This is one of the most over exaggerated days of the year (NYE is the other one)... so much garbage goes into this day for show.
I love a lot of people and I love a lot of things but is there one person that will bring me that truthful love? I don't know. I want to think so but I'm not sure I believe in that anymore.
I'm on a journey and the last 47 years I've seen love fail.
I've seen 2 people who stood before God and family and friends... find love elsewhere.
I've seen hearts break because someone "fell out of love"... well isn't that a sweet little package dressed in a bow...
Well I don't know but every time I think of "falling" lately I think of ouch... skinned knees, bloody elbows, and scrapes and bruises...
Now I don't want that.
My favorite is "I don't want that 24/7" and that was in reference to their children.... who says that???? Isn't that suppose to be the strongest of all love's? How do you just turn that off? So if someone can say "yeah don't want that anymore" and look in their kids eyes or a daddy who doesn't even wanna look into their daughter's eyes at all... then maybe I don't want that at all.
So is there this never-ending solid as a bar of gold love? Apart from Christ. No.
There are days when our hearts smile and we can exhale in the arms of another.
There are days when our hair cooperates and our makeup is flawless and not a wrinkle on our outfit.
There are days when we need a smile from a stranger.
There are days when a kind word is spoken.
There are days when tears fall for the right reason.
There are days when the jeans finally fit.
There are days when the sunrise is just perfect.
There are days when just seeing the sunrise is a blessing.
There are days when the sunset is so colorful you smile, just simply to yourself.
There are days when the past creeps up on you and a memory runs down your cheek.
There are days when there is money in your bank account
There are days when the bed is the safest place ever and its so comfortable and surrounds you just right.
There are days when...
Well there are a lot of days and a lot of times that make our heart glad, and it doesn't involve another person declaring their undying love for me.
So today. I hope that I can exhale and smile, remember, receive a kind smile from a stranger, see the sunset all colorful, and find love within myself... Happy Valentine's Day's may the love you find come from within your own heart.
XOXO- Me
