Love

Love. A feeling that most do not even attempt to understand, a word that is overused, an overall emotion that has lost it's true meaning. So what is love?

To love, is to follow your heart. As simple as that, yet so hard to do. We get lost in our minds so often and we forget to think of our hearts. We get so bottled up in what society thinks, what we worry about and fear, the material things that drive us. We are not meant to be driven by our minds, to let it do all our thinking and tell us what to do next. Our mind is just there to fall back on when we truly need help, not something that controls us and makes us do things we didn't really want to do.

Our heart is where our true identity lives. Where our real selves are living, where our true desires live. So why don't we listen to our hearts more? Why do we let our minds take over?

Every day, we need to remember the things we love, we need to ignore our minds and think, "What truly makes me happy?" and live by that. Don't listen to your mind when its trying to make you second guess, it's your heart who really knows you.

It's easy to get caught up in our minds. Little fears of the future, past, even present scare us and we forget to follow the heart and we live a little more miserably than we have to. Just focus on the love we have and everything else will fall into place.
