Sam I Am.: 143.

143.

Unfortunately, Sunday afternoons seem to be my designated time for deep thinking.
The thing that's been running through my mind over and over lately is a word.
A word that's been so over used, its meaning has been altered almost unrecognizably by society. But yet, it still has the same meaning to all of us. I guess it's all about perspective.
Love.
Love is an emotion of strong affection and personal attachment.^[1] In philosophical context, love is a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection. ( I just thought you should know the definition. :) )

When you tell someone "Im in love with you." That should mean something, shouldn't it? Think about it.. 'Im in love with you.' It's not a feeling. It's a state of being. And, it's not a one-sided thing. Being in love WITH someone, means that you both love at equal rates, at equal paces.

"The one who loves less controls the relationship."- Anon.

Another point:
There are so many people that think there's the one person that fits perfectly with them. But, speaking from experience that no girl my age should have, there is no such thing as this "perfect person".
I think, that one day, I'll meet a guy that is just as stubborn as me, has lots of quirks and differences, but those are the things that are going to make me love him. He may lose his temper sometimes or maybe speak before he thinks, but we're going to work through the differences, and that will make me love him.
I'll love him because even through the fire and the flames, he still stuck with me. It's the rough patches that make us who we are.

No one said love would be easy. They just said it would be worth it.

"Promise yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

-Christian D. Larson.

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” - Marilyn Monroe
