 Love Needs Exercise Too...

"Love doesn’t die; it dims. And with care, it shines again."

------------------------------------------------------------

The Illusion of Natural Decay:

To believe that a relationship is meant to fade into colorlessness and numb silence over time is almost like a form of emotional suicide. And yet, how enchanting the beginning always is.

Every layer of love is laced with surprise and wonder. The thrill of loving someone often drives us to

leave a blood-red rose on a balcony deep into a winter night, just to see them smile the next morning.

But somehow, the same person may one day forget to bring even a single rose on your birthday.

This is how it begins. One partner grows indifferent, the other sighs quietly, day after day.

Eventually, we excuse it all as "the natural course of time" and surrender the rest of life to that excuse.

A New Perspective:

But must it be that way? Can’t we avoid this emotional stillness if we are just a little more aware?

I believe we can. All we need is a shift in perspective. Everything new does not stay new forever,

That’s natural. But care is always a choice.

Love and the Body:

A Mirror Think of the body. Up to a certain age, it stays fit all by itself resilient even amidst chaos and

neglect. But not forever. Eventually, it demands attention. It wants discipline, a bit of daily exercise, a

conscious rhythm of nourishment. Exercise is hard. It takes effort. But if we skip it, the body retaliates

with fat, fatigue, and disease. Can we then blame only age? No, the body always avenges neglect.

And love is the same. 

The Turning Point:

There is a time when love flows so freely, so abundantly, that even trying to stop it would be in vain.

But when that flow dries up that is the moment to awaken, to realize that the love which once thrived

on its own must now be sustained with intention.

Daily Love Exercises:

Like the body, love now needs its daily exercise-

-  A single rose.

-  A lingering kiss.

-  One whispered, “I love you” at least once a day.

-  Give him or her the best compliment, and make sure it expresses “I need you.”

Yes, i know, when it no longer flows naturally, it may feel forced, may feel tiring.

But if you want your love to live, you must practice this exercise.

The Reward:

Exercise is hard but always healing.

Just like love, when tended with care, blossoms again not as new, but as eternal.

Written with heart, for hearts still willing to work for love.
