The trouble with love is...

Now some of you may think that you are about to get a big complaint about some guy that I am infatuated with, and how he broke my heart... well boys and girls: Prepare to be surprised. The trouble with love is... that it is living. I am not just talking about love with a partner or lover. Love. Love friends, love family, love animals, love nature, love life.

Love is living. Love is constantly growing, deteriorating, changing, diminishing, and thriving. Friendships are fading. Families are breaking. Lovers are losing. Nature is crumbling. Love is all around us, if you let it be... but to most: that is where it stops. Love is nothing more than a four letter word that most will, sadly, never have the privilege of experiencing. Sadly, it is probably due to no one more than themselves. People are very true in saying that you are your own worst enemy. SO MANY TIMES in life, it is so easy to quit. Quit a job. Quit a relationship. Quit a family. Quit love. It is so easy to say no. The temptation for many, sadly, is too much.

We are the privileged ones. You. Me. Your family. My family. Our friends. We are the lucky ones. I say that because most of us that read this know love. We know the emotions. We know the experience. We cherish love. But unfortunately, there are people out there that are not so lucky. It is our job to keep faith, and keep love close to our hearts.... because if we lose it, who will have it?
