What point of love you are now?

Over the course of our lives, we fall in love with three people.

Each one has a distinct purpose.

Allow me to explain...

Our First Love normally occurs while we are young, and we eventually grow apart or call it quits over the silliest of reasons.

As you become older and more mature, you begin to believe that it was not love. However, it was.... It was love in the sense that you understood love at the time.

You must always keep in mind that there are various degrees of love.

Now for our second love, and this is the difficult one....

When you fall in love with this person, you are hurt. This one teaches us valuable lessons and helps us grow as individuals.

This love entails a great deal of pain, betrayal, abuse, deception, and emotional devastation.

However, believe it or not, this is the one in which we experience the most growth. We come to terms with what we genuinely know about love and what we don't.

As a result, we've built our walls because we're fearful of what the future may contain in terms of relationships.

And as a result, we become closed off, skeptical, extremely cautious, and slightly fearful. However, we now understand precisely what we want from a mate and what we absolutely do not want.

Our final and third love.

This one comes as a complete surprise. There is no warning. There is no indication at all. You do not seek this love. It locates you. You can erect all the walls you want, but they will crumble just as quickly as they were erected.

You'll find yourself naturally caring about that person.

They may not appear to be your typical type, yet as you gaze into their eyes, you become lost. You perceive no defects. You notice faultless flaws. You find yourself telling them everything about yourself and the events that shaped who you are now.

You desire a future with them. You want slow dances in the kitchen, walks on the beach beneath a starry night sky, and you want to marry them and have beautiful children that are an exact replica of the two of you.

And every night as you close your eyes to sleep, you find yourself praying to God and thanking him for the reasons it has never worked out with anybody else.
