Love Always Wins,

Tonight, I was relaxing and thinking hmm, what to write about?

My wonderful boyfriend hops onto me, asking me what I‘m doing, basically wondering why I’m not giving him my attention.

He says to write about how “love always wins”.

Now I have not quite contemplated psychologically why he said that, but I liked where his head was at.

He went on to say that even in tragedy, and hard times, love usually become’s stronger especially after an unfortunate event.

As per usual, everything that comes’s out of his mouth, I either learn too or question everything.

He never stop’s to fail to amaze me, but I really enjoyed this though. Especially as a reminder of why I love him because most of us know all that glitter’s definitely is not gold.

(A quote from Tuesday’s with Morrie, by Mitch Albom.)

“Have I told you about the tension of opposites?” he says.

The tension of opposites?

“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.

A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”

Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.

“A wrestling match.” He laughs. “Yes, you could describe life that way.”

So which side wins, I ask?

“Which side wins?”

He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.

“Love wins. Love always wins.”

We have over 70,000 thoughts each day. If we can try to tip the scale so that even some of these thoughts are not about tension, but instead about love and positivity, we might have a better chance of moving forward.

We are all flawed. Human nature sucks sometimes, straight up. We try so hard to silently fight our battles and to hide our scars, but at the end of the day, they are what makes us “us”. We spend all day battling the tensions and opposing the forces that we forget where we want to be. Living well is not easy, it truly is a tension of opposites.

Love Always wins.
