Love

Throughout our lives we come across at least once, the concept of love. What is love? How do you define love? We ask ourselves multitudinous questions and apply so much hype to the idea of love that it gives us some grand assumption as to what love should be. The truth is though, love is as you define it. If your love is not agreeable to someone else and their version of love, that does not make yours wrong or any less 'love'. There are different kinds of love too, friendship, family, erotic, romantic, materialistic, and on and on.

So what is love according to you? Think about it, what have you been told and what impression has been placed upon you? Compare that to what your feelings say. Is it not interesting? What I also find interesting is how love is ever changing. The definition changes and love is not required. Love is note a requirement, treasure it while you have it. That is a common mistake I believe that we make. We assume that love will always stay with us with that person or that situation. Yes that would be nice but the truth of the matter is, love is not a requirement. It never should be. So please friends...

Please savour every moment you have those loving feelings and be thankful for that time. If the love fades or goes away just remember that it can always come again.

Now to explain why I chose to go on about my views on love. It actually has nothing to do with the fact that St. Valentines Day is fast approaching. I personally do not celebrate it. No, it has to do with my very best friend. In my last post it explained the events that occurred during my birthday, one of them being me and my best friend broke up as boy friend and girl friend. Well I am back with him as of February 3rd, and I am so glad for this.

You see, I have had love for him for quite some time yet I wanted him to say it first if he did in fact have those feelings for me. As it turned out, he does. He told me so a couple days ago. It makes me very happy to have that confirmation and yet I did not need it. I am glad to have it but I already knew he cared for me deeply. What has made me so joyous for this is that I now can say it to him. I was not afraid of pushing him away but I wanted him to have no pressure and to feel no obligation in regards to our feelings for each other.

This is our love; total trust and deep caring. What is yours?
