....How do you define it?
Have you ever really been apart of it?
....Do you want it?
..What does it all mean to you...
What will you do to get it?
Love.
We all know what pain, rejection and the absence of what love feels like and can equally articulate such. But many when asked to define what love means to them, couldn't easily answer my question or stammered to find the right words. I think if we can learn to articulate what it means to/for us (different meanings for everyone), we have a better chance of not only finding it, but making it last. When we realize there is no such thing as a story book romance, partners running towards each other in a field of daisies and nothing can ever be like "the notebook" can we begin to understand what it takes to achieve it. To understand that being happy with what you have, does not mean settling but appreciating. Also when we understand the concept that love is fleeting will we begin to nurture the aftermath. We also will begin to work hard at keeping what we have or appreciating what was there for us at the time.
At the end of the day with everything, it is what we make of it and everything we make of it, is the result of what we put into it. If you give nothing, you will get nothing. In the absence of truth, there is no love.
Love is to me, as it maybe for others. But if we cannot appropriately define what it is, we will always walk tirelessly, aimlessly in its shadow instead of rejoicing in the light.
-Stay blessed and stay focused.
