hurt in my life, and it takes awhile to get over it, but you can't avoid it, and it only means that it meant something. Love ain't free, baby, but it's out there, and it's waiting for you. (And it better be with a guy who's secure enough to let you have friends like me!!!)
