loved and lost.
when we’re in love, we experience the greatest joys. the quickening of your heartbeat just seeing your love walking towards you, the constant urge to just be ard her all the time, the tingling in your spine you experience when skin comes into contact with skin… these are but some of the little joys of being in love.
yet at the same time, it is from the highest heights that one experiences the greatest falls. it is when you’re so utterly drawn into what you believe in, into that romantic perspective as to what true love actually feels like, that when a single glitch is found in the system, things fall apart.
i was just sitting in my bed, thinking abt all that has happened to me and just reflecting upon how i’ve become the person i am today. and i truly believe that within the last 3 years alone, i’ve gone through a tremendous amount of growth and maturity, and experienced so much more than i ever expected to. perhaps it’s also because of this that i’m able to listen to others, and at times even offer my own point-of-view without them laughing at me at how "shallow" my views might seem to be.
to truly experience pain, misery, brokenness and heartbreak… one has to love.
indeed, the myriad of emotions and feelings that is called love - beautiful, primal, fascinating, abstract. there’s nothing quite like it, and nothing that will ever be like it. i’m so grateful to have had the chance to experience it myself, and i honestly doubt that i’d trade what i had for anything else in this world.
just rmbr though, love doesnt make the world go round.
it’s just what makes the ride worthwhile (;
