In this life, love is one of many things to experience, but perhaps it is arguably the most significant feat to attain. It is something we all crave and yearn for, yet, sadly, not something we are all privileged to experience.
Love can exist in various forms. We love our parents and siblings in a manner that differs dramatically from the love we have for a romantic partner, or even for a friend. Love isn’t objective in the sense that we all live and love differently, meaning what one person might consider love could be viewed as loyalty or dedication by someone else.
A few days ago, I was at home with my husband, Blaine. He said something that made me laugh, and after we chuckled, I had a bit of an epiphany, if you will. I was looking at Blaine and realized that this man really does love me unconditionally, and I couldn’t help but consider how damn lucky I am to have found my person in this life.
Are there days I could roundhouse Blaine to the dome? Absolutely. I think that’s normal, however, and while a roundhouse kick may not immediately come to mind for all of us when we are annoyed or upset with our partner, any other sort of violence is acceptable.
Blaine is my partner in all of the things in this life, and I am ridiculously fortunate to have been blessed to find him in this crazy world. I feel the same way about my parents and my sister, obviously, without the physical attraction tidbit – how fortuitous am I that I was born into such a loving, wonderful family?
Life is far too short to take much of anything for granted, but love, especially. If you find it or have it already, cherish it with your entire being.
