Life As I Know It.

I, as of this moment, don’t have it in me to start on my love life.

I will say this much, my heart has been broken more times at 22 than I ever wanted or anticipated it would be in my entire lifetime, through mistakes of my own and others, the latter I gladly will assume all the same as mistakes of my own.

And yet. I am still the hopeless romantic I have always been. I believe in true love a little bit more everyday. I believe more in soulmates the more I am shown how deeply other people can damage you. I retain my hope, I hold my heart fast and secure, I am in possession of the greatest reservoir of love given freely to people around me.

But I have learned, and am sure will keep on learning, to protect my magic, to guard my heart, and to be wiser in deciding not only in who gets behind the door to my heart, but who even gets to stand before the walls that precede the sacred door.

I do not yet know how to do this perfectly, but as this statement has been true all my life with everything I attempted, I have no doubt it will also be true in my love life;
