Love; Noun: 1. An intense feeling of deep affection. 2. A person or thing that one loves. Verb: 1. To feel a deep romantic or sexual attachment to (someone).


Love, it is a word. A word people throw around way to much. A word that can make someone the happiest person in the world, or destroy a person emotionally. It's so amazing that one word 4 letters can be so powerful. People are day and age don't really understand what love is or isn't.

Love is not:

A word just to say

a game to play

what you say

about how much you say "I love you"

about the physical affection

abuse

a trophy

jealousy

based on sex

a Verb

desire

self seeking

controlling

discriminative

No matter how much negativity that sometimes goes into love, love is still a magical thing.

Love is...

what you do

anything you make it

what you feel

how much you appreciate one another

sharing

kindness to one another

passion for each other

trust

honesty

respect for each other

a choice

equal

caring

creating the right relationship

putting the other person first

yesterday, tomorrow, and forever

no boudaries

special

When it comes to love people can be blinded by it or even have false feelings of love. Love can be a whirlwind of emotion and exciting for someone who has never experienced it before. The thing to remember is not getting caught up in the emotions and separate what love is and isn't. Even though Love is such a powerful word it is not something to be messed with, because Love is special.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
