love will find its way

I've learned to breathe in all these years and now in this moment when it seems that all the breathes we take are stale and suffocating, I find myself wondering how people get through all we have to do and still find time for love. In three years, I have grown into more love than I've ever known, but at the same time, sometimes we get so caught up in all that is around us that we take that love for granted. And that makes me appreciate more how hard it is for people to stay married for years and years, how hard it is in this world to be loved unconditionally and without reason. I guess we just have to find our roots again, we have to look deep into our souls and search for the reasons we love someone. In my case, I love him because I can tell him anything, because in the end, he'd do everything he could to never let me down. I love him because after all these years, and all the stuff we've gone through together, he's still the person that can always make me laugh, the person that cares about how I feel and the person that regardless of how bad he's screwed up, he's always willing to try to fix it.

Love is something that becomes routine. It's something that we take so much for granted, and when we get to that point where it seems stale and breathless, we must remember that no matter what, if we have that person that does truly love us unconditionally, love will always find a way.

Defying gravity

I got to thinking tonight about how much we've all changed, and yet how much we are still the same. Here we are three years into the real world and some of us have gotten so far, while others have stayed behind. Some of us have created different journeys for ourselves than we imagined before. Some of us have found lovers, some of us gotten married, some of us gotten jobs, some of us studying for that career we've worked so hard for. Some of us are on our own, some of us not so much. But really in the end it comes down to what is in our souls and in our hearts.

Here we are, on the eve of adulthood and sometimes it feels like this road we call life, only continues to wind farther and farther away from where we thought we'd be. Here we are, wondering which decision to make, wondering how to keep surviving, wondering which people to say yes to, which people to tell no, which ideas to keep and which to throw away. It's time to try defining gravity. It's time to move towards all that we want and push away all that hinders us. It's time for us to stand up and make something of ourselves. It's time to move toward what we want and what we believe in. We must find that higher strength and push towards what we believe is real and true.

It's that time in our lives where we must stand up for what we believe in, because if we don't we will look back twenty years from now and shed a tear for the lost action that we long to recreate. We are young, passionate, and ready for our lives to begin.
