The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return

I tend to think alot, about almost everything. I am one of those people that has many tabs open at once in my mind, constantly thinking about different things throughout the day. This week, one of those tabs was all about love.
When I say love, I am not merely referring to the romantic type; but more the essence of the word. I believe that we’re all made of love, come from love and return back to love and that this journey here on earth is about openning our hearts so that we’re constantly in a state of love.

Love is an amazing feeling and yet one that we get used to very easily, or don’t appreciate until it’s gone. The best thing about love is that it’s all around us, it’s in the eyes of a mother when she looks at her child, it’s present between two friends who make each other laugh but don’t often enough express their love for each other, it’s there between young couples and even old ones too. But if you look closely, it’s also existent in the trees which stand tall to grant shade and shelter for other beings, it’s in the sun for keeping the earth warm and bright and it’s in the way birds sing or dogs bark; yet we rarely notice these types of love. Most importantly love is there for yourself and everything that you are; although sometimes this love seems impossible to find. But it is there, you just need to stop and feel it. I can write about that all day; but in this blog I want to focus on the power of love for another person.

In my life I have crossed paths with many types of people; some good and some bad and a handful that have truly left a life long impact on me. What I have learnt is that loving people isn’t enough to keep them there. That is everybody has a path that they need to follow in their lives and as a result they may be steered away from yours. This isn’t always a bad thing and it doesn’t mean that the love or friendship ends; it just means that they may not be there physically everyday like they used to. 

In my life I have been taken away from those I love and cherish too many times. That’s a really hard thing to deal with because I am always missing people. It’s hard knowing that your time with these precious jewels is timed and that the dynamics of the relationship can change depending on what it is that tomorrow has in store for you. This is the thought that overwhelmed me whilst I was on the bus coming home from work a couple of days ago. I became overwhelmed by how powerful love is and how much I miss those I love. I couldn’t help but shed some tears; not because I was upset, but because I was so overwhelmed by the amount of love I was feeling for those that were away from me.

I know that these days with technology it’s easy to stay in touch but for me somehow that isn’t enough. I want to hug my loved ones and hear about their day, I want to laugh with them at something random and silly that happened, I miss having food with them and talking about everything and anything, I want to be there for them when they get angry or scared and have ice cream with them in front of the TV. I miss there presence and making memories with them; and that can’t be conveyed or felt over the phone or through any sort of technology. 

Whilst thinking of those that I miss, I came to realise that those that I still have around me may soon move onto the next chapter of their lives and as such the dynamics of everyday life will yet again change. Where technology will be the only form of contact connecting us to each other in what we now call our busy lives. I don’t want to sound gloomy, don’t get me wrong. I consider myself blessed and lucky to have so many beautiful souls in my life. It’s just when I love someone whether it be a friend, a partner, family or pets; they become a part of me and so when they are away, I feel like as though there are pieces of me that are missing. 

I am sure that this is the case for everyone whos felt love in their life. I wonder whether or not everyone or anyone feels overwhelmed by the power of love as well? 

I suppose the most important reminder is that it’s better to have crossed paths with beautiful souls and felt the power of love than to have gone through life not knowing how truly amazing and overwhelming love can be. 

I still have the tab open in my mind and I don’t think I will be closing it anytime soon, but rather than focussing on how much I miss people I am going to try and focus on how much more love I have to give. 

I truly hope one day soon I will be able to hug each and every one of my loved ones tight and create more memories with them. 

Love Always,

Miss Dreamer
