Many people may say I overdose on the idea of Love but "Why Not?" In our day to day lives we endure images and experiences of drama, hate, violence, despair, contentment, depressions, anxiety, self esteem and so many other factors that make us who we are and also keeps us on the perimeter of our destiny.
I speak of love because I seek to give and receive love, regardless of my current situation. Funny (not funny "haha") thing is, there are some people in my life, probably most people close to me, have this misconception that I'm not sensitive. The truth is I am extremely sensitive and sometimes it overwhelms me. My sensitivity level is not to be mistaken with my capability to honest , forthcoming and assertive when I need to be. I have a tremendous voice and a vast perspective on many things in life but I have a heart for God and when you have a heart that's been broken and mended and broken and mended and broken and mended, this heart becomes fragile. Like many people who have gone through traumatic and challenging experiences, I have had my moments of not wanting to forgive or trust anyone ever again, regardless of who they were but simply put; I'm just not made that way.
As I wrote before, many people may say I overdose on the idea of Love but "Why Not?" Let's break down what love is, shall we?
Love is not necessarily a feeling but the idea that causes certain physical reactions to happen. Love is not imaginary. Love is best expressed though actions and words. Some people think to "make love" is simply the act of a sexual encounter accompanied by emotional attachment. That may not be far from the truth but Making love is more than sex. It's the connection and assurance that you will be with that person through everything. It's the intimacy that happens when you have proven that you are willing to be what they need and what they desire. Making love is a merging of souls, spirits and minds to come to a point of agreeing that the other person is not the dominate source of, not only affection but encouragement, support, dedication, and adoration. Making love is not sex. Sex is sex. Making Love is the physical portion of the relationship that just solidifies what has already been established.
People show love in so many different ways but there are many misconceptions about love and one of the greatest is that both parties have to love each other for the "LOVE" to be valid. The person receiving this outpouring of love must feel it. I do believe that you can love someone who doesn't love you but their acknowledgement of your love isn't required for them to still be loved. Many of us love from a distance. I love LOTS of people from afar. Sometimes, you just have to. No...I don't mean stalking someone. lol. I mean to either feel an affection for someone who, at this time, is not able to be in your life, capable of accepting your love or has soooooooooooo much crap with them you just want them to stay exactly where they are. lol. That last one was specifically for family. lololol. Just kidding. (nodding my head "no")
As for me, I like showing my love. I don't make grand gestures or grand demands but I love my folks. If some don't love me, that's cool, too. I can love them from a distance. I don't need to be in your face everyday for you to know I love you. LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE...it's just pretty sometimes. Sometimes it's looks like a train wreck and feels like one, too. If you can survive it, you will learn soooooo much. I should be a freakin' genious!
later taters!
