Love

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"

I was sitting at home this evening and came across this quote. It got me thinking a little about how true this statement is. I feel that life is full of lessons. Each and every day presents a new challenge for us to endure, but it's how you make it through those challenges that's important. I feel like finding love is one if not the one thing that makes life so much easier to handle. It's that good feeling you get in your stomach even when nothing else in your life is right. Love comes from many places it's not just falling in love and being in a relationship it's allowing people in your life in. Tonight I was on the phone with my cousin, and best friend giving her advice on her first love. It made me remember that feeling and the fear of actually feeling it for the first time. The fear of is this going to last?

I have fallen in love a few times and I am in love again. I feel that this time is different than all the others. I can't put my finger on why it's different but I know that it is. In my heart I feel like it's right, and it's the real kind of love. True love. It's the kind of love that no matter what happens it's still there, even when your angry or upset over something you know at the end of the day he will still be there loving you back. It's the kind of love that when you have a bad day and all you want to do is cry, you come home to a clean kitchen. It's that perfect kind of imperfect love that happy or sad, weak or strong you know he will be there to pick you up if you're falling. And that's the kind of love that lasts.

Every day at least once a day I get that feeling in my stomach. It comes out of nowhere it could be when I wake up, I am on the phone with a friend, or right before I fall asleep at night and it hits me. That I have butterflies all over again because you're in my life. That's the kind of love I am in. We are getting ready to head out on a trip to Chicago together this Friday and I can't wait. I can't wait to spend 4 days with him no distractions and nothing but us. So as sappy and annoying as this blog may be to some. Cheers to love. Because once you learn how to be loved, you'll never want to let that feeling go. Especially when you have met that perfect person who makes you feel complete.
