"Word of advice.. Don't ever fall in love. It isn't even worth it."
I said this to them as I tried to hold back the tears that were forming in my eyes. I wish I could take that back.
What I said is a lie.
Falling in love is a beautiful thing, it really is. Love has its ups and downs.. But there is nothing like it. I miss it. More than I can ever express with words.
That moment whenever you fall in love with someone is such a wonderful moment and it's something that you will never forget. I definitely won't forget.
I remember this one night.. Valentine's Day. I remember sitting there next to someone I can honestly say I was in love with, and looking into his eyes, and I swear my heart leaped out of my chest. He practically took my breath away, which might seem weird because I'm a girl, and usually the girl takes the guys breath away, but he really did. The look on his face and the way he stared at me.. I'll never forget that. I wanted him to look at me like that everyday. The amount of love inside of me was unreal.
Things can change. They changed for me so fast. Now I'm trying to learn how to handle life on my own.. without that love. The love that completed me and made me feel alive. Change can be painful sometimes. Love can be painful.
But love is worth it. I was so wrong when I said it wasn't worth it. It truly leaves a mark on you, whether it be good or bad. A lot of lessons and memories come from relationships, and that's what makes it worth it. And if you find that special someone to do life with.. Well you definitely know it's worth it.
The truth about relationships is that no relationship is perfect. Believe me. It might seem perfect on Twitter or Instagram, and you might think, "these two are the ultimate relationship goal!", but the truth is you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. Every couple struggles with something. It can be things such as trust, jealousy, etc. But it's possible to overcome these struggles if the couple is set on being together.
When you're in a relationship it's no longer 'I' but 'we'. You're enduring everything together. When one person is upset, the other feels the pain too and helps in whatever way they can. You fight for each other, and look out for one another. You are each other's best friend. Your relationship is rough and sometimes you don't think it'll work out, but you continue to push through.
Love isn't just a feeling, it's a decision. A decision to never stop loving that person. To always put everything into making it work. That no matter what tries to bring you apart.. You'll always fight to stay together.
I like that... Fighting to stay together. I'm fighting for you. Fight for me. Don't give up on me. That's what love is. Under the right conditions, love is pretty amazing. The feeling of being loved in return only makes it better. I believe God is a genius for creating love.
It's possible to love someone so much that your whole body aches. I know because I've felt it. We can love someone with our entire being. But our love for someone could never, EVER, compare to the love God has for us. We will never be able to process just how much He loves us. To even try is a waste because we'll never understand. Can you imagine loving another human being like that? Like how God loves us? If we think our earthly love is powerful, we have not yet tasted His miraculous love. I hope one day you experience His love, because no amount of love for someone else will ever compare.
God has this crazy way of demonstrating His love for us. I do believe God sends people in our lives to love us and be there for us. The people who prove how much they care are blessings from God. Don't ever let them go. That's a big way He demonstrates His love. By sending people who brighten up your life. I'm sure you can think of a few people like that, I know I can.
The whole point of this post is to tell you that it's okay to fall in love. It's more than okay. You might experience a few heartbreaks, but one day it'll be worth it all. Because you'll be laying in bed next to that special person, and you'll realize going through all that brought you to where you are, and you couldn't be happier. Don't give up on love. If anything, be a believer in love. And when you experience it.. Don't take it for granted.
"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colors seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." -Bob Marley
