#16 Falling for someone. Hard.

When everything reminds you of them.
When you can't escape them, even in your dreams.
When all you can think about is what it would feel like to be lying in their arms right now and kiss them and not say a word, just be together in the silent agreement that everything is alright and that the universe won't collide and nothing bad can happen as long as you're together.

This is love. And as long as love exists in this cold, unfair universe, there will still be hope. And as long as there is hope, there will always be a reason to live.

Come to think of it. Someone out there in this big, intimidating world is waiting for someone just like you to walk into their lives and stay forever. To change it for the better. Help them through the ups and downs that life holds in store for them and build a future together. And to do the same for you. Maybe they're already in your life. Maybe you haven't met them yet. Who knows?
All I know is that love is the most magnificent feeling on earth, it makes you feel invincible, as though you could do anything you want as long as they are on your side. So you think you're not worthy of love? You think you're not good enough? You hate yourself so much that you wonder how someone could possibly ever fall in love with a person like you? Because no one in your life ever loved you and if they did, they never really stayed?
Well, let me tell you something. You're wrong. You're so worthy of love. You're just as worthy of love as any other human being and animal on this planet. You live for a reason, your heart is pumping blood through your veins, dozens of times per minute, you are breathing and right in this very moment your brain is creating pictures of incomparable, unique beauty. Now, even though the reason you live may not be for love, trust me: falling in love with someone will take the burden off of your shoulders and make life a lot simpler. Just be on the outlook for the right person.

Who knows, maybe they're right in front of you and you're too blinded by your search to actually notice them. Open your eyes.

Love is everything and everywhere.



This is why we do it, this is worth the pain,
This is why we fall down and get back up again,
We do it for love.
