Just chilled today. I ended up going to a party with some friends last night. The party was mad full and all that happened there was drinking and dancing. I saw a bunch of people I knew though, which was sick. We ended up chilling with our friend who was part of the group throwing the party.
It was really good seeing him again. I don't think I've seen him for a couple of months now. And his girlfriend was there too. She's pretty awesome. Anyway, it was good seeing my friend and how happy he was around his girl. The way they acted toward each other would just warm your heart. They seemed perfect for each other. Those two could just stare at each other smiling and it would seem like they had the best conversation in the world. No words would be spoken but something happens.
They gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another that didn't need words to show. It's an understanding that most people don't achieve unless they find someone they can truly love. Someone they can pour their heart out to, knowing that that person will still be there after you're done. Someone who can love you for who you are and not for what you have or what you can do. There are a million things that can show someone loves you but what is needed the most, is the trust that they give each other. Without it, there can be no deeper understanding of one another. Without trust, one will never be able to open themselves up enough for love to seep in.
Talking about this reminds me of a quote I came across over the years.
“What is love? Love is when one person knows all of your secrets... your deepest, darkest,
most dreadful secrets of which no one else in the world knows... and yet in the end, that one person
does not think any less of you; even if the rest of the world does.”
Love is a strange thing, isn't it? It can turn two individuals into a single entity. It can hit you when you least expect it but can be one of the greatest things there are. Love can make the pain go away but can also inflict one of the worst kinds of pain. It can provide comfort and togetherness. But can also cause discomfort and loneliness. I believe love is a continuum. The line that separates the two sides of love is small. A tiny action can shift the tide of love to the negative side no matter how far you are on the positive side. Love is a funny thing like that.
But I'm not saying that they'll be together forever. The future isn't set in stone and can change in an instant. What I'm trying to say is, even though the person you are with might not be the one, it's important to treasure every laugh, every smile, every tear, the silence, just every moment together no matter what. It doesn't matter if those moments are with friends, a lover, or anyone. It just matters to treasure those moments because those moments are the things that will define who you are.
life,
friends,
love
