Walking into Love.

Love does not feel like an obligation. Love comes freely and it is something that you truly want to do. There are so many types of love. It is one thing to love someone out of friendship and to care about them and their well being. And although I haven't found the kind of true love that will last a lifetime, I still believe it is out there. When it comes down to it, I think it is really pretty simple... or I hope that it is. When you think of your life with a person, can you imagine giving up everything for their happiness... and that bringing you happiness. I think that love is not only willing to sacrifice, but the want to sacrifice. If you can answer yes without any hesitation in your own mind then that is love. Wanting to spend your life with someone not only out of comfort, but out of pure enjoyment of that person... that is love. Finding that one person you can't wait to call to tell a funny story to... regardless of what it is, that is love. Trust in God to give you peace and serenity when you have found true love. We really cannot love anyone until we know what it is like to love God and from that learn how to love ourselves. In short... love is contentment.
