I dare you!

“You'll never know if you never try to forgive your past and simply be mine…
I dare you to let me be your one and only”

Though I’m a tad bit salty about not getting tickets to Adele’s show in Philly (which sold out in 15 minutes), I’ve still been listening to the album constantly. She’s got one song called “One and Only” that I really love. She basically dares someone to open their heart and allow her to show them that she’s different. Not saying she’s perfect by any means, but not the same as those that came before.

I know that our experiences shape our perceptions and even our reality in most cases. But at one point do we allow ourselves to move past those experiences and the hurt from the past into something new without brining those feelings along for the ride? Of course healing takes time which isn’t a fixed number and varies greatly by individual. How can you allow yourself to be open again after being hurt, though? Honesty and trust are a given for that to happen. And like Adele, I dare you to forgive your past and open yourself up to what is to come.
Love and be Loved.
