So I have love on my mind. I have this strong belief in the power of love. Love is defined as a strong positive emotion of regard and affection. It's the one thing that every person has in common. It connects us all despite our racial, cultural, financial or political backgrounds. I'm in a place in my life where I am focused on keeping a lot of love around me. I'm not talking about just the love our children or the love of a good man or woman, I'm talking about all love.
If you have not yet experienced the love of a child, I hope that you have that chance. A child's love is real all the time. It's transforming in ways you would never imagine. It's honesty and it's always there.
If you haven't experienced the love of good man or woman, I pray that happens for you. I'm talking about the love the transcends what you thought of love. A love that is so connected that you share space even when you are not in the same room. A love so strong you feel it through your eyes. A love so classic that you must have been together before this life. That's some strong love. A love so deep that it enhances the sex.
As a girl, I dreamed of what my life would be like. I dreamed of falling in love with a man, getting married, having two babies, a boy and a girl, and living happily ever after. Well I have done all of those things except the getting married part, which is a very personal decision. I believe in the idea of marriage but I don't think I'm at a point where it is right for me. I have seen marriages that work and unfortunately I have been witness to those that do not. What I have noticed in the marriages that don't work is some kind of disconnect. Either someone was simply not ready for the marriage or they are no longer willing to put in the work. I have been in a relationship for seven years now and the hardest thing is the relationship itself. It takes so much work for both people involved and if one has decided that they no longer want to participate in the work then the relationship will and can not evolve.
Love is many things. What it should not be is hard or hurtful. It should grow and exceed expectations. It should be thankful and grateful. Love should be open to possibilities. It should happen to everyone. It should breath new life into old things. It should be light shining so bright that no thing or person can dim it. If you want it you should speak it into existence. Don't dream about it, live it. Love is God's gift to all of us. Don't be afraid to fall in love because God has already designed the perfect person for you.
