For years I had a miss perception of love, when I was young I was told that I will cry one day about a boy …I never believed it because in my eyes my dad was my world and the only one I would ever love. Love is something we can’t live without ,most people try and hide the fact that love exist in many factors not just in a significant other.

Most people takes love for granted, when one day you lose someone you will sit back and wish maybe I needed to be more kind, loving and forgiving. You never know what you had until its gone. The word love doesn’t come easy but in my generation “I love you”, do not mean I love you, anymore. By that I mean people don’t know the true meaning and difference between love and attention. The sentence I love you gets thrown around like a ball, hoping someone or something will catch it so it can satisfy one’s needs.

That’s not love , and for years I thought love is about giving and receiving not much more, just tell the person you love them, make them food give them kids and grow old together…no.

A relationship needs to be build on deep alignments and values, character and morals not just LOVE, APPEARANCE, HOBBIES and STATUS. Love is when you will not only die for someone but also live for them; it’s about commitment, hard work, fights and working through the fights trying to solve the problem together. Sometimes love sounds like, “Did you eat?”, “Call me when you get home”, “Are you safe?” and “Drive safe” ECT.

Love is a drug that most people overdose on because their perspective of love is wrong. Love is not just a word or sentence that can be used to fulfill yourself; it comes with a much greater responsibility.
