love

Love is a complicated thing. Some people love too much, others not enough. From where I'm standing, love is more than just a deep affection for someone or something. Love is your independence, your foundation, your soul. Once you give it away, you can no longer stand on your own. People often say that life is empty without love. I agree, in some ways. You don’t have to love somebody. And no one has to love you. But if you go through your days without loving anything, then life isn’t worth living. Without passion, desire, or dreams, you can’t expect happiness. But then again, maybe you don’t want it. Maybe you’re like me, so used to being miserable that once happiness comes along, you shoot it down. Not liking the difference, not expecting the change. Whether you love or not is up to you. But you should love. Not someone, but something. Anything. When you love something, you may no longer be able to stand on your own, but when you’re standing, you’re just standing. You can’t stand and fly at the same time.
