When I was a kid I believed people fell in love out of necessity. It seemed that it was impossible to live for a long period without it. I'd seen people destroyed over it, depressed, lost, and broken. There is a million words to describe a heart that feels no love. I used to believe that love was like eating or breathing. I realize now how wrong I was. Love is not easy. Love is not hard. Love is love. It is a four letter word. I have experienced it only once. I know that sometimes letting go of love is more refreshing than holding onto it. As humans we get lost in the notion that to be loved is to be needed. The reality is that love in itself is not needed. Most of the time, pulling yourself up can be as easy as breathing in and out.
