'In the name of love, all you need is love.'
-Moulin Rouge (:
Today I spoke to Tien Li, and she said we don't need love to live, as long as our hearts keep beating. But I disagreed. Yes, I've been touching and retouching on this topic ever since forever, but it is only because love is all you need in the world. I doubt I'll ever stop talking about love, so watch out anyway.
Love. A simple four letter word that carries me through miles and miles, and miles - through vast fields and oceans, to where my heart belongs; to where the sun shines brightly and fills my heart with warmth; where the warmth will fill the gaps of uneasiness; where the uneasiness will all fade away, and disappear into the breeze, to be blown away.
Life without love, is nothing but an empty shell. An empty shell that can easily be blown away by the wind, with nothing to hold them down, to whisper that this is where they belong when they feel out of place. I want to be that whisper. I want to tell people that they belong, because they do. They belong in my world, someplace in my heart, because I take each and every one of them inside of me, even when I don't show it.
We can live without love, but we can't feel happy without love. Love warmths the heart, fills the being, and lightens the sense. It is that whisper that tells us that we belong, and lifts us up in times of despair and disappointment. The whisper that gives us happiness, and putting smiles on people's faces. Love comes with its consequences, yes, but that fuzzy feeling you get in when love comes into contact with you is enough to prove its worth.
Spread the love. No matter where you put it, in special occasions or in everyday life, it is enough to keep someone going. A little bit of love goes a long way, even if you don't know it. But you must be sincere. You can give someone words of encouragement, but if you don't mean it, there's no point in saying it. Sincerity can work wonders, it definitely means a lot of difference.
I wonder how some people can live without love. These people must be perfect, because without love, life magnifies all the imperfections and inadequacies you have, and make them seem a thousand times worse than it really is.
Yet when it comes to love, all I have to say is this; treasure it. Because you never know when love leaves you, where you will be helpless and miserable, out of place and imperfect.
'I hope you don't mind that I put down in words; how wonderful life is, now you're in the world.'
