"We were given: Two hands to hold. Two legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find."
-Unknown
I love this quote, it gives you just a little bit of a quirk of life itself. But in addition to finding that other heart that's "yours" I also think that the reason why we were only given one, is because it's really not ours to begin with. It is just one part of yourself that is distributed (not necessarily evenly) to everyone we love in this life; it's something that we don't get to keep. Our one heart symbolizes the one thing that really matters that contains all of our hopes, dreams, and fears, and then just whisking away those worries and fears, and shedding love is like giving little pieces of your heart away to those that you shared those things with. So you were given that heart of yours to share amongst others, don't try to build up steel walls around it, so noone can take it; but, also don't just give it away to just anyone. It does no good to feel as if you haven't loved enough in your life, or that you haven't let anyone else love you in return, or feeling like others just walk over you because of your kind, free-giving nature. Just give it away to those you feel you can trust, and also be aware that you keep just a little piece for yourself.
After all you've only got one life, and one heart, you don't want to spend it all at once.
Spread the love guys.
