Real love.

September 4, 2020

Hi everyone!

It's been awhile since I've written anything, so I wanted to share a lil something today!

I've been exceptionally happy these past 2 months, and I think I might've met the most amazing person in the whole wide world. I know it sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm honestly smiling way too much and having too much fun to even contemplate otherwise.

I watched 500 Days of Summer last night and being the hopeless romantic that I am, I got really frustrated at the way Summer was behaving. She was pretty much stringing Tom along for some temporary fun and pleasure, and to me at least, that's an extremely selfish and self-centred thing to do. It's probably because I can never bear to use someone that way, even more so if I know that they love me or have already fallen in love with me. I care too much about people to knowingly hurt them for my own emotional gain. I guess I have a conscience (?)

But what Summer said at the end though - despite her initial belief that true love doesn't exist - really resonated with me. Love will hit you in the most uncanny of ways and almost always when you least expect it. No matter what you've been led to believe growing up, when you meet someone who makes you feel so sure of everything that you've been so unsure of before, you'll just know it — Love exists.

It won't have to be forced. You don't have to be censored. You won't have to be cautious.

You can jump in headfirst and know that you will always, always be caught.

Now that's real love.
