I read a post and wondered, "What if someone asked me these exact same questions?"

How do you know if a person loves you?

-You don't know. Instead you feel, you sense.

Is it how much he tells you? Or how much he remembers to text you?

-Words, like emotions have soul, even the most beutiful words remain hollow without a soul implanted by its originator.

Why is it that we know God loves us?

- We don't know. We have faith.

But not know if a person really does?

- Like I said, we can't be definite and know. But it can be felt, it shows, it glows.

How do you tell a frantic heart to not worry?

- You don't. It keeps worrying as long as it keeps feeling.

How do you know when to face facts or just continue living a lie?

- Don't live a lie to begin with. If you already are, and are too weak to face the music, find someone who will slap you silly with love and compassion.

How do you know when you're being deceived or when you are not?

- Sometimes you just never do. You just keep praying and let Him lead you.

How do you know when to stop and let it all go?
How do you know when to keep fighting?

- You can either fight for as long and as hard as you can, or you can fight as long as you are not being greatly disrespected, degraded and humiliated. Picking how long to fight and hang on varies on each individual's personality, strengths and weaknesses.

Personally, i keep fighting even after i have lost. I keep fighting until i am satisfied and know that in the future i will have no regrets.

The next 2 questions were personally directed at someone and are hence left unanswered by myself...

Are these questions just here because you're not here beside me?

Will it be different if you were?


Other questions which were not asked but things i have thought about:

How do you know you really love someone? (from my old xanga)

- When a precious moment can be time spent together in silence.
- When you like the person not 'because of' all the good things you see but 'in spite' of' all the flaws.
- When you come second to the person you say you love.
- When all that matters is that he/she stays happy.
- When a simple smile and and his/her morning look/fresh-off-the-shower look takes your breath away.

How do you know you're over someone? (From an old retreat topic)

- When the hate & the pain have gone. When memories of him/her are just memories. When u can say you're happy for him/her and/or you have forgiven him/her. When you come across them you can genuinely say "Hi! How have you been?", and more importantly when you can sincerely respond, "I'm doing well."

Why me?

-Because you can.



...just my two cents worth.
