"To me, love is seeing the person to be perfect. There is not a thing about them you do not love. There are no habits or quirks that annoy you or irk you in any way. All those little things about them that turns everyone else off doesn't do the same to you. It's when they are constantly on your mind. When you want their happiness more than anything in the world and you would give them anything in the world to make them 100% happy.. now if only it were that easy. When, if you think they're sad, you feel sad for them. When you simply cannot get enough of them. And when you kiss it just feels oh so right. When just being held close is euphoric. When you can feel safe. When it's OKAY to just be yourself. When you call just to see how they are or if they're okay. When you just get that FEELING from just being around them. And this could go on...."
That is the most honest, thought-provoking paragraph in the entire 2-page note that Rebecca Jean Miller wrote to me. It's all true, every bit of it. I could never have said it better. It really makes me think about everything. She also gave me this quote:
"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
-Sam Keen
How true that is. You are all probably sick of my lovey-dovey entries, but this is just one of those things that I need to address. It annoys me how people say it ONLY to say it. If you truly mean it - if you know that you're honest-to-goodness in love - then say it. But if you just plainly have nothing better to say... well, that's just fake and stupid and preposterous.
I mean, just think about it. ♥
