"When you tell someone something bad about yourself and you're scared that they won't love you anymore. But then you get surprised because not only do they still love you, they love you even more."
I saw this quote online today...it wasnt searched for, just coincidentally popped onto my computer screen at the right time. Right after I read the quote, it really touched me and got me thinking about the true meaning of "LOVE".
How do you define LOVE? There is a point in time in life, that we encounter what is known as "LOVE". But to each and everyone of us, our meaning of LOVE is never an indefinite answer. To everyone it expresses itself differently....Some people say that its mysterious, some say its magical, some say its complicated, some say its inspirational, some say its thought-provoking, and others say its undefinable. Perhaps..........
When one person is in love, they will know. How so? She will have butterflies in her stomach when she sees him walk by.....she will drive 60 miles roundtrip just to have dinner with him (on a daily basis)....she will call him just to say "hi" so she can hear his voice....there is not a minute of the day that goes by without her thinking of him....her heart skips a beat when he tells her he misses her....she constantly feels the urge to tell him "I LOVE YOU".....when she is looking for help or comfort, the only person who will make everything ALL better is him.....when she hits the jackpot, she only wants to break the news and share it with him....and when she sees the future, she sees him.
Love can be something very fragile, yet also very strong. When I first met "him", it wasnt a "love at first sight" sorta thing. Ethan is someone who is very dominant, and lives his life to the fullest. He believes that in order to make someone happy, you have to make yourself happy first. But my personality, is just the opposite. I like to make others happy, because seeing them happy, makes me happy too. When I first met Ethan, the impression that he gave me was....he was someone who is very straight forward and solid on the outside. It was either his way or no way. So alot of times, one little thing that he says, can have a big impact on someone else's life. But regardless of his humble personality, he still had alot of friends and was very lovable to everyone. Why? Because he is a very sincere and soft hearted person in the inside. After getting to know Ethan for the past 9 months, I have seen the other side of him. And from then on, my heart has only grown deeper and deeper for him. Today.....today is the starting point to a new chapter in my life. Because today is the day, that I have realized that he has taken a piece of my heart, and I can not live my life without him. I have become very dependent on him and there is no one else I would want to rely on other than him....he gives me my security and he has gradually become my comfort zone. I've also realized that anyone can tell you how much they love you....but when something bad happens to you, they just leave you behind. That is all BS! The ones that really love you may not always tell you that they love you, but when you are in trouble, they go out of their way to pull you out of the hole and even when everyone is gone, he will still be standing there......and today, Ethan proved this to me....he didnt just tell me that he loved me, he showed it to me, because when I looked and thought that I was alone, I saw him....standing there, waiting for me.....with open arms.....THIS is what LOVE truly is.
"Love is patience, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trust, always hopes, always perseveres....Love is everything its cracked up to be. Thats why people are so cynical about it...It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you dont risk everything, you risk even more"
