I Can't Make You Love Me
You'll know it when you feel for someone. You can't help who you fall in love with, you can't help what your heart will persuade you do and you can never prepare yourself well enough for the reciprocation that you receive.
Love will make you do things that you never thought was possible and love will also make you feel things that you never knew existed. You'll try to tell yourself that maybe in time, if you tried harder that things will work out. So you mask the uncertainty that you feel with a half smile on your already chipped heart. You open the flood gates, expecting nothing in return. You try to chase away the bad dreams with that vague but heartfelt stare that they give. You try to calm your heart's edged intuition as you close your eyes because their warmth overpowers walking away on a cold night.
Hope. That is all you can do. Hoping that they will join you on a path less traveled. Hoping that they will hold your hand and accompany you on that roller coaster of a life. Hoping that they will realize what is in front of them. Sure you may not have a fancy occupation, you may not have your whole life figured out, and may not be sure where this whole experience is going but there is one thing that you are sure of, the feeling that you have for them. You can only hope that in time that they will realize that you've given them all that is left in you.
You can only support them to where they want to go in life, with or without you. As they walk away, you just have to let them take your love as a souvenir of what could have been. As much as you apologize for being a mess because you've unleashed your most deepest inner thoughts, you look best when you speak from the heart. Pain is inevitable BUT suffering is optional. It's not a bad thing to be wanted but why yearn for someone that doesn't reciprocate that same feeling? It is a sign for you to fall back and to give up the fight.
People should not be reckless with other people's hearts and you should not put up with people who are reckless with yours. So as much as you'd risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly, just know that someday...someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.
.."I will give up this fight. i can't make you love me if you don't..you can't make your heart feel something it won't"...

World Offering
Sometimes when times get hard, we look at ourselves and ask the question "why?" Why are we put into this life, in this position and at this given time. We ponder and think to ourselves, "what am I doing wrong?" when we don't get what we want, when we want it. In reality there is nothing wrong with us. Many of us have dreams, aspirations and goals whether it is short or long-term. However, life does not come easy and without the tribulations, there can be no triumphs.
Many times we don't recognize our potential because we are too busy being self critics. Looking at our faults and nit picking at our weaknesses, we slowly start becoming pessimists instead of optimists. We tend to forget that no one is entirely perfect and that we are blessed in our own individual ways. Everyone has a chance to be something great and share that greatness with the people around them. They say that laughter is contagious, well I've said that sharing love is infectious. People often don't know that it is the little things that can make a person feel special, ease a situation, leaving someone with an impression that will embedd into their memories. We all may have different missions in this lifetime but I know one thing is for sure, we were all meant to share what we embody...our ideas, our talents and our hearts.
I know that each and every one of us try to strive for the best in life because we all deserve the best that life has to offer. It is all entirely up to us on how we want to achieve our dreams because after all, we are in control of our own lives. We are constantly trying to search for the best because often times, we want to out do ourselves and we tend to think that there is better and bigger after each accomplishment. However, what if we thought of things in a different perspective. Instead of striving to get the best out of life, why don't we strive to give life the best out of us. There is the saying that we reap what we sow, but what about us thinking of it in retrospect to where we we teach other people how to reap as well, so that we can reap dreams of building a better tomorrow.
As corny as that may sound, all of us has something to give. Because in the end, there’s a lot more you can offer the world than the world can offer you.
