FEBRUARIUM DAY 5
Better late than never, right?
Day Five, February 14: Why you love.
Answer this question. "Why do you love?"
This is probably the hardest one of the questions to answer.
Why do I love, when there is such an infinte potential to be disappointed or to get my heart broken or to realize that I've loved for all the wrong reasons?
In order to answer that question, wouldn't I first have to know the definition of love? I think that's what we spend our lives trying to figure out- who is going to love us, what is going to make us feel love(d), when are we going feel love, where will we feel love? But why?
I guess what it comes down to is that I love because I hope in some way to connect to those around me, to make this experience of life a little easier, a little less disconnected.
I love because it makes me feel so good to love, in all ways. Sure, love can hurt, too, but if you're constantly getting hurt by it, then maybe it's not exactly 'love'.
I love, honestly, in part, because I want to be loved. We all do. We need it in order to survive.
I love because the thought of not loving scares me more than anything else.
