"Love, Love"

That is how one of my best friend has described me, that I just "love, love." And i really can't argue with her on that one. It's not just that I love being in love, I mean honestly who doesn't? But I love what love does for everyone. It keeps lovers close, it lets friends know who is there for them, and it makes our world a much nicer place to be.

Love is something that some people spend their entire life searching for and never find it. Or they do find it only to let it go because they aren't sure if it was their "one true love". But that is neither here nor there...just watching people in love is an amazing thing. They become so in sync that anything the world throws at them they can handle, because of love. What other emotion do we have that can bind people together so tightly that nothing can tear them apart? Next time you see a couple that has been married for more than 50 years just watch them, they have made it an entire lifetime together, imagine the memories that they share that has brought them even closer as the years have passed. And most of the time they will tell you that they love their spouse more today than they ever thought possible when they first met. How could someone not want that kind of love? The kind that grows from trust, respect, happiness, set backs, and growth, that's the kind of love worth aspiring to have.

Friendship love is just as meaningful, if not more at times. Friends are the ones that are there for you when the rest of the world walks out. (That's a quote but I'm not sure where it's from). And it's so true, because friends love you for who you are, not for who they want you to be, or who you try to be, but just for being you. For a friend to be a friend for life you don't have to be friends from the diaper stage, what makes a friend for life is a friend that becomes your family. They are the ones who don't ask if they can come over, they just walk in your house (sometimes even when you aren't home), they don't ask if they can stay for dinner, they assume that is an unwritten rule that you are always welcome. Friends for life don't have to ask how you are feeling because they can hear it in your voice exactly what you are feeling. Thats what makes friends so special, they are your biggest cheerleader when you didn't realize anyone was even watching. I'm thankful for all of my friends in my life that are thankful for me to be in their life.

Tangent much? Yes, but it is how i really feel about love, not just romantic love, because i love that i love the people in my life. I love that my life has led me through so many twist and turns to get me exactly where I am and have had the opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people on this earth. 

Till next time,
