"Love is ecstacy and agony. Freedom and imprisonment. Belonging and loneliness. It is what keeps us together when life tears us apart."

Isn't it interesting how when you pick someone's brain on the subject of dating you can learn something new? Friend of mine has finally stepped out of a funk. She was in a difficult relationship that was going nowhere. She decided to let go and it was very painful, it took some time to grieve. Now the sun is shining, she is vibrant and full of life and even stepping "outside the box" (inside joke). She met a guy that tickled her fancy, so she decided she'd attempt to get his attention. She did, and even though she decided against the idea of further pursuit, once she learned more about him, it was a truly exciting moment. She is incredibly shy so this was a big deal. Now, with a fresh perspective and confidence - I believe she will find what she is looking for and I can't wait to see her happy.

Sometimes you have to open yourself up to possibility of love in order for it to find you.
