When Two Hearts Become One

By: Kenneth Stepp

Have you experienced this? I have only once. This is when both love equally. Two damaged, hurt, scared hearts, beat from exposure, are miraculously joined as one. You would think nothing could separate them again. Yet it did. It’s been so long, it was 100% my fault. Blind sighted, lied to, and manipulated. That was me. But it was me that succumbed to these tactics.

How does one come back from this loss? Mine actually ended well. We are still part of one another’s lives. We are great friends. Romance is long gone, but what’s left is far more valuable than that. I wouldn’t trade one for the other for anything on earth.

Sometimes two hearts are joined, not by romance, but by friendship, like the one I just mentioned. I have one friend i met when I was 19, in a fight at a pizza joints hangout. I knew that night we would be friends for life. He tells that story better than me. Through very good, and very bad times, we still are great friends. For you history buffs. Abe Lincoln was president then. And before you blame me. I had nothing to do with the event in the theater that night. Terrible play anyway.

People are an interesting study. They are so complex and wonderful. Other than bullies, I love them all. I call all the different people in my life, my mosaic. I can’t think of a better word for them. All so different, so amazing, so wonderful. They are Christians, Muslims, Spiritualists, Atheists, Gay, Straight, and maybe something in between. When I discovered God wanted me to love them all and judge no one. It changed my life forever. Now, I have so many real friends, care about everyone I meet, and want to make a difference in lives for the good. It’s why I dedicate 5 hours a day, 7 days a week to my nonprofit. People are the greatest commodity in the universe. All people. Not just those like me. It isn’t my “job” to point out their faults. Just to love them.

Back to two very special hearts beating as one. This is a true phenomenon it turns out.

“Psychology says that when people in love stare into each other's eyes, their heart beats can start syncing together” - Psych Fact

My advice is to be the love someone seeks and allow them to be yours. Be it friendship, romance, or something in between (yes there is a between). This is a way to enjoy instead endure.
