What is Love?

      Age old question or keen 90's song?

 
                (I totally owned this cassette in the day...)

      What does love amount to in the modern world? It's so easy to say you love so many things that will no longer be relevant in six months..... but people fall victim to the idea so often. This especially applies when it comes to matters of relationships and family. We have been put in a position to be harried to get to the goal of being SOMEONE's "someone". Love isn't about finding who you can deal with; it's finding who you can't be without. I had to learn this lesson; it's a tough one to take. A love of convenience will provide some moments of joy, but many more moments of something within you that's "not quite right". The sincere form of love intended for you makes you feel so ALIVE.... in every moment an adventure; in the dark moments it hurts TO NOT BE HAPPY.  It's a huge sacrifice to give up ill feelings in the name of that special something that is so much greater. Many people can't do it. They are left with a feeling that it's too good to be true - so they sabotage themselves. The eternal "one that got away" is more often driven away by acts of protecting ones self when you feel "control" of your heart slipping away. In order to love; you must go all in. Risk it all to get it all.
      
     There is no other way.
