Love can be defined as many wonderful things in the world. Love is blind and has no boundaries.
To many people, the word love means different aspects. There is the love for a mother, a father, a sibbling, and even for friends. This type of love is unconditional and even when mad at each other, you know you simply can't go a day without them, no matter what. This type of love has been alive since we were babies and we were first carried by our mother and has grown with us ever since.
But what about the other "love"...the love we always seem t say we have towards a special person in our lives. Our partners, our soulmates, our best friends with whom we share everything and whom we live our lives next to. What about that love?
For many years now, I have been searching for that special someone. The special person who will always be there for you. That person who knows you very well and would do anything for you. For years, I have rushed my life into finding it, but little did I know that what I was searching for was nowhere to be found.
The idea od that special someone is often mistaken and taken for granted. We often seek to find a person who is PERFECT. Someone who has the looks of a Vogue magazine model. Who takes you out to dinner. Who buys you roses. Who gives you everything you need, and then some. When you search for this, theonly thing you're looking or is something that is quite unreachable and can never be defined. Perfection.
When I found the man that I am with now, I never expect it to be this big of a deal. Like stated before, I was searching for something that was truly nowhere to be found and when I found this man, it was a slap in the face that I was soon to discover. He is very far in the perception of perfect from other peoples' point of view, but he is perfect to me. He is the sweetest man I know and I would never trade him.
You see, when I found him, I wasn't looking. I think that's what brought our worlds together. The fact that love comes when you least expect it and at the momment when your life really needs a reaity check.
He does not take me out to eat every day. He does not buy me flowers every day. He doesn't even look like a model from Vogue, but to me, that is not important in any way. Staying in at home and enjoying the time with him is fr more important than going out to clubs or patying all night. Eating in is far more romantic to cook than ging out and having the fanciest entree on the menu. To me, the simplicity of our replationship is the flame that keeps the fire in our hearts burning.
Love your partners for who they are. Accept them for what they're worth, and be loyal. Be faithful, be true.
This type of love is only found when you accept youself for who you are and for what you are worth. You are beautiful, inside and out. Don't ever let anyone else tell you otherwise. Believe in yourself and the world will follow after. Follow your dreams and live your life accordingly. Most importantly: LOVE. Love your friends, love your family, love your partner. But most importantly, love yourself.
