Love

Current mood: weird
The truth is, everyone wants to fall in love and be loved back but alot of people fear love's obstacles and the pain that they may feel because of it. Though one may want to love someone, they often hold back, waiting to love that other person only until they are certain of recieving equal love in return, but if everyone went by those standards, we could end up waiting forever. If you put expectations on love, you'll surely be disappointed eventually, because it's not likely that most people can reach all those needs, no matter how great their love is toward them. The only person we can demand and expect things to change is from ourselves. Others can and will only give what they are able, not what you desire they give. From experience, I have learned that each person's love grows to their own rate, in their manner, on their own time. And sometimes people are scared to not be loved backed immediately when said they love the other person, but love is patient and will always continue to expand if you give it faith and most importantly a chance. The biggest thing I can emphasize on love is that love lives the moment. True love doesn't mean a life long commitement. Don't expect that in the future, ( a day, month, year,) that the feelings you hold at the present will remain the same. There is only the moment and only the moment has true value. Love holds experiences from the past-but never can it relive it- and neither can it live the future, because tomorrow may never come. There is only one thing of which you can be certain and that is change. To deny change, denies reality. Attitudes change, feelings change, desires change, and especially love changes. So you can't stop it, don't hold back, just go with it and experience all the joy you can cause you never know how long it will last.....
