Anna Godbersen, author of "The Luxe," once said, "The first stab of love is like a sunset, a blaze of color -- oranges, pearly pinks, vibrant purples..."
They say it's a tough thing--love, that is. Truthfully, whoever first said that hit the nail right on the head. It's hard, confusing, complicated, but so worth it. Some people look at it as if it is a treasure map with a designated "X" to mark the spot. Unfortunately, with all its ins and outs and lefts and rights, there is no direction to turn, even when you have no idea where you're trying to go. It's the world's biggest mystery. Love can happen in a day and somehow disappear after 50 years. In the end, you just never know what might come from its being.
There is no set person to love and there is no set way to do it. Nothing about the journey has been previously set out for you or for anyone else to discover. You are completely 100% on your own to find if, cherish it and live it to the best of your ability. And if you do and you get that chance, then you are one of the luckiest out there. There are few things in this world that are more beautiful than being given the chance to love another person and give them your heart and soul. What can be better than sharing parts of yourself with another person that you have never even unlocked before?
It's a crazy world and it's full of a lot of crazy, stupid love. But it's the love that makes the world go 'round. A life without love is like a breath without air. You can't live without it, only with it. If it presents itself to you, don't push it away out of fear, give it a chance and see what can happen.
No one in your life has any right to tell you that the love you feel for another person is "wrong" in some way. It's not; no love is wrong. It's all stunningly vibrant. It lights up to world to no end. The vibrant light that shines from a relationship is part of the whole fascination surrounding it all. We see it and we want it for ourselves. We want to feel that warmth, to feel the safety and clarity of that light. It is not just the feeling of love itself, but it is the vibrance of love that catches our eye.
