She believes that many of us have experienced, or are experiencing, what she calls “young, dumb loving”
at some point in our young adulthood.
But why does she call it dumb loving?
It is the kind of love that follows the heart without restraint,
without calculation,
and without fully considering the consequences.
Rarely does young, dumb loving lead to a fairy-tale love story.
Beyond circumstances, it happens only rarely.
Either both end up in a reluctant relationship, drift apart at some point in life, or continue their shared journey through difficult; even tragic moments.
As time passes, choices emerge.
One either has enough courage to release what no longer belongs,
or allows stubbornness to throw her into the abyss,
without realizing it may leave her with nothing but a heart full of silent wounds.
Stubbornness
To hold on is to believe in a reward not yet known,
– MonaZ –
to move on is to risk regretting what tomorrow might have revealed.
It is possible that we are born with stubbornness.
It is not a question of intelligence.
Stubbornness either gives us wisdom shaped by experience,
or allows our instincts to guide us toward what feels like a great win.
Either way, it becomes part of our path to wisdom.
It reflects the saying:
“Before you know how to walk, there is always a chance you may fall.”
In time, stubbornness learns its lesson and realizes that; the happiness within love cannot be imposed. When love is over, everything that follows becomes an act of taking advantage of the other.
And because of that stubbornness in it, one may choose to release something without thinking twice; without allowing the heart another chance.
Yet this gives the stubborn soul another journey;
to experience a deeper level of wisdom and understanding.
Stubbornness is born with the ability to know what it wants,
and the courage to believe in itself,
setting confidence upon its own journey of self-discovery.
