Life, love, and happiness change

Over the years, I have come to realize more than ever that life changes. The plans...goals...hopes for your future may come to an abrupt hault at any given moment. It is in those life altering moments that we find the truth. The truth is...love changes.

Love can take the shape of many things. Love is in the little things that we choose to call our favorites. Love is in the passion we have for our own life and the things that fill it. Love is in the people we call our friends, and it is even in those that we once called our friends. Love is the essence of every good relationship that may or may not turn out the way we hoped for. Love is never giving up on that feeling. Love is that weak-in-the-knees, he makes my heart melt, I can't help but fall head-over-heels, "I never want to let you go" feeling. However, in the end...it is so much more than a feeling. Love is the decision to keep fighting even when they break your heart. Love is the want to go on with your life together because it is better than the one you possess on your own. Love is letting go of your past, who you were, who you loved before, and letting them in. Love, though ever-changing, never fails.

Happiness, however, is conditional. I pray that the happiness that one simple action ignited in my life a long time ago never slips away. The actions that bring happiness may come and go, but the light in my life prevails. I wish happiness on those around me...those that have impacted my life. I wish true, unconditional love for those I love. I pray for the eternal life that sustains all. Let's face it...everything has a season. Today is my season to reflect. I hope the life, love, and happiness that is in my life is evident to you.
