Love. This is a topic to which I'm sure I will return time and time again, as it is too deep and complex to cover in one night. But as I lay in bed, it is on my mind, and my thoughts are random and interweaving.
Does true love exist? How does one find true love? I believe it exists, but have no idea when it will be upon me, if it will take work to cultivate, or if it will hit me like a hurricane gust. And is the person with whom I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life someone I know currently, someone I've been friends with for ages, or someone I'm just meeting or even have yet to meet?
Love, to me, is something precious and priceless. However, is it something for which one needs to fight, or will destiny bring lovers together in the end?
And can one's heart be in more than one location, with more than one person? To me, it feels like cheating; it feels unfair. I feel like I cannot fully give my heart to someone when there are other people in the world who hold a piece of it. And I'm not sure if I even know what love is yet! After all, I'm young and have not had ample time for love to flourish. I have not had the experience of loving someone so much it hurts... or rather, loving someone I am with so much that it hurts when everything comes to an end. I'd imagine it's beautiful - feeling so attached to a person that it feels as though your world is ending when they're gone. Instead, I live with potentials, yet never fully allowing them to develop.
Why? Why do I cut relationships off before I give them a chance? Am I afraid to find love? Am I holding out for "true love" to hit me? Am I waiting for someone specific? Or can love be found with any person, if only they're allowed the opportunity?
There are so many questions I have unanswered. All I know is that stories like Romeo and Juliet and movies such as "Letters to Juliet" (which I just finished watching in case you're wondering what prompted this blog) move me and touch the romantic inside of me. They reassure me that although life may not always be long or end the way we expect, there is true love in the world and that I will not let it go once I find it. Yet, unless God is standing there with a flashing neon sign and an arrow saying "true love, true love," will I see it there in front of me? Or let it pass me by, thinking that destiny will work itself out in the long run? I suppose only time will tell...
Dear True Love,
I'm here. Currently still sorting out life on my own. But I believe in you. I know you're out there. We will be together some day, of that I have no doubt. Until then, take care of yourself.
Love from Simply Me
