'The Dangerous Love Affair'

In a city of millions, everyone in Dubai has their own love story, from first love to love denied, to everlasting love and everything in between.
In the crib of amusement and success, love can be found but it can also be withheld. Many are willing to open up to the idea of falling in love all over again, betting all cards on their table and sometimes all eggs on one basket; those tend risk it all with no regrets at all, passionetley look forward to what might come next. As others rather take back steps and tend to keep it all safe in their pockets.

So I found myself wondering, just when you have finally picked up the pieces left behind form your last heart break and you hopelessly give love another chance, how many times are we willing to put ourselves out there and open up to someone new?
Do we constantly fall for the same kind or another one who might just bite the dust?

What is it about love that terrifies us to the core, where we get to a point of running a way without further explanation. Is it really that we are so scared to face what may happen if we give in too deep? or is it simply that we prefer standing on the safe side of our comfort zone.
How often do we take a chance to experience something new, someone different?

Change is constantly taught of as a warning, instead of an embrace for something better, something new, an opportunity for a positive outcome.
Someone once said 'at the end you will only regret the chances you didn't take, the things you didn't say and the actions your didn't stand for'.
I believe the past gives us the strength and wisdom to face our present, it builds up who you are today. Therefore, we should be thankful and embrace every experience, learn from it and look forward to what the future might bring.

Imagine what will it be of life, if our path would always be predictable.
Therefore be odd, be weird, be different, be careless and most of all be proud of who you are stand up for yourself with dignity and don't be afraid. At the end only your happiness and satisfaction will matter and those who you share it with, will be the lucky one's who appreciate it enough to be part of it.

Remember this, 'your life is yours, and yours alone' live it, love it and embrace it.
