| Do you think it takes courage to love another person? I thought about this the other night as I was in my usual thinking spot, lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I could not help but investigate this thought for a while. I believe it takes a lot of courage to love someone. To wake up every morning or afternoon and have a purpose. If not for myself, I get up and do the things I do for the people I love. To think that someday, everything could change. Someone you care dearly for could be gone, swept away like dust in the wind. To love is to fear nothing, not even death. When you fall in lvoe with another person, there is absolutely nothing in the world that you wouldn't risk for that person. Sometimes, people speak of unrequited love, love that drives on a one-way street, that lingers and consumes one's own existence until one of two things happen. The person either dies from the agony they suffer from, or they tell the other person how they feel, somewhat expecting rejection. How is it possible to fall in love with another person? What is love? Good question. The concept of love is such an obscure concept and is difficult for people to recognize at first. Sometimes in our adolescence, we mistake mere infatuation the "like" for what we think is love. In fact, the concept is so obscure that people throughout the ages continue to revolve around this intangible concept. Songs, poetry, writing, art, comprise a vast majority of the expression of the idea. If you ask a person "Do you think love exists?", they will most likely say yes. Even though you can't experience it with any of the five senses, it exists. People will not deny the existence of love. This also makes me wonder why a symbol of love is the heart. Yes, you can't live without it, but then again, you can't live without a lot of things. I think maybe, its because the heart is like love; It's there. even though you can't see it. The heart has a rhythm, a beat with which we do everything in our lives by. The way we walk, eat, breathe, play music, dance, all revolves around the heartbeat. I know that in my life, I am constantly doing things for the people I love, the people I see everyday or wish I could see every day of my life. My life revolves around my love for other people, not just myself. And I know that anyone that even cares to read this whopper of a diary entry is someone that I love. No one else would care about a hopeless romantic's internet journal. I live life for you, through you, and beside you. I can only hope that one day, everyone would live and enjoy life the way I do. Live for those you love and not just for yourself. Live healthy. Live strong. Live for love. ^_^V!!! |
