Can I Love You

Since the beginning of time, we long for love, to be loved and to be a part of loving families.  Both men and women seek love and as society consistently evolves, we have to ask ourselves, has it changed the way we seek after it?  Do we really know what the heart wants or for that matter, do we know our own heart?  We question ourselves time and time again when it comes to matters of love, people, professional career choices, schools, loved ones and the cycle never ends.  We sometimes doubt our own selves in choices that we make, waivering back and forth, right from wrong.

A man's heart is where lies his will, his emotions and/or feelings, one's conscience, his treasure.  In our younger years, we seem to be so free and so open, willing to share love in its pureness, not looking to gain but to give.  But as we age comes the experiences, the issues, the baggage, the hurt, the pain, the change in emotions and the way we treasure self and others.  Where did this come from?  How did we get to this place?  It comes from us not taking time out to know self, jumping from one relationship to another and not learning the lesson.  For this reason, we tend to not give our hearts so readily or freely, yet we long for the same love since the beginning.

What do we do now?  We begin to release the pain, seek help, take time to know self, know what we want, become accountable to someone.  We begin to develop solid friendships before diving into sex.  We begin to develop patience, faith, love for self and wisdom.  Read a good self help book, go to a therapist, talk to friends, not just any friend, but a wise friend and you can always be a part of Real Talk the Movement!  It is our endeavor that we change the way we think negatively about one another, about self, to enhance the love that dwells within, to wash away the pride, the guilt, the shame and iniquity.  To change a community that once was deprived to now reaping the harvest of their own hands.  This nation is in need of love and here is our chance to give back something that was given to us at the beginning of time.....LOVE!
