This one seemed appropriate for my life as of late. I've been with my boyfriend for nearly a year and my ideas of love have changed with this development. Here it goes.
How I Feel About Love (Today)
Today is June 22nd and I am in love. This might not seem like something special or even all that spectacular but for me it is. I've been in love before but never like this. Never has it been so comfortable and so easy to love someone. I don't mean that everything is perfect. It isn't and it never will be. But it's good. It feels simple. If you had asked me this question a year ago my answer would've been very different. Love was something out of reach. Some spectacular that the movies lied about and that I marveled at in my friends. I didn't believe I would ever see it, but now I have.
How do I feel about love? I feel it so I know its real. I believe it takes work but that it's worth it. I think it's versatile and not at all just about romance. I love my friends and I love my boyfriend. Neither love takes away from the other and that's a good thing. But let's focus on romance. For a long time it wasn't something I believed could be given without conditions. I love you, but... always seemed a part of the equation. It wasn't until now that I've truly seen love without bounds. Someone who loves me for who I am, even the bits they don't like all that much.
Love is an all or nothing. You give and you take but you have to embrace every bit. I used to think love as a ball and chain. Now I know it's just walking hand in hand. Love is special and is meant to be cherished. That's how I feel.
