A short Essay about love.
What is love? The question that has eluded mankind. Is it only a feeling of attraction or affection between two people or more, I do not think that quite grasps the concept fully. Yet in that definition lies what the Webster dictionary defines love as. To those who have felt love it is so much more than that. It is having someone to care for you. When you are sick, it’s someone to hold you when everything falls apart, and keep you warm when you are cold. Be your light in the darkest of places, and the hand that leads you when you can’t see.
For the souls unable to find it may feel like a missing piece you can’t even name. But there is no way to find it, love finds you. Sometimes you fill up that missing piece with endless strings of bad relationships or just filling it with anyone at all, whatever it takes to not be alone. Even if all it is is sex or attraction keeping you together. The later of what I spoke of is superficial at best and empty. Both usually assure you an even more lost feeling with an empty heart and broken spirit. You feel lost and alone and no one can console you and no one can minimize this fir you. With each bad relationship more desperately grabbing out, seeking the real love. Finding more contempt for the sex your attracted to. With any luck love will find you before the worst of it happens. If it does it will more than likely shock you, it may have been right under your nose and come into sharp clarity all at once,unexpectedly. Most likely in it’s own timing, leaving you plans up in the air, sending you for a loop.
It is as unreal as a dream. I don’t know how to define it,love is real, does exist,and everyone should be as lucky to find it and keep it. The hardest part of love is realizing it must be returned to be real, the dead give away lay in the eyes. They sparkle with a certain light. Being willing to do anything for another person sure that they would do the same or you. Even I have not described love. All to be said is you will find it. Remember what you put out in the world, you get back. So give love to get love, meanwhile for now those you love will return your love to you best as they are able.
Most everyone has heard the phrase ; You complete me; At least most everyone in my generation. Still, has everyone or anyone had the luck to find their one great love. the one, an intended someone. If you’ve got a big heart perhaps. People influence those of us to make ourselves all that we are;supposed; to be. A family member who loves us no matter how strange our personal choices may be. Patience above and beyond what seems possible. Amazing stories that thrill us, make us imagine, laugh, cry and reach out for whatever it is we desire in our heart. Perhaps teaching us to love, and trust that truly in each person is a beautiful soul. That faith is not only intended for religion, but also human kind. if you open your heart to someone and take good and bad that someone can teach you these things. You may even learn to love them.
If we take a closer look, love is all things. Trust, patience, even faith are all part of it. I feel everyone deserves to feel this in their lives, and welcome it when they do find it. Sometimes I’ll admit second chances aren’t worth it but then again there are exceptions to most everything aren’t there. Either way we are able to learn more about ourselves and others even if it turns out poorly.
