Have You Ever Been In Love?

I simply want to fall in love, be in love, and live in love.

Have you ever been in love? I mean truly in love. I'm not necessarily talking about just with another person, but more so with life, with yourself, with the details. Lately I've battled with the thought of have I ever truly been in love. Have I ever really been head over hills, overly joyed, and filled with fire? Have I ever felt that I would risk everything for something or someone because I was in love?

I realized I hadn't reached that feeling. I had love in me, but I wasn't deeply in love. And I wanted to feel what that was like. I wanted to exemplify every characteristic of love in every way possible and not have second thoughts about it.

I've heard countless times in some fashion that "love hurts," and that it simply not the truth. Knowing love and the traits that it holds does not provide hurt in any manner. And if it did then that was not love, or it certainly was not the love I wanted to fall into. I want to fall in the kind of love where it feels like I am forever floating on a cloud going straight into heaven's gates. The kind of love that only my God can give.

I want to fall in love with someone special and show them what true love looks like. I want to fall in love with my friendships and relationships so that I would never feel like I'm taking anyone for granted and not giving everything I have and more. I want to fall in love with the gift God placed in me and put in on display to the world, so that they can see the love within it. So that the world can see my heart, and all the contents that it carries. I want to fall in love with my purpose so that I would never lose sight of what really matters. I want to fall in love with my current situation and the life around me. I want to embrace every single moment of life and all the experiences that will take place. I want to fall in love with the details. The details that make up the big picture. The details that are over looked but matter the most. I want to fall in love with being a vessel for new life. I simply want to fall in love, be in love, and live in love.

Everyday I continue to ask myself, am I truly in love? Knowing that the thought is in the back of my mind keeps me motivated and inspired to pursue and radiate love in every aspect of my life. I never want to lose that fire, and I never want to stop adventuring through life's experiences that lead me to being in love and appreciating it.

Are you truly in love?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
