We Love to Love
Have you ever noticed how much talk and discussion is revolved around one word. Four letters. One syllable. The word: love. There are so many contexts, variations, meanings. How ever do we keep up with this noun, verb and adjective? Have you ever thought of the differences in contexts? Love you, love ya, luv ya...they're not the same as those three words, eight syllables that make your heart stop: I love you. It's compassionate and caring. Scary and daring. So much attention and devotion to those words let alone the person you say them to.
Now lets back up. How ever do we get to this point of such a deep verb?
The meet-cute happens. You know...where you meet your soulmate somewhere, somehow, through someone, cute?
Then you start going on dates. Ups and downs happen. You call up your best friend (whom you also "love") and vent. You catch up with an old friend over coffee and continuously talk about what she wants, how you two aren't getting along, how he annoys you and so on.
Then comes the breaking point. Do you stay together? Do you break up?
Chances are if you break up, you were never in love. You see if you truly feel love and compassion towards your "love" you will love everything about them. Not everything is easy to love, but love makes it worth it.
So, if you stay together through the fighting, bickering, annoyances and so on, you are in love, right? If this person can drive you to a mad and you can still get through it, you always will. Bickering happens. Fighting happens. It's those frequent sparks between two people that show they are both invested and hoping what you share works out. When it's 2 o'clock in the morning and you're both equally bickering and fighting, you are both invested to whatever you have. Good or bad. Love or hate. You both are shouting for something.
Go ahead. Meet with your best friend. Rant and rave. See what happens. Because through all the tears and heartache something wonderful, full of sparkles and sunshine will blossom. I can promise you that love will only grow stronger and bigger once you let the fights happen and the bickering continue. All the heartache and yelling is worth the success and strength in your relationship.
And for those of you who haven't met their 'prince(ss) charming'. Don't worry. (S)He is coming. They aren't ready for you. You are fabulous. You are beautiful. You are handsome. And you deserve the love that's coming for you.
Wait till they come. I promise it's worth it.
