Love, such a small yet powerful word. One word that can both make or break someone. It makes the world go round. Whether it be a family type of love or a passionate, true love. Some don't believe in true love, but I am a cheesy romantic. I believe in love at first sight, in having one person that is meant for you and only you, and that love is a possibility for all. I believe that the person I am destined to be with will become a part of my life and I will just be so utterly mad in love. Someone that adores the quirks and imperfections of mine, and is there to comfort me in moments of despair. I believe there is a person for each person in this world, and it's up to us whether or not we take the risks necessary in order to find our way to this person. It is once we find this person we must never let go of them.
They should be a part of us. We should feel complete with them, as if your entire life has been leading up to this moment, to them. That all the tears and conquests that one has ever faced were to lead them to that moment where they find the one they are meant to be with. So that they are no longer alone in those troubled times, and have someone to fight their battles with them. Love entails selflessness.One can truly tell if they love someone if they put the person before themselves, you want more for someone than you do yourself. Love is beautifully chaotic. It drives us insane and makes us think things possible that never were before. It brings us both tears of joy and despair.
Love is one of the greatest things in existence and the loss of love is one of the worst pitfalls in life. Love comes and goes in life. There will be people that slip through your fingers, and you sit there wishing that you could go back to get them but it's too late. Sometimes love isn't reciprocated and you have been left a fool. Putting everything out there in hopes that one day that person will stretch out their hand and love you back, but that doesn't always happen. Sometimes love fades, and the person you couldn't imagine yourself living without becomes a stranger. Some can try to hold on to that, but that love is now dead and gone. You can fight for it back, but it doesn't always mean that it will come back.
That's why we must appreciate love and enjoy it while we can because it doesn't always last. We have to hold on to those who are most important, but we mustn't hang on to those who do not feel the same or don't want to put forth the effort. Love is precious. Love is timeless. Love is unpredictable. We never know with whom it could happen or when. It hits us at the most unexpected of times and we have to take advantage of every standing moment to fully enjoy it. We must express our love and not conceal it, with not caring for the judgment of others. As love is fleeting and so rare. So when you find someone that takes your breath away, makes you feel those butterflies, safe, adored, cared for and just at home you take it and you run. Run and don't look back.
Love feels like fireworks. Looking for someone and seeing your whole world, your past, present, future it all lays there in their eyes. Someone has that much power over you, they make your knees weak and your heart flutters when you see them. It's unlike anything else. That feeling when you're kissing and you think and wish and hope that you could just stay in that moment forever. Because when love is good, it is all-consuming. All you want is that one person forever.
Love can sometimes bring out the insecurities and deep thoughts one pushes to the deep corners of their mind, and it is in those time that love is the trickiest. It's so hard to allow oneself to fall and fall truly and deeply when there creep doubt and fear. Love is more powerful, but only after one chooses to not sub come to the abyss of fear and doubt. It's love that should make one feel as though they can rise above it all, and more importantly not alone. Because even in a world with around 7.2 billion people while you may not always be alone, one can easily be left feeling lonely inside. It's love that can fill that void if only, one gives it the chance.
And at times one tends to judge hastily the actions or thoughts of others but it's easy to quickly fall blindly and madly in love. One doesn't see the faults of the person or perhaps even a horribly flawed relationship, they try to move past it and don't see that they are hurting themselves. Doubt happens, its okay but one should never allow oneself to be taken advantage of or abused. Sometimes it hard to admit, or even confront -Hell I've done the same thing- But one has to realize that if this one person can't realize this person's true worth and see how truly amazing one is, then they shouldn't be with them at all.
One must realize that relationships are work, and must be willing to put in the work. There will be disagreements and fights, and sometimes things may seem as though they take a turn for the worse, but one has to really decide in those moments if its worth it. One has to be willing to always make a conscious effort to do better, to do more for the other person and oneself. Even if it's hard to admit one's own flaws sometimes its necessary to get to where one wants to be.
Love shouldn't be one-sided. Love should be all or nothing. One should give it their all or it's not really love. One has to let their walls down and let someone in to see the parts that even they hate themselves. It can take time though and it can be beyond terrifying letting all of you be out there with no guarantee of what the other will do. Trust. It's crucial. Not only does one have to trust that the person is there for them but they also must trust that they won't turn on them in times of need.
But while love is great, it sucks. Because at the end of the day sometimes if you really loved them, it feels, its like you'll always love them. That you're never going to be able to stop yourself from thinking about them and what was or could've been. And what sucks is that even if they've treated you like trash, even if they are now with someone else, even if they constantly bring out the worst parts of you-you still love them. Because love is that crazy.
