FEBRUARY 2ND

I believe in love

Love is the most powerful emotion a human being can feel. It can make people kill, fight, steal, destroy, hate, conspire, even torture. Love can also bring out the good side of humans though. It can make us happy, forgiving, understanding, empathetic, sincere, and all warm and cuddly inside.

What is it about the emotion that everyone has to get their hands on? Why does humanity crave love?

Love is the core of our DNA. Love is acceptance, understanding, possessive, jealous,  and forgiving all at the same time. Love is the only emotion we feel that we must own ourselves, that we cannot easily or willingly share with others. Love is binding, love is eternal, love is the beginning and love is the end. We as humans cannot survive without love at some point in our lifetimes. As babies, without love, we cannot grow into self sufficient adults. We cannot accept ourselves until we are loved by another, we have to have attention, and understanding, and someone to talk to and share our deepest desires with. We need someone to own a part of us, to hold for safe keeping. Without someone there to know and hold on to part of you, you can lose yourself in life and in the struggle of surviving the chaos humanity has turned the world into. You need an anchor, a human anchor, to keep you rooted in reality and not in whatever made up fiction is going around in your head.

Some people get married, some people divorce, some people just give up. I refuse to give up on my love. My other half keeps me strong, he inspires me, he keeps me sane.
