The Power of Love

Love is patient, 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 trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. . .And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. - excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13

Love is very unique; it holds the power of suppression and freedom. Someone can be afflicted with love in constant search for the love of the person who has their heart but just simply doesn't reciprocate that feeling where you can't sleep, can't eat, reach for the stars, world serious kind of love. But it that even really love. Can you be in love with someone and they not love you in the same way.... Or is loving someone who doesn't love you back just a test of your love? I believe that you reap what you sow so if you've displayed unconditional love in any relationship, that's exactly what you will get. True love never fails.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU.

You. Yes, you. I am writing this for you.

I know you are reading this. And I want you to know I am writing this for you. No one else will understand. No one else knows. They think that this is for them. But it’s not. I am writing this for you.

I want you to know, life…it’s hard. Every day can be a challenge. It can be a challenge to get up in the morning. To get yourself out of bed. To put on that smile. But I want you to know, that smile is what keeps me going some days. You need to remember, even through the tough times, you are amazing. You really are.

You should be happy. You are gorgeous.

I know that the weather might not be perfect. You might have to turn your back to the wind or feel the cold nipping at your nose. But you know what, at least you are there to feel it. At least you can enjoy the sun’s warm rays on your face. Or that cold February wind biting at your cheeks. You know what that means?

You are alive.

Everything will be okay.
