Something About Love

If I know a thing or two

Something About Love
Google

A while ago I had a dream that my ex admitted he was still in love with me. That he never stopped. And it broke my heart. I am very sensitive when it comes to things like that. I just love being loved as any other human being. And that night was the night I realized I need to be more appreciative of what's in front of me.

You see, I figured out that love is not something you can wrap your head around. You can't predict it. You can't assume it. Love is raw and ugly at times. Love is painful. Love is crying on the chest of your significant other because you're afraid of losing them. Love is random hugs and kisses. Love is fighting over pointless things; sometimes everyday.

Love is putting the other before yourself and wanting better for them than for yourself. It's putting up with them for so long even though they continuously piss you off about things that are not even relevant. You have to care. You just have to.

I always use my dreams in my writing because I know that they are important messages from beyond. That dream must have been telling me to open my eyes and not lose hope of what I have. It was telling me not to get distracted by the past and keep my eyes on the future. You have to move on because if you're stuck in the past, you won't proceed to your next checkpoint.

So I apologize if I have hurt anyone in the past with my actions or my opinions, thoughts, or feelings. And to everyone reading, I have realized one thing that everyone else should realize: when you love someone once, you always love them; even if you hate them. Even if they did you wrong. You either love someone forever or you never loved them at all. Not for real at least.

"I remember for the first time since I hated you that I used to love you."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
