Line of Love Has Been Drawn

Love has no rules, it's a free agent. It stalks the night like a shade and brightens the day beyond recognition. There are many feelings that may arise to partner up with love. Apprehension, confusion, guilt, joy and even hate can all rear their heads alongside a healthy does of love. Thing is, not everyone can describe in words what it means to love someone. I can try.

I know this is supposed to be scientific and interesting, but it's my expressionist blog so I will cry if I want to.
Firstly let's begin with the foundation for being loved...loving one's self. This is usually the most difficult part of loving because we can be our harshest critics. If we don't love ourselves then the love we receive might make us uncomfortable, we may question it's validity. To love one's self you have to confront and know one's self. This can be confusing, but luckily if you're attempting this then you probably have someone in your life that can help you. You only need to reach out to them.

Now that that is out the way there's a warning. There is a difference between infatuation and love, the one being like a sharp spark of affection that comes on strongly and the other lasting the ages for all time. Infatuation will seem a lot like love to begin with. Maybe it answers questions or provides insight, but you never know if you're asking the right questions. You're probably going to be happy in this state for awhile because it's really fulfilling, but it's a sprint to the finish. You may get the baseball stats of the person who you're involved with, but the important stuff wouldn't have had time to rise to the surface. When it does you may be in for a shock.

True love on the other hand is patient. It creeps into our lives taking hold of our hearts and comforts us. With true love, you take the time to get to know someone deeply and love them for it. You take all their flaws that you discover over time and you appreciate them as they come instead of breaking our backs all at once. The person you love becomes the most important aspect of your emotional center. They will provide safety, comfort and care as well as the all important passion. When love finally sinks it's roots into the core there is an apex and everything about how you feel makes sense. There's no confusion, there's not doubt, this is the person you want to be with.

I suppose it's obvious I'm writing this because it's a subject that's close to my heart. My passion will not subside, my mind will not falter and I will not give up. I promised this to myself and to her and, although I have weak moments, will stay strong for the both of us.

PS: NO PICTURES because this is a special edition. The words should be strong enough.
