LOVE
love is one of those things that no matter how hard you try to understand, you never can fully comprehend it. it is even more impossible to try to explain it to someone.
but what if you could finally BEGIN to grasp the idea behind it; realize exactly the magic that unfolds behind every couple in love?
the past couple days the topic has been laid in front of me and as i have tried to see what "the meaning of love" is, i think i have learned several important things, which i'd like to share:
1. Love: i would not consider it another emotion, because emotions change quickly. isnt happiness an emotion? no. since love never changes, only grows, love is not an emotion ,rather a decision. a decision that you are going to put the needs, wants, and desires of another's life before your own. that you are giving yourself to another selflessly and totally. that you are deciding to make yourself vunerable so that your love can grow strong. deciding that even if it hurts, even if it doesnt make sense, even if it goes against everything you want and you think is right- if it is for the good of the person you love, than you will let it happen, because you love them.
2. people, including myself, seem to think that love and perfection go together. rethinking a lot of the things i had known to be what i wanted, i came up with some good stuff:
as humans we tend to be looking for the perfect man or woman to have a relationship, to share our lives with, to love. yet, if we are searching for perfection, i can save you the trouble- you'll never find it. i myself am anything but perfect, so how can i expect to find someone perfect, when im far from it too? the fact is its not finding "the perfect person", its finding the person thats perfect for you.
**well thats all i have time for tonight-i'll finish later
