Love

Love. One of the strongest emotions that someone can feel. From falling in love, to having your heart broken for the first time.  Do you remember the first time you found yourself in love with someone? From the butterflies in the pit of stomach every time you saw that special person. When just the sound of their voice makes you smile. A slight touch makes you shiver from head to toe with anticipation. Just being in the same room with them you feel like you are the only two in the room. When you go without contact for more than a couple hours you feel like it’s the end of the world? Those feelings that come with falling in love. It really does not matter how old you are you either. Whether you are 16 or 76.
  Just like falling out love with someone that you use to love more than anything in the world can leave you riddled with guilt and remorse. If you happen to have fallen in love with someone along the way, having the conflict emotions can be hard to deal with and understand. Love is messy, unpredictable, crazy wonderful all at the same time.
Bob Marley has a quote that I really like. Actually, he has more than one, but right now this one comes to my mind.“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won’t give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”
Not everyone will be lucky to find someone that they truly, deeply love in their lifetime. I have been lucky and have found love twice now. Both incredibly different people. What about you, have you found love?
