Love isn't an emotion. They can change and die out.

Love is constant work and sacrifice. It's about patience and acceptance. People love wholeheartedly only when they realize that it's not just about an emotion inside. Love has to be nurtured through mistakes and perserverance.

I learned today that love can be overly glamourized. Sometimes people do not realize what they have until it's gone. They don't realize that it takes work and it's okay to stay together...even through the hard times. It's okay to have a difference of opinion once in a while. I realize that balance is needed when it comes to love. No one has authority over another. Both have complete control of the relationship.

I don't know what it was about the homily tonight. It was about how love isn't what we think it is. It was about how one must really consider another's heart when it comes to love. It's not about a feeling. It's so much more than that. Love is a simple and complex notion. Each facet is just as important as the last.

Yeah, I miss him. I really do. I took in the words spoken today. Love. It's strange that it can strengthen the likes of anyone yet it's so fragile.

Think about love a little bit.

Think about who tells you that they love you. Do you really love them for everything they are and everything that they're not? I don't just throw out that phrase. If I tell you that I do...then I do.

I love you.
