LOVE/THOUGHT/JOURNAL: GIVE LOVE AND LOVE WILL BE RETURNED

They say you don’t know what you have till its gone.” Well, I know exactly what I want. I know what I want and I don’t even have it. See, in my past I was so caught up in the superficial race to put as many notches in your belt as possible. Now, now I realize that love is real, love exists, and to love means you care. Personally, I have said I love you to no more than ten people in my life, my parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and my animals. Love is an over used and under emotional word that just happens to exist between lovat and love affair in the dictionary. I never truly knew until now how much power was held in only four simple letters. My college roommate asked me one time if love was real, he said, “Hey do you ever think about settling down and actually being with someone and only loving them?” Being young and naive I naturally said no and that I was too young to worry about such a thought. Back then, it was all about who could I call for a midnight booty call just to satisfy me thru the next day. I don’t regret anything I did, I only regret not finding my soul mate sooner. However, all things, all people you meet, and every action you make happens for a reason. Everyone has a destiny in this life and mine was to be with someone who truly makes me happy and accepts me for me. Love is blind, Love is Evil, Love is harsh, and Love is gentle. Love is all the mistakes we make, the recoveries that happen along the road, and the heart breaks. To feel heart break means you felt love. For if one does not feel heart break ever in life, then they truly haven’t experienced love. To care about others you have to start with caring about yourself. A lot of people look at marriage as two people with a common agreement of love. Love isn’t measured by years, love isn’t measured by the amount of things your partner has bought you, and it damn sure isn’t measure by an agreement. No love, Love is the little things. You know the simple things of taking out the trash, or telling her she looks beautiful even if she looks like hell. No girl wants to be told she look’s ugly, need’s to change, or most importantly told she look’s tired. To them, that’s the same as saying hey… You’re looking rough. Back to the subject, if I find someone I truly care about, I don’t want to just share a bed with someone for the night. I want to share my bed, my heart, and my soul with that person forever. The sanctity of marriage is in jeopardy now days with all the divorces. People are getting married and then divorced faster than a jackrabbit can re populate. The sad thing is, is that people thinking its okay. That when the slightest of problems arises that you can just run away from them and never look back. Wrong. Guys, we don’t do enough for our ladies. We don’t, they do everything, they clean, they cook, they take care of kids, they work, and they still find time to make you happy. Women are the modern day super heroes and deserved to be treated like beautiful queens. Your woman is your queen as you are her king. So show it… show her how much you love her. Whether it be telling her you love her, or saying she’s beautiful, or even getting her flowers just because its Wednesday and you just want to show her how much you appreciate her. So here I will leave you on a couple final notes. For starters, all women are beautiful. They’re just beautiful in they’re own way. Beauty isn’t measure by looks; it is measured by who they are on the inside. Next, you can never say you’re beautiful to a woman enough. Woman love and I mean absolutely love being told that. Lastly, every girl is insecure. Do not ever call them out on it, don’t ever use it against them, and honestly, pretend like it doesn’t exist. Give love and love will be returned. Give thanks and thanks will be returned. Give hate and hate is what you will get. Appreciate every thing you have and never take the ones you love for granted. Women were made to be loved not understood.
