Love has to be one of the most cherished things on this earth. There is nothing, other than God, that is stronger than the power that love has over people. Love can make a person laugh, cry, be crazy, or even a little shy. There is not much else on earth that can truly stand the test of time.
I was always the hypocrite as a teenager. (Not that I am much older in years than I was then.) Whenever I saw a happy couple I would laugh and say, “They’ll never make it. I refuse to ever act like that.” No one was every really committed to the person they were so “deeply” in love with. I could not stand by and let these people ruin their lives as I so truly thought they were doing. However, all of the things that I thought were nonsense changed when I met my true love.
It hits you like a rock when the love of your life comes to you. They make your heart skip a beat when you see them. You become nervous and comfortable all at the same time when they are around. Suddenly, I was doing all the silly things that I had seen those other people doing. I was giggly all the time and you would rarely see me without a smile on my face. I would catch myself thinking of him when I was supposed to be doing other things. I always thought that marriage was stupid, that no two people could ever live their entire lives together and be happy. I was WRONG!
This I believe: When love comes to you, do not push it away. God chooses one person for each and every one of us. Do not let the one you are truly meant to be with pass you by because you are stubborn or afraid. Learn to embrace love and it will never betray you.
This coming July I will wed the man that I am supposed to be with. He loves me unconditionally. He loves me when I am happy, angry, sad, and even when I am hateful. He supports me in everything that means so much to me. And I do the same for him. He never fails to surprise me and fulfill me in every way. In a couple of years we will both have to leave our lives at home and move states away so that I can attend veterinary school. Does this bother him? No way, love knows no boundaries. So take my advice and believe in the power of love.
