My perception of Love - Lo que pienso sobre el Amor (part 2)

Love is like a big pillowcase  full with  cotton balls. You keep filling the pillowcase with cotton balls which are like tiny pieces of love, and you stuff it , and stuff it, and stuff it for years!!
Once a while you find someone you can share those cotton balls with, but some times that person doesn't appreciate or doesn't really care about your love, and that person walks away. Then eventually someone who really appreciates those cotton balls of love comes into your life and accepts them, and takes a share , but eventually for one reason or another that person needs to move away from your life, and takes some of your love with him (her) and you never forget that person, and he (she ) will never forget you. So the healthy thing to do is to go back and start filing your pillowcase with tiny bits of love to replace the empty spaces, instead of leaving the emptiness hurt you....Just move on!!  Eventually the right person will come along, or if it doesn't happen, use all that special love inside of you, to grow, to take care of yourself, physically and emotionally, for self improvement, to learn new skills, and most of all to give love to who really wants it and appreciates it. Don't let anybody abuse you, put you down, or take advantage of you!

El amor es como una funda de almohada , la cual llenas con pequeñas bolitas de algodón, a través de los años. De vez en cuando alguien entra en tu vida y acepta compartirlas contigo, pero entonces  esa persona  no aprecia el amor que le brindas y se aleja de tu vida. Eventualmente alguien que sí lo aprecia,  lo acepta, pero por cosas de la vida debe alejarse pero se lleva parte de tu amor y lo conserva para siempre, y nunca te olvidas de esa persona y esa persona nunca se olvida de ti. Lo mas saludable es volver a llenar  la funda de almohada con los pedacitos de amor para reemplazar las bolitas de algodon en los espacios vacios, en vez de permitir que esos espacios vacios te hagan daño.... Vuelve a la realidad!! Eventualmente la persona apropiada entrará en tu vida; pero si eso no ocurriese, utiliza todo el amor especial que has guardado dentro de ti, para amarte a ti mismo, para crecer como ser humano, para cuidar tu salud emocional y física, para aprender nuevas habilidades, pero sobretodo para dar amor a quien de verdad lo quiera y lo aprecie. No dejes que nadie te humille, que nadie abuse de ti, y que nadie tome ventaja de ti!!!

My perception of Love - Lo que pienso sobre el Amor

I believe that love is  like something tattooed on each neuron  of your brain; it's like a substance  impregnated in each drop of  blood that runs through your veins; it doesn't care about age, race, or gender; Love is infinite, and only occasionally happens between two people at the same time; love is indescribable, sometimes impossible, and some other times might need to be kept as a great secret'

El amor es como algo tatuado en cada neurona de tu cerebro; es como algo impregnado en cada gota de sangre que corre por tus venas; al amor, no le importa la edad, la raza o el género; el amor es infinito y solo ocasionalmente ocurre entre dos personas al mismo tiempo;  el amor es algo indescriptible, a veces imposible y para algunos, es necesario guardar como un gran secreto.

People Handle Crisis in very different ways

People handle crisis in diverse ways.

Have you ever asked yourself why you cry watching a movie, but when confronted with a crisis, or a loss in your life, in which you need to make vital decisions, there's no time to cry until the crisis is over, and then you ask yourself : "Did this really happen, or  have I been dreaming" ?

Some people freeze and are unable to make decisions, while others find unknown strengths  and act in ways  they would have never imagined, in order to handle situations that they would have never solved in a regular day.

How people behave after being exposed to a traumatic event can also vary. Some people shut down and would not talk about the experience, while others might  feel an urge to share their feelings, or talk about their experience numerous times to friends and relatives.

The sad part is that relatives and friends don't want to listen  to you , mostly because of difficulty dealing with their own grief and pain.

In case of an event where numerous lives have been  lost, and a person witness the event, it can cause mixed feelings related to "being alive" and grateful, or "being alive " and feeling guilty about it.

In each of these scenarios, talking about the  experience to a professional who has been trained to deal with crisis, and with survivors of  attacks, can help you keep a healthy marriage, keep a good friend, but most of all, can help you stay emotionally and mentally stable.
