Love Is NOT Love

Have you ever wonder why love exists? What does it truly mean to love? Love comes in many forms, but love is not love. Everyone has feelings that run through our body when a situation occurs. Good or bad, when you really think about it what one feeling is ever the same. You meet someone but is it so that it could be love at first sight; or potentially grow into loving them. Your happy and In love because that person hasn’t made you mad or that person hasn’t disagreed with you. Things are butterflies and flowers, rainbows and candy. In that moment, months and minutes … hold onto that feeling. Embrace the sky you see and the air you breathe. Lock away the look on their face of pure happiness, love and warmth.

As love only happens so often. Time goes on and things change; different emotions fled the air as every situation never being the same. Days months and even years pass on and one stormy night your alone or at dinner and the world around you turns silent. Time has no time for you so it keeps running on and before you know it hours have gone by that you can’t get back. Makes you sit back and wonder why. Why me? Why did I have to fall for you? Why did you have to catch my eye? Why couldn’t I just walk away that day? Why did I let my emotions get the best of me? Why was I so stupid and irrigate. At that moment you start to doubt yourself. You doubt the love you had and even the love you shared. How could you be so reckless; to put your heart on the line like it was a zip line. Love isn’t love but an emotion that happens for a moment. Love is never one of the same.

That person you grew to love is now your partner, your spouse. The person you share your toothbrush with. The one you prep dinner for; your plus one. The one you do laundry and even iron for. The one you check on through out the day to make sure their heart is still beating because once upon a time your heart skipped a beat for them. The one your stuck with for forever. That person husband or wife boyfriend or girlfriend is your why everyday and every night. Let me ask you during every disagreement did you love ‘em? Every argument did you love ‘em? Every favor that was asked and answered with a no; did you love ‘em? Every time you caught him/her cheating did you love ‘em? Every time he/she hit you did you love ‘em? You may have answered yes and that only means one thing. Your world is full off cotton candy and unicorns maybe even blue skies and daffodils. Your to comfortable and scared to live because you never truly love someone the way you did when you first met, the first I do or the first forever. So many ups and downs side to side and all arounds for your love to ever stay the same. If you have answered no you went through the heartache and felt the pain within to know your love has changed. Events within the relationship could have made the bond you share stronger or closer or maybe further apart then four wheels on a car.

It’s called change! Change happens ALL the time; some people don’t like change so they continue with everyday life trying to keep that “first” feeling alive. I say encourage and embrace the change. With change you grow within yourself and your relationships with others. Let change take its course and be happy with whatever the out come brings upon you. Without change you have no future and if you have no future then your not living. Live your best life and don’t be afraid. Life is a risk and everything you do with it. Driving a car is risky or walking your pet. Even siting in your home watching tv is risky. An electric fire could happen or a car accident could very well make a pit stop through your living room.

Life is risky with EVERYTHING you do. Live life as you feel not as what the world paints life should be. In the end you will see Love IS NOT Love.
