Changing Love

We have a hard time correctly identifying love. Love in the sense of undying, unconditional, forever and always, life completing love. It's an overused word in the first place so it's lost meaning. We "love" pizza or we "love" a TV show or even "love" a celebrity. But im not talking about temporary, superficial like or even infatuation. Im talking LOVE. The kind you marry for. The kind in story books and Disney movies. I think we have this picture perfect idea of what "true love" should feel like. Like it always has to be at first sight, earth shaking, breath taking love. And maybe it is. But then again maybe its not. Part of the problem is that we expect every love to feel the same so when it's different, we don't always recognize it. I believe it's absolutely possible to love more than one person. Maybe you fall in love and then fall out then some time later, you fall angina forever. The thing is, you have to understand that those loves aren't going to feel the same. At the same time, even if you only ever love one person in your life, your love isn't going to be the same as someone else's. Your falling in love experience is exactly that, its YOURS. No one can tell you how its supposed to work or what time frame it should fit or the words you need to say. One might be fairy tale, princess and castles and birds singing and helping you with housework. But the other could be butterflies 24/7 and confusion but stone cold devotion through every trial. Love isn't a cookie cutter. It's not the same. We have to be open to letting it change and feel different in the wake of heartbreak if we are to have hope of loving again.
