I love and I love hard. I love, and I love big. I don't take things in my arms and say, "hey, I'm gonna do this halfway." I take things in my arms and I hold on until I can't possibly hold on anymore; I hold on until there is nothing left to do but let go.
I am by no means saying this is the right way to love. There is no right way to love.
And there is no right way to let go. Sometimes we just let go because we have to. Sometimes people just slip out of our arms and there is no way to pick them back up. Or sometimes you try to pick them back up and just break your back in the process. And in the end, is it worth it?
Love is not forever. I know all those songs and movies go on about how love is everlasting and so on and so forth. And in a lot of ways, it is. The concept, I mean; love as a tangible thing. I think in this very blog I have written numerous times, "love will outlive us all." And it will. But love for one person, that does not last forever. I think it's possible to love and then let that love go. Or love from a distance, at the very least. I think we always care for the people in our lives, the people from our past. I think there are very few people who play major roles in your life that you eventually feel apathy for. And after all, isn't that the real opposite of love?
I don't really know what I'm going on about. I've been watching a lot of Grey's Anatomy and it makes me feel, but the outcome is almost always nonsensical.
Really, I think all anyone really wants is for someone to love them. And I think all anyone really wants is to love. But then there is the exception for every rule...
But... what else are we built for? People are made to nurture, to care for one another, to procreate. Not just people. Almost all mammals give birth and then raise their young. We care for one another. What is life without the ones we love?
People matter. That's all.
