Today I sat and watched an episode of one of my favorite shows and it got me to thinking. This portion of the show was about an elderly couple who've been together for over 50 years. The two actors did an amazing job portraying love and devotion to one another; which was the part that made me 'think'.
I started thinking about my experiences, experiences of my friends and stories about a friend of a friend. Many of us search our entire lives for that partner who will look at us, even after 50 years, in 'that way'.
'That Way' = The look of desire (because they want you THAT bad), the look of fear (scared that you will not love them back or scared that you will leave) and the look of excitement (that you are right there...in that moment...with them) all rolled up into one.
Some of us long for that sort of love and some of us are scared of it. To our own detriment, we get into these relationships out of loneliness and thirst for love. We quickly forget that love cannot be created or forced. These actions can only lead to disaster, heartache and hurt. Love has to present itself and grab you by the hand organically.
For the ones that long for this experience, be patient. For the ones that are scared of love, it's understandable. However, it can change your life for the better once you experience true love.
