I have never come across anything like love. It is something that can be so complex yet also so simple. It is something that is so fragile, yet so strong. It can be confident yet shy. And mostly, it's one of the most powerful things we have in our lives.
Despite all of these things we fall into routines and lay down on familiarities. We might never question whether someone loves us or not but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be reminded that they do. It is our job to break our routines, dismiss our habits, and make more of a point to love bigger and better (especially for the people in our lives who mean the most to us).
I've always believed there are several different kinds of love and as we live our lives we experience different types. I've experienced first love (young love), the love of an amazing family, oddball love, yet (with the exception of my family) I don't know if I've ever experienced 'true love'. I think of pain experienced and hurt felt and I ask myself, "is that really what love is?" Maybe so, maybe not..but that's what led me to my different types theory. There are all different kinds and maybe the one we should be striving for is the pure true kind.
In any relationship love takes work and over time it doesn't necessarily take more work to love but it takes more work to remember why you fell in love with that person and to keep that love a healthy love. Just like anything love transforms and there are going to be growing pains. Don't forget the lessons love has taught you.
Sadly, we learn the hard way most times and even though love is this great all consuming thing we sometimes find ourselves holding back from it. Please, never do this. Never look back and say I wish I would've loved better or differently. If you love someone (that must mean they are pretty important to you) it's our job to take care of the important people in our lives.
Recently, I've found myself so in like with someone. He is just the best person I've ever met and if I were to sit here and say that it doesn't scare me a little that would be a lie. I've just been being patient and letting things play out but something happened and I just told him exactly how I felt. I was scared for a few seconds but then I felt this great sense of peace in my heart because I knew no matter his response that he knew the truth. That he knew how I felt and that I told him and I TOOK the chance to tell him. It's true when they say moments will pass you by. They are there for the taking so take them. It's like every time you declare what's in your heart this energy in released into the universe and no matter the outcome, there is this sense of balance because instead of your heart baring a secret, it's sharing a truth with the cosmos.
Love conquers all, even death. Love is something we carry in us no matter where the person is. And I don't know what happens once we die (I have my own beliefs) and if I really do get to experience eternal life my heart is so happy knowing that the love I experienced on Earth will be waiting for me when I get there.
Take the time do something special for those you love. It can be as little as telling them good morning or sending them a card. Love is a most precious gift that is so easy to give. Never question giving to others, just do.
