Damn it... well yeah my "mushy-eeky-cootie infested-sappy-hopeless-romantic-bug" kicked in (which is rare) and well... I "kinda" went off on the subject, oh well sue me...
What is love? What is the emotion that we fight for with every vein of our being? If you look love up in the dictionary, its listed as a noun. Love is an action. To love is to embrace someone with your whole heart. To love means to not judge or blame. The life I live is centered around finding love, but not necessarily defining it. Can we ever really define love? I have found that I am unable to define the love I feel until I have lost it. Can you truly understand the complexity of love until you can no longer hold it in your hand? I have lost love so many times in my life but when I look back on my experiences, each one helped me understand more about myself. The pain that her actions caused me was reflected in my lack of relationships in high school. I have had relationships since then but I am almost afraid to get into a relationship because I fear losing them. I have found love since then and it has brought me to realize the beauty of my own life and experiences, but I try to live life to the fullest. For each friend and love that has moved on to the next world, I remember the wonderful times I had with him or her. I just hope that by living my life and telling my stories that I will be able to inspire others to live and love without judgment and fear. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world and when you have found it, fight for it, and dont let it slip through your fingers. Be there for them when they need a shoulder to lean on, someone to talk to, and someone to just hold their hand and reassure them. Encourage others in their times of grief and you will then begin to understand love. Love because you can. Live your life with the brilliance of love and desire to heal the world with a single smile. Simply love.
The piece below was something I wrote back in 2002 when I was still with my ex... in a way I was hesitant to post it, but I figured it might help others out there in the same shoes I am in. Critiques would be nice. Enjoy.
Love--02
By: "Sid"
A subject which defies the limits of space and time; which transcends all boundaries of politics, religion, race, colour, shape, size or history.
Love is a beautiful world of mystery and infinite energy.
Love is more than a concept or physical motivation.
Love is a pure energy, which inhabits everyone and everything, one endless source of energy accessible to any human being, at any given moment, in any given environment.
Be it in the sanctity of a church, the stillness of a night, during a party of thousands, or on a beach of solitary splendor.
Love is an intangible, which has been both a source of passionate desire and of intense sadness, which has plagued and entranced conscious man since the beginning of recorded history.
A vast subject, indeed, yet one that is inexhaustible and universal.
Why?
What is it about this thing called love that obsesses us so?
Why is it that we look upon it as something we "have" or are "in" or that we "fall into?"
Wherever did we learn the idea that it was something that might chain us down, break our hearts, or make us whole?
Why is it that we need it and can't live without it?
Why do we ever look for something outside of ourselves to make us whole?
To define us?
To make us feel better about ourselves? Or to forget ourselves?
There is so much more...
Love is constant, omnipresent and pure vibration that lives inside every one of us.
Love is inherent in our very nature. You are love.
The power of love is always at your fingertips because you are alive.
Love exists inside and outside of every living thing.
Love is yours for the having. We are all so beautiful with infinite possibilities.
Every one of us is a unique creature with thoughts, dreams, ideas, desires and creativity to be cultivated and shared with each other.
Love is a flow whose very nature is to move into and out of us like the air.
Each of us is a unique force with our own unique way of expressing the love we have.
The important thing is to do just that, express love.
Live in love, with love.
We are all brothers and sisters with boundless energy and love to spare.
We are stronger together.
To love yourself.
To love those around you.
Love is what we have to give.
Love is who we are.
Love and respect yourself and the earth around you.
Reach deep inside your soul and see how beautiful you and the world around you truly are.
It is easy to hate.
Easy to be jealous.
Easy to take.
Easy to be violent.
It is hard to love and give of yourself.
We think we know how.
We don't know anything.
We must open our minds to each other... to support and love each other.
We all want the same thing... to be loved and to be heard.
So, love and listen.
