As I layed my broken heart to sleep last night I noticed the oh so wonderful story of The Notebook on t.v. I have been running from anything and everything that has to do with love lately because I feel like it would only upset me. After passing over the movie twice I finally stopped and watched it. I kept telling myself throughout the beginning of the movie that I wouldn't watch the end. I wasn't going to let myself get upset. After watching almost half the movie I noticed my heart was filled with joy and hope. I no longer thought about not watching the end. Instead I was glued to the t.v. praying for the commercials to be over so it would get back to the movie.
I was so scared of the sadness I was going to feel by watching the movie I almost ignored it all together. The only thing that would have come from that would have been me going to bed bitter because I didn't want to watch two people fall, be and fight for love, because I missed the love I used to have. Looking back I realize that I have been running from a lot of things because I have been afraid of the outcome without even knowing truly how I would feel, or what would happen. Its the little things in life that guide the way for us to learn and grow. I realize not that I can not go through life without doing something just because I'm afraid of the outcome. To not take a risk you might be risking everything.
