love

I often think about someone else’s life. I imagine all the love they do not have. I see the passion that is missing from their lives, the friends they do not know and the awful pressures that crush them. In these moments, I realize how much I have and how much I have to give. If this is true, then why do I still feel so lost? 

It’s easy to lose yourself in life and make the mistake of feeling bad for yourself. You must open your eyes and appreciate the love you have, the love others have for you and the feeling of empowerment that comes along with nurturing someone else. There are so many reasons to love, yet it can take a moment to hate. It’s that moment of hatred that blurs the bigger picture which is to love. We must love in order to live. If all we do is hate, love becomes a distant object too unattainable to get back. Whether love is a constant for you or a fleeting object, grasping love and appreciating its beauty holds no boundaries. If you’re emotionally invested in someone enough to love, it’s not always possible to harbor that love for solely one person. Emotional love can fulfill a person almost entirely, though a separate physical love may deter its progress. It’s your job to join these loves and distribute them fairly, honestly, and healthily. I can think about someone else’s life and pass judgment on their lack of love, but it doesn’t mean they don’t love. I believe I have so much to offer and I may already be offering this love wholeheartedly; nonetheless, I want to feel love invigorate me and lead me down the path again in which I will find that beauty again, hold it, and never turn back.
