HeLLo worLd....

Ladies wouLd you marry a man if your famiLy didn't approve??? WouLd Love conquer aLL in that situation??? Is Love powerfuL enough to ignore everything you've grown to know is right; respecting your famiLy and their wishes, not repLacing your famiLy with his famiLy, but combining the famiLies? Men the same goes for you... Love is supposed to be a joining of two, compromises must be made...  When you are with someone you shouLd Love them with your whole heart, yet never putting yourseLf and your emotions on the back burner.


from the movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin:

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine

Love is a beautifuL thing...  It's most precious when two hearts have been joined together and they have LiteraLLy grown oLd together!  My grandparents got married when they were both stiLL in high schooL... They grew oLd together, took care of each other, and fuLfiLLed their vows of untiL death do us part...  If my grandmother was stiLL aLive they would ceLebrate their 57th anniversary this year... GOD granted them the opportuinity to ceLebrate their 50th anniversary... Just to know someone for 50 years is a Lot, but to be in a reLationship with someone for 50 pLus years is amazing to me!  I admire their courage, poise, and commitment towards each other.

There are a biLLion Love songs out from the beginning of music and continuing... I want to have the Love not onLy described in these songs, but a Love that can onLy be understood between myseLf and my souLmate... A Love with such an aura, everyone around us wiLL see how deepLy in Love we are and wiLL admire us, the same way I admire my grandparents...

Love is a beautifuL thing and I beLieve everyone deserves to feeL Loved, whether by their famiLy, a souLmate, or a chiLd.

On my Last post my mom commented and I Love the Last words she Left me... "ALways Live Like there is no tomorrow, Laugh out Loud reaL hard and as often as possibLe, and Love with an open heart."

I hope everyone has a great day and opens their hearts to Love someone or to aLLow someone to Love them!
