Love is patient and kind.

"Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous. love is never boastful or concieted; it is never rude or selfish. it does not take offence and it is not resentful."
-A Walk To Remember
the quote above is why i wanted to make this blog. i wasnt even sure how i wanted to start this off though. i typed the same paragraph over and over again trying to see if anything sounded right. Love is the most important thing i have ever witnessed it is the most important word and phrase i have ever heard. Even though half the world talks about love nobody really knows what love is. its not just caring about someone. its loving every aspect of that someone. admiring every quality and flaw they have. So many people say hate is such a strong word, but so is love and im so outraged at how people throw the word love around like it doesnt mean anything. i love bread. i love grapes. i love marbles. NO you dont. you like it. you enjoy it. you do NOT love it.
but what makes me even more upset is that people think...to feel love you have to have a boyfriend or girlfriend. no, no, no. you can love anything that you admire and have close to you. like i love my friends. not ALL of them, but i do love some of them as if they were my own family. love isnt something you touch or move. its a feeling, an addicting. a disorder of wanting and needing something badly. Not being able to breathe without it. and even though it sounds corny and crazy and obsessive. THAT is what love is. so if you dont feel that strongly about something and you say love. you should take that word and stick it straight down your throat again because theres a vast difference between wanting something and needing something
needing something is love.

Thats soo deep. and the grapes thing, makes me laugh because i always say i love grapes but i guess i only really like them and enjoy them passionately. anyways the whole segment on love was very truthful and really gives us an epiphany that the words love and hate are thrown around like pennies.
