The Four Letter Word

L-O-V-E

Why is it sometimes so hard to love people???

If you don't have love in you, then you can't give love to anyone else. You cannot give away something you don't have.

Sometimes it's hard to love yourelf... You don't feel good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, strong enough... But you wouldn't BE here if you weren't.

One of my favorite quotes from Wedding Crashers, besides all of the rules of course, is that "True Love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another." Isn't that it though? When you would do for someone any and all things you would do for yourself? When you would feel things for the person that you only feel for yourself? When you feel spiritually and uncontrollably connected to that person... A connection so strong that nothing can tear it apart. Isn't that true love?

I speak as if I am an expert... which I clearly am not. But I speak my mind, and today... and maybe just today... that's how I feel about LOVE!
