love

yay! blogger is letting me post again!! rock on! haha...

well let's see.. i've already written twice and my things got erased.... so i'll post about... oh and the other two posts that never got published because they're so secretive *insert spy face here*

well i'm gonna talk about my favorite thing in the whole wide world.... love.

when people hear love they here peaches and cream, warm fuzzies, bubbles and what not.... all corny girly lovey-dovey things.... and i suppose part of it is true, there is the warm fuzzies and all that stuff.... but really, love is more about other things...

love is about commitment. love is about i'll try my best not to hurt you even when i'm feeling like hurting you. i'm gonna stick to you even if you're sick, or annoying, or boring to me today. i'm gonna be here through the rough and easy, because you are valuable.

love is about sacrifice. i don't feel like giving up my time, but i will for you. i don't feel like cleaning up your mess, but you have no time to clean it up. i don't feel like talking, but i want you to know what's going on with me. i rather spend some time alone, or with this other friend, or watching tv, but instead, i'll listen to your problems. even if i can't do anything to help you out. i don't want you to be lonely.

love is more than emotion people! if you're waiting for emotions to stay for the rest of your life, you're screwed, emotions are as fickle as the weather. love is about something more, is about seeing a person's soul (or God's for that matter) and pouring yourself completely into that person, not expecting anything in return. (sure, good things come in return, but don't expect them and you'll be even more grateful).....

why do you need to love if it's so exhausting?

because it's what we were created to do. because God loved us first, He poured out all of Himself for us. you have the choice to love or live selfishly, but love, though harder (a LOT harder) will reap greater things than you ever expected. that's why love....
