Ei Bro!
Sup? It’s been quite a while now hasn’t it? Well I’m just glad you’re doing better than last time.
Dude you’ve asked me this time and again, “How would I know if I’m in love?” and always I tell you, “You just know.” Hence, if you’re planning to ask me if you are in love with someone, well more than likely the answer is no. Set yourself free! Hang loose! Don’t you dare even think of analyzing love and the symptoms of it lest you want to drive yourself crazy. Don’t think more than you have to. Love comes, love goes, love remains. You feel it, not think about nor analyze it. Have you been hurt? Have you felt pain? Insult maybe Or maybe even treachery? Now despite those feelings, do you still long for the person? Do you find it possible to forgive and see through the pain, dirt and confusion? If you do then there you go, that’s love. You just “know” it’s there. No analysis needed, no scientific methods of deduction and soving.
You could and will reach your extremes, be it joy or despair, anger or calmness and despite what you feel you could still find in your heart happiness for “the one.” She could tell you to your face “I’m in love with someone else…” and you would just smile though your heart is breaking and tell her you’re happy for her. She could spit in your face and insult you but the moment she trips and falls you would still be there to catch her. Hah! The irony and the beauty of love.
Beauty maybe but skin deep, but not so when it pertains to the beauty of someone in love, for that person’s beauty transcends anything and everything. How come? Because it is the kind of beauty that rests not on the surface, but is rooted deep in the soul. Another reason why you will just “know” when you’re in love. Love is in your heritage, it is in your being. Love is who you are. Remember, you were created in His image and likeness, the likeness of love. It is your nature, it is in you. It is not something you learn, it is what you ARE. Search for love within yourself, ask Him, and I guarante you’ll find love. Have faith.
Remember the story I told you? The story of the old man with a scarred and bleeding heart and the young man with a clean and shining heart? I hope you do. Remember, the heart that has bled, lost a few pieces and gained a few, is a heart that has truly loved.
Well, I gotta go for now bro. Till next we meet. Keep yourself in prayer. I’ll be around whenever you need me. Oh and next time drinks are on me.
God Bless!
