Birds, water, and everything nice

A bird is graceful and proud. It lives in the moment and for the moment. It doesn't worry about what is to come and it doesn't care about what happened. Its always thankful for whatever it has and never wants more. Water is pure. Its always moving even when it stands still. It never lies and it always follows the same path but its not predictable. At any given moment it could change. It shows everything for what it is but that ability can also block the outside from seeing what lies in its depths.

The Definition of Love

A while back I wrote in one of my journals my definition of love. Love is when you care about someone so much that you will go out of your way to make them happy and comfortable. You would gladly give up your own life for that person. To love someone is to be by that person even if they screw up cause hey we all do at some point. Loving a person is not how they look or dress, its loving and knowing their personality, their laugh, their smile, their ups and downs, their sense of humour no matter how lame it may be. If you truly love someone never hesitate to tell them because life is far too short and you never know when it might be your last chance. Love is a selfless act. Its the gift that you give when you have nothing left. When you are broken its all that you have left. Before saying "I love you" think about what you are committing to. Those words are powerful and cannot lie. This definition I believe can go towards a significant relationship or in a friendship/family. There is so much more that could be added to what love is because it is never ending and a person is so complex that you can never fully know them.
