She wasn’t one of those girls who fell in love easily. The world of crazy whirlwind love-stories and big old shiny rings would probably look at her and call her a lot of things. Scared. Hurt. Closed-off. They would probably say she needed to let life in more— and let love do what it will within her. They would say that— but it’s only because they didn’t understand. She wasn’t any of those things. And she most certainly wasn’t scared of a love so deep and true it would change her eyes completely. A kind of love that would change her and show her who she was— all at the same time. I mean, she was completely, totally open to that. And maybe that was the difference. Because what she saw, and maybe the world didn’t spend as much time thinking about— is how expansive the spectrum of how we love each other is. And how many beautiful— but different— kinds of love there was in this world. There was young love. And the love of a family. There was love for things and experiences— for memories and friends. And then there was the romantic kind of love. And she figured there we’re exactly four ways we love each other when it comes to that. There are the people we shouldn’t love, but do. The ones we should love, but don’t. The perfect one— with the wrong timing. And then the one. The one who probably didn’t look and sound a thing like the one she’d been searching for her lifetime over. And that was the heart she wanted to wait for. To love with that kind of depth and certainty. And when she found that one— and they willingly took each other’s hands to walk forward in this life— she knew she was going to fall. Completely. Totally. Hopelessly. In. Love. So that’s what she’s waiting for. Just so you know. Because to her, honestly— everything else is just everything else. ♥ // November Theme: I am done surviving.
