Love, Love, Love......Love is all you need
I wrote this last valentine's day and I kind of liked it....so i am re-posting :)
p.s. GREAT night last night......love my girls....
Happy Valentine’s Day OR Happy Singles Awareness Day
….take your pic!! Hahaha
So in the spirit of today, I thought that I would write a little bit about how I feel on about love. There are many different kinds of love, many different levels to it…I love my family, I love my friends, I love music, I love cheesey gordities….easy mac….waterpolo…..and the list goes on and on and on. But this is a different kind of love isn’t it.
Like I am taking about love on a totally different level....like head-over-your heels love.
Does this exist?
I am talkin like pretty woman....dirty dancing...romeo & juliet type stuff.
Is that real or is that just hollywood trying to glamorize everything??
Is there really one person out there meant just for you??
Do you ever meet that person??
Like that could be anyone....think about it. The boy next to you in class....the cashier at wal-mart....the bus driver....you friend’s roommate’s brother....i mean the possibilities are endless.
How do you really know the person that is destined for you?
Do you just causually run into each other somewhere and the sparks start to fly??
Is there such thing as love at first site?
Maybe fate brings you together and you don’t really even realize it.
Is there such thing as fate or destiny....or is it us trying to pun things off onto an external locus of control (thank you elizabeth loftus...haha ;) )??
If you don’t meet that one person....are there other people that you could still love??
Is love timeless??
Does true love ever fade.....do the sparks stop??
Will we ever really know the answers to all of these question??
HAHA nope probably not huh......
well here is my take on the stance on a little thing we call love....
Where do I begin?? Let’s start with fate. I do believe in fate...there is a purpose and lesson behind a lot of the things we do. I don’t think that fate has a definate control over our lives, i would still like to think that we have the power of free will. Fate just kinds of guides us in the right directions....shows us the right way and opens the doors, but the decision is ours alone. There is some deeper reasoning with things that happen in our lives that we don’t fully understand at that point in time....but in the end it all makes sense. Kind of like “the five ppl you meet in heaven” (read it!!). There are people in your life that you effect and that effect you.....and you have no idea until in the end, then every purpose and impact in your life is then revealed.
Moving on to love.... I do think that love can be “hollywoodized”....it happens for some couples i am not going to lie. Some people do meet their perfect match and I hope that someday I will also. Yet once the sappy hollywood love movie is over....then what? Is life from then on “happily ever after” and they ride off into the sunset and live the rest of their lives in this “honeymood” stage. Yes that is love. Is that real life is the question? We all want that don’t we?? The cliche?? That would be great....i am not denying that. My point is that love has a deeper meaning and understanding then this. Love grows over time and becomes a stronger and stronger bond between people. The honeymoon stage only lasts for a little while.....it’s this deep, powerful, meaningful love that lasts a life time. That is timeless love.
Is there such thing as love at first site?? No i don’t think so....that is just my opinion but at first “site”...i don’t really know about that. I would hope that love is deeper then superficial apperance. You can feel alot of chemistry when you first get to know someone.....that I can see. There may be that one person out there for all of us.....and i pray that we all find that perfect match. Yet I also believe that there are many people out there that we can love and that can love us. Maybe we are in this hollywood state that we are looking so hard for the “perfect” when we are missing out on the “good”. Because the “good” could turn into the “amazing beyond belief”. The dreamy guy who would sweep my off my feet....yes that would be nice....but really I want someone who i love to spend time with....someone who i can grow old with. That when I am with them....there is no place else in the world I would rather be.
Now I don’t know alot about love. I don’t even know if this all makes sense...i am just writing whatever pops into my head right now. I may be completely contridicting myself in many ways....i don’t know. This is a pretty deep issue. We will never know the answers. I hope that we all just find what we are looking for....
