Half of my Heart

         I can't believe how many "likes" and "looks" I got on my last entry after I didn't write in awhile. It had been about 3 weeks since I won't last. There were 30 "likes" last night after I got home and looked at it last night. I need to take about that much of a break every now and then, I guess. This entry is going to be about what one of my little girls said this past week and what it meant to me. It really did hit me hard.


         "Half of my heart loves her, and half of my heart is sad. But I'm on the love side."-Said by one of my little girls


            I just can't stop thinking about this saying. One of my little girls said it to me on Thursday at work and it has been on my mind ever since. She was having a fight with one of her girlfriends and was really upset and crying when she said it. I talked to her about what was going on and how she coulee handle it. After she felt a little better, she went onto play and I just laughed and thought it only gets harder from here on out. Not only with friends either. I thought about my friends and how I really felt about them. Then I thought it was the perfect way to explain I have been feeling and am feeling right now. This saying even went along with the message tonight at church.
             It was about love so that will be in the next one or two entries. Anyways, got off track. I couldn't explain how I was feeling in the past months but this quote really summed it up for me. I might even write a poem one of these days with the same title. This is what this quote means to me:
            Half of my heart loves my friends, and the other half of my heart is sad for reasons that I can't explain. Yet I am on the love side. I want to love my friends for who they are, not who I want them to be. I want my friends to be them and have fun. I love it when my little girl said that she was on the love side. That got me thinking that we should all want that for ourselves and everyone we come in contact with. The would would be a better place if we were all on that side.
              That quote could also be taken another way and maybe a little deeper or maybe it is the same way, I am just wording it differently here. The love half of the heart could mean that I love my friends for who they really are. The sad half of my heart could mean that I am sad and disappointed about the actions that they are doing. I could not be liking those. It is like the actions that the little girl's friend was doing. That little girl loved her friend and was on that side but she was sad because her friend was being bossy and mean to her. Her friend was telling her how to play the game that they were playing and making her "it" every time they would play it when she didn't want to be it in the first place.
               It goes to show that listening to our friends starts at a young age. The girl that thought she was in charge was not listening to her other friend. She was doing what she wanted and only wanted. We need to take the time to listen to people and show that we care for them. We need to watch out for our friends. We need to be on the Love Side at least and if not that then we need to Love with our whole heart. We need to love our friends and listen to them. That is what I am trying to get across in this entry. We need to love with all our heart, not just half of it.
