"there is no fear in love. but perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment.
the one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 john 4:18)
.
All of us should reach out and touch someone's heart every day. Whether its direct or indirectly. People do love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. Don't they? Well, i need it and want it!
.
Love grows within you, and so does beauty. For love is the beauty of the soul. Love is not a single emotion, but a multitude of feelings. I protest.
.
Some of us do not have the ability to display emotions as easily as others. But hey, that could be forgiven! It doesn't make the feelings any less real. Isn't it the same as "if you jump, i'll jump too"? Just when we give up on finding Love, we discover it didn't give up on us.
.
I have to agree that perfect love has no fear - quoted by dear grace.
.
Who knows?! My enemies may be the ones that taught me how to love...
.
The words that we speak sometimes may not be the words we want to say, right? We can't always take away our lover's tears, but we can try. There is nothing in this physical world that will ever be perfect for us, ever.
.
Does love exist as a reflection? When we show love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develope inner happiness and peace. Perhaps what we see in Love, and derive from Love, is the commonality within each of our hearts.
.
The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies, With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies, When love is done.
.
Praying hard for the passing clouds to go away. I spent the day with Debbie, Jordan, Jeremy, Raj and Leon. Its been about 3years since we've gone out together, a clique is what they call it. Memories were unforgettable &loved. Skating &cycling we did despite the slippery floor. I fell on my bum &was rewarded with a big bruise! The rain diddn't stop us from having fun. Everytime a new unavoidable excitement surprised me. Leaving marks that hurt me good.
.
I ponder too much on all the things that i want and need. I lifted my head high wishing for the rain to wash my worries and pain away. I loved you. I promised i would be there. I diddn't leave. But...
.
"I'm wanting this for sure. And i'm begging for nothing more..."
.
It grabbed my attention, there was a connection that i couldn't let go. I thought that this thing we had would never change but i diddn't have the confidence to say it. I don't know anymore, don't know who you think i am, for sure. A time machine i want. Grant me, badly.
.
I'd finish it strong

I learnt to love in 5steps.
.
1. Say it. When you say the words "i love you", it should carry with you the desire to show someone that you love him/her, not what you simply want to feel. When you say it, make sure you really mean it and are willing to do anything for that special person.
2. Empathize. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Rather than impose your own expectations or attempt to control them, try to understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
3. Love unconditionally. If you cannot love another person without attaching stipulations, then it is not love at all, but deep-seated opportunism (one who makes the most of an advantage, often unmindful of others). If your interest is not in the other person as such, but rather in how that person can enhance your experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If you have no intention of improving that person’s life, or allowing that person to be themselves and accepting them as they are, and not who you want them to be, then you are not striving to love them unconditionally.
4. Expect nothing in return. That doesn't mean you should allow someone to mistreat or undervalue you. It means that giving love does not guarantee receiving love. Try loving just for the sake of love. Realize that someone may have a different way of showing their love for you, do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
5. Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you should have a greater appreciation of what you have. Think of how lucky you are to have someone to love.
.
I concluded that Love is difficult to define. How do you avoid confusing it with infatuation or lust?
.
the end...
