Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, Never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in them, always expect the best of them, and always stand your ground in defending them.
Love costs. Love is unselfishness. It is honesty, integrity, humour, compassion, empathy, understanding, patience, self-care, a listening heart and ear. Love is letting go, rather than clinging to. Love is embracing, rather than abandoning. Love is letting go of hurts and pain, offering forgiveness and peace in their place. Love never needs nor waits to be acknowledged, but continues to encircle all. Love is setting free, rather than judging. Love is straining every personal resource to allow others rise from the quicksand of their circumstances. Love will not permit us to act from fear of others or the unknown. Though there may be things of which we are afraid, love will provide a buffer zone to enable us to function while acknowledging our limitation. Love never plots or plans harm to others, rather it surrounds the others with thoughts of loving.
Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.
