Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike … If I love the girl who cares who you like?”

And with those words, Ralph Tresvant cemented his place as one of my all-time favorite love philosophers. Ok, “philosopher” may be a strong word, but you have to be willing to look past the source to embrace the message.

What Ralph was attempting to explain is that there are times in life and in love when you can’t listen to the opinions of other people. When your friends and family tell you one thing, but your heart is telling you something totally different, you may just have to look past them and follow your heart. Now that decision may or may not work out, but regardless of the outcome, you’ll at least have the comfort of knowing that you followed your heart. To me, that’s what makes love so great—it’s the moments when you step out on faith, take a chance, and are rewarded for living without fear.
