Love is Love is Love

I normally think of what I should have said or done, after the situation has already passed. So, it being the day after Valentine's Day, it only makes sense that I would think to write about Love and just how important it is.

Love is it. It's the base of it all. At least I feel it is. A quote comes to mind as I write this,

"Unless you love someone, nothing else makes sense." -E.E. Cummings

And it's true, it's terribly true. It can be love in its simplest, or most treacherous form. Choose to love your sister, your best friend, and that neighbor down the street. Love your boyfriend, your puppy, and even that friend with whom you've grown apart from. But always love, no matter what. Love is what gets people out of bed in the morning and makes it so they are able to sleep soundly at night.

So whether you love someone, or are in love with them, hold onto it. Because when you have one of those days where nothing is going right; you woke up late, your hair looks like a birds nest, you're trying to rush out the door but can't remember where you put your keys, you get a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and wish you'd have put make up on, then you hit every red light, and your boss is angry at you so he gives you an excessive amount of work...

Remember that someone loves and cares about you, and you have someone to love and care about. Make that enough to get you through the day. Because if you let it, it will. It always will.
