I LOVE love

I refuse to lose faith in love. Love, is a beautiful thing. I believe that the meaning of life lies in love. And by that I mean not to say that one must always be dating someone, but that the meaning of life is love between many peoples. Between friends and coworkers and family. The people whom support you, who you support in return.

But love between two people is a supplementary thing, an awesome cherry on top of life. That kind of love is the kind of love I strive to define. An irrational thing, explained in rational words. I think that love is something that is defined by its ability to permeate all emotions. Love makes the highs high and the lows low. Love in its strongest forms continues to exist even after chemistry is lost. It allows people to feel a greater depth of emotion. It teaches us to swallow the childish emotions we often feel, it teaches us to turn the other cheek, be the bigger person, to learn and accept the differences that makes us who we are.

Love is the feeling you get when you see that person smiling, the pain in your chest when you see that person sad. Love is those late nights spent holding each other in the dark as you drift off to sleep. The starry skies laid under while you ponder the meaning of life. The shooting stars, the long drives spent holding hands, the endless teaching and learning experiences, the sand between your toes and the intermittent tides. Those stupid ideas where you walk too far and have to call for a ride, the times spent eating pizza and watching star wars, the knock on the window at three in the morning, the sleeve to wipe your tears on.

It's the little things that remain when everything else is gone, its those little memories that make you smile or shed a tear as you go throughout the day. And that is what I live for.
