Love, one of the most wonderful feelings and emotions a person can express or let consume them. Many confuse love with other emotions because of what happens between them and the people that they have loved in the past. Sure, not every relationship is a relationship that will last forever, and true enough, some relationships may lead to a person becoming lonely, and feeling rejected, but we all should step into love knowing that it is quite risky giving our hearts out to people who will then have the ability to break them.

True enough, many of us have been hurt, and are reluctant to trust someone to love us again. In the long run doing so will only get you a life full of loneliness, instead of a life full of happiness. Feelings of loneliness and unhappiness kick in after long periods of being by ourselves because as humans we instinctively are drawn towards being part of a collective instead of being by ourselves.

I'm sure we have all at some point felt as though no one in the world has our back, and that no one cares or loves us, but this should never be true, because at the end of the day, it is inevitable for us to love ourselves first, so that other people may be able to love us as well. Usually us feeling like this doesn't really hold true anyway and we just aren't thinking clearly about those people that truly love us, or if we can just find the love we should have for ourselves then we will easily blossom into beautiful flowers that everyone wants to pick, take care of, and love. In order to love ourselves we have to find ourselves first. Sometimes it may have been years since we actually treated ourselves as good as we have treated other people and we have forgotten who we are, what we like to do, where we like to go, so on and so forth. Try taking advantage of the fact that you may be alone at this time in your life, and focus on you, the rest will come!

Speaking from experience, many times it is very convenient to be able to have a person to confide in and be able to tell any and everything to, at any given time, without them judging you. Though a friend like this may be exceptional, in the world we live in a friend like that may be hard to come by. Often times a friend like this will be someone you may have grew up with, or known for a long amount of time.

Sometimes people may confuse love with the relationships that they are in at the time. Being with someone through substantial ups and downs makes people feel obligated to stay with a person even after stints of being abused, cheated on, and mistreated. Even though a person being abused emotionally or physically or a person who may have suffered a loss is probably the best candidate for a fresh dose of love they are usually the ones who resist it the most.

On occasion there are people in our lives, and brought into our lives by unusual circumstance, coincidence, or just by typical life situations, that seem just to want to make everyone happy. These people may range from members of family to close or distant friends, and usually seem as happy as can be. Sometimes these people are the loneliest people we may know, and we might not even know it. Some of the loneliest people can reach out to you by being the best person that they can possibly be to you.
