The little girl looked up at the sun one fine early morning… She greeted the birds that flew past her and admired the sounds of the beautiful doves that soared above her. The sun seemed to have been shinning on only her, for she never knew this type of serenity before. For the first time in a long time, she was at peace with herself. She swore she could float; her eyes lifted to the sky as she embraced the warmth coming from the sun. She closed her tiny little brown eyes and asked the sun, “Why are you so bright”? The sun replied and said, “Because, love like this can’t be hidden”, the little girl looked confused and said, “What do you mean”? The sun laughed gently and replied “I rise every morning just for you little girl, so that you may feel my warmth on your tiny brown cheeks, so you can absorb the rays of love coming from my soul”. The little girl smiled and said, “How can you love though? You don’t have feelings…” The sun was getting tired of shinning so bright and decided to dim down a bit, the little girl noticed this and said, “Why did you do that”? The sun looked down on the little girl and said, “Because, it’s almost time for me to hide behind the clouds, the clouds don’t like it when I’m taking up the whole entire sky. “Will you be back tomorrow”? The little girl asked. “Yes, I will be back tomorrow”. The next day the sun came back out and the little girl ran outside to greet the sun, but the sun wasn’t shinning as bright as the little girl wanted it too. So she asked, “Sun… Why are you so dim today”? The sun looked down at the little girl and smiled. “Little girl… You complain way too much, you need to learn how to appreciate things, so from now on, I will no longer come out at 6am anymore, for I will appear at 8am from now on”. The little girl began to whine, “No! You can’t do that”! The sun giggled and said, “How can you love something that you don’t appreciate? You need to love something weather it’s there or not. Once you realize that it has been taken from you; only then will you understand its value. The little girl looked up at the sun and started to hum, she didn’t know what else to do, and then without a thought she said, “If you can’t come out at 6am anymore, I will come out at 8am as well, so we can talk together… Like we always do”. The sun laughed and said, “You do not understand child, perhaps one day, you will learn”. The sun began to disappear behind the clouds. The big blue sky felt empty to the little girl. The sun used to fill the sky with love and light. The little girl looked at the clouds and said, “Do you know what love is”? The clouds looked at one another and said, “Love is the way the world and the universe talk to each other. Through love, they are one whole. They love each other; not because they need each other, but because they appreciate one another’s existence. If love didn’t flow through us like water, what would be? Do you ever ask yourself that question? What is LOVE? Is it sex, hope, infatuation, or lust? What is LOVE to you? Love has only one meaning… Life. Life is what makes love exist. Without LOVE, what are we? What do we have to offer? Is the world spinning because it chooses too, or is it LOVE? The world love’s you as God loves the world. Looking for LOVE will take a lifetime. You have to let LOVE find you first. That can only be done by loving YOU first! Who says you’re ugly, worthless or un-needed? Who validates there opinion’s? Friends? Me? Your mom or dad? No, no one but you. You choose to let go, and you choose to hang on. What you did or what you are doing NOW, doesn’t define YOU! Your actions, your self worth and awareness define you! Who ever challenges that does not love them selves. For they look for the visual weakens in others to satisfy there low self-esteem. What we do today can change how we think of ourselves, how we treat others, and evidentially, change how we see our selves. Do you have LOVE for your self? Do you appreciate who you are? Under all the make up and gossip, who are you? What do you have to offer? Is your aim to make the world a worse place, or a better place? Does LOVE runthrough your veins? Who are YOU?
