About Love, More About Love


Blogger's Challenge #6 "Free Style"

“Glitter” that’s what I told myself when I walked into Disney’s store. My little sister had to buy a princess costumes for her school.  She lost herself when she walked in there and to be true I lost myself in there and forgot about the ticking clock. The glittery princesses’ dresses made me go blind, the chandeliers that had Mickey Mouse all over them made me smile just like the eight years old me when Mickey Mouse cartoons came on TV. The place was magical like Disney’s characters, I went through the glittery dresses to the stuffed dolls to the toys side and then a voice interrupted my imagination “Hello young lady, I hope you had a good day and I hope you enjoy your time here.” I didn’t say anything, I just smiled and nodded, and I didn’t speak because the salesperson surprised me too! She looked like the fairy godmother in Cinderella and she had the same voice and smile, mesmerizing isn’t it?

After spending an hour at that store we decided to end our temporary fantasy, I didn’t want to walk out of a place that was filled with happiness and magic to a place that was filled with disappointments and sadness, at least that’s what I thought when I was at that place. At the end I left that magical place and left the eight years old kid side of me there.

I came back home and that gloomy feeling knocked my door and walked in without waiting for my approval but this time it didn’t last for so long cause when I checked my phone I saw a text saying “Smile :D” and it’s hard not to smile when you get such a sweet command but that’s not the main reason that made me smile, I smiled because that person showed me that there is still “Good” out there. And just like every time I wondered. What did I do to deserve good people in my life? All I thought of is that lately I’ve been selfish, thinking about the people who ignore me and shut me out. Then I asked myself what did I do to have hurtful people in my life? And that made me sad cause I don’t remember the good people unless they remind me of themselves.
…..

After all what happened that day, I want to ask you, what is love? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Did you find a satisfying answer? I found it and I’d like to share it with you because I’d love to see you all fall in love and be happy.

Love is when you wake up knowing that there’s someone who’s looking forward to see your smile. Love is when you see your mother’s smile, when you hear your father’s laughter. Love is when you argue with your siblings over a seat but then you let them take your seat cause that’s how much you love them. Love is when you have the weirdest conversation with your best friend but still you manage to understand each other. Love is when your mentor/teacher forces you to work hard because they want to point at you and say, “That’s my student.” Love is when a stranger asks you to have a good day because they want everyone around the world to be happy. Love is when you sneak out of your bed at night, sit in the corner and start talking to god cause you know that he never sleeps and he’ll always be there for you. Love is when you send love to everyone because everyone deserves to be loved.

Love is oxygen, the feeling that make us look for a better tomorrow, it’s the feeling that save us from the dark shadows of sadness, it’s the feeling that pull us out of the deepest ocean of hopelessness, it’s the feeling that made our hearts beat on the first place. We are love, made out of love, from a loving god and living in a lovely world. Appreciate it, send love and feel love cause you deserve it.

"Give the love around and back around it goes"



Hope and Love,
