Something Unexpected

It was something unexpected. It was something forgotten. It was something new. Yet, it something that we all know so well, dream about, speak of, think of....the thing we all feel. It was that bright fire that burns. It was something that came around a time that was so unexpected, a time in which this very thing I speak of I thought no longer existed. It came during a time that seemed bleak, during a time in which disappointment was high.

It was something I was afraid to approach. Something I was afraid to touch. Something I was afraid to trust. It was that thing that at times we're all afraid to give into. It was something that made me nervous. Something I couldn't quite figure out. Something that made me shy. Something that made me feel unsure.

Something I tried to define.

It was something I have wanted for awhile now. It was something that many people fight for, something many cry for. Something many learn from. It was something many walk away defeated by. It was something I was proud of. Something uplifting.

It was something we all take for granted. It was something that I could not fathom at times. Something that made me feel like I was floating. Something that made me lose control. Something that made me feel like I was ontop of the world.

It was security. It was joy. It was something that snuck up behind me and caught me.

It was those butterflies, those smiles...that hello.

It was this thing that words at time is not enough to explain. It was just this feeling.

It was something real. Something true. Something unexpected. Something needed.

It was you. Love.

XOXO,

A Salute to Love

So, as an ode to valentines day...I just thought I had to do this...You know, this stuff is just too cute..

Isn't it? Come on now...don't be a sour patch.

But, now, time to get a little serious....

Just remember, with Valentines day coming up, that the celebration of LOVE is something that should be celebrated year round and not just on one day. Get out and celebrate LOVE with friends and family if you can. Valentines Day is not the day to sit around and mope about how you currently may not have a significant other. Love exists in so many different ways. Therefore, be kind and express your Love to the people that help you through thick and thin.

Let a little LOVE in your heart folks

Peace and xoxo,

Lolita

Just Wondering.....

What exactly is love? Some people, actually, a lot of people struggle with this question. I believe I have my own definition of Love, and when I choose to say it, I mean it. What mind boggles me when it comes to the concept of Love, is when another person has the audacity to tell me that "you shouldn't just throw around the word Love." Quite frankly, if that's the way you feel, then use it. I believe that many times, especially concerning developing bonds and friendships, Love doesn't have a time frame or an alarm that lets you know when to use it. However, I do feel that once the word Love is used, there is no turning back. Love remains.

In conclusion, if ever a person tells you that "you don't know what Love is" or "you shouldn't say that word or just throw it around".....just remember, that those exact same people telling you what to do with Love are the same people trying to grasp the concept of Love just like yourself. In due time, you will create your own definition of love, if you haven't done so already.

Peace & Love =]
