little bit on love

This is from an old blog i had about Zack. It's the funniest way to realize a truth about love... that love is a matter of acceptance and therefore a choice.

from a lever commercial in 2005-
"part 422 may not be perfect to you but for her it is just right"

Strange thing is i remember the first time I saw the commercial and how I immediately thought of him and how perfect he was to my blinded eyes. I remember thinking they'd hit something on the head(not that i changed soaps or anything but still good point being made). No matter how imperfect you feel about yourself, there's someone loving you thinking the world of you. Love is not always passion but it is always passionate and strong. It is a gift you can give freely. It is something that grows by being given away. I may not know you personally but i can still love you as a person. I can love my parents differently than my children and then love a man in a completely different way. Love has no real definition greater than the level of acceptance you have for the person you are loving (in this case part 422 being perfect in your eyes but not his). Love is something you can fall into fall out of but it is not something you can be without. All people need it- not want it- need it. So tonight i have reviewed love of mine for of an ex-lover, the love of my mother for her children, and the love of a friend for me. It has all brought me to this insane posting at 2 am to say one thing: WORLD- I love you just as you are with full acceptance with an attempt at no judgement but with the compassion of a close friend. And you know what? It makes me love me a little bit more.

why this is here- a welcome letter

Dear Reader,

Tonight i sat down and actually caught up on my mom's new blog. While in honesty I did not respond to most of the posts i felt i should have, I was however reminded once again that I am out of touch with myself and many other things i feel are important(like i got reminded just how much my mother loves me)... So for a while this blog will simply be things pulled from other blogs with random moments of truths or major questions that hit me as i explore deeper into myself. I ask you to comment on anything that seems weird or you question, also anything that tickles you or you agree with.

I have in the past started blogs that shortly after had no purpose b/c i felt they were too impersonal and an occasional way to personal or time consuming. This blog is here simply so others can maybe learn something from all the lessons I've been through. I think there are many truths in life we learn more than once for many different reasons. I am young but feel certain wisdom comes through experience not through age. I hope you can set that aside and grow with me. Welcome to the new journey/blog.

I leave you with this quote:
"Though no-one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending." -unknown

Be Blessed-
