“The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.” ~Henry Miller
Love. Four little letters with a huge impact and a never ending meaning.
If you ask a lot of people it's overused and overrated. But I disagree.
Love doesn't have to be a feeling reserved for your significant other and it isn't something to be "used sparingly." Yes, of course, you should love the one you're with, and it isn't something you should force or rush into. But it is something you should fully embrace once you feel it. As far as I see it, a life without love is a life without meaning. But love, to me, is everywhere. Not just in relationships and romantic movies: everywhere.
Love is the feeling you get when you walk into a familiar place that you haven't been to in a long time.
Love is laying on the floor of a dusty barn for hours to keep an eye on your sick pet.
Love is letting yourself be passionate about something and not caring what other people think about it.
Love is being able to know exactly what to say to cheer up your best friend at all times.
In a society of valentine's day cards, romantic comedies, and countless couple pictures on tumbr, it has become easy to feel like if you're not in a relationship, you don't know what love is. But that's where society is wrong. Everyone has more love in their life than they realize: love from family and friends, love of the things you do with your life, love of the little things that keep you going.
As for real, true, once in a lifetime, romantic love, I don't know what to say. I'm only 18, ask me in 10 years.
But that one four letter word has a much greater presence than we give it credit for: love is everywhere in your life, you just have to find it.
