Family over *e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g*
Do you ever miss someone so much it hurts? Do you ever look backing trying to pinpoint the place where it all started to go wrong? It's so harding missing someone you know doesn't miss you back. When they cross your mind, you know they are thinking about someone else. Heartbreak is hard.
Some people just don't get "love". They don't understand because they've never been there, that person will ALWAYS be a part of your life. No matter what you do, whether you break-up with or get broken up with when it comes to your first true love, you'll always have a part of them and vice versa.
It kind of sucks thinking this. It's difficult knowing that you may never have that person again. You don't regret it though, you loved your time together. It's hard knowing that you may never have that chance with them again or that they'll never love you the same way again. Love is difficult and there's never really truly knowing what love is or how it works.
Love comes in so many different ways and there are different types of love. But let me point out one thing to begin with, loving someone and BEING IN LOVE with someone are two totally different things. Although you cannot be in love with someone without loving them, you can most certainly love someone without being in love with them. Love is an action NOT a feeling. You choose who and what you love, same goes with things you choose to dislike.
You can allow yourself to make your own decisions or you can choose to love because someone else does. I believe you can teach yourself to love someone but I don't think I'm a firm believer in teaching yourself to fall in love with someone. Although loving is an action, I believe falling in love is something you don't have control over. You can keep yourself from letting it showing or telling the person how you feel though.
Teaching yourself to fall out of love with someone is a totally different story. Wanna talk about rough? That's rough. Life goes on though and you grow. It might take weeks, months, maybe even years. Love is not something that should be taken lightly. Yes, you should love everyone ESPECIALLY yourself. Love is something that we should all do. We should do it all the time and whole heartedly.
All of these pictures represent different types of love. The love I have for my family is different than the love I have for my friends although I treat them as if though they were my family. I don't know what I'd do without my friends and I've written about them before. My love is unchanging though. It is not circumstantial. Sometimes I may get angry or upset, but that doesn't mean I just stop loving someone, it doesn't work that way. Love is a lot like life and has its ups and downs just like everything else. Love is love.

Love should be unfailing. Love should be constant, love should flow freely. I love talking about love because it is one thing everyone should have in common at one point in their lives. Love can be for just about anything, sadly. Love needs to be not only for others but for yourself also. I always talk about loving yourself because that is one thing I have struggled with for the longest time. I'm finally understanding the importance of loving myself. Without love for myself, how can I truly love others to my fullest extent?
Above all else, I believe there is no greater love than that of God. I want to be able to love like Jesus did. Without judging, without persecution, without thinking. He loved without getting angry, without asking questions. Being patience and letting the little things matter the way they should. I want a perfect love and I want to show and give perfect love. Love is such a short word yet holds more power than a person would think. Love changes lives, love saves lives, love should be life. Always chase after love and never give up. Because without love, what are we? Until next time...
