You look at someone and are just filled with a blissful aching of unconditional love for him, or you see him do some random thing or look a certain way, and you think to yourself, “Man, I love you so much!” Or, perhaps you’re taking a walk outside and suddenly feel a deep connection with and wonder of everything in the world around you. Do you ever have these moments of pure, unbridled intensity?
These moments used to happen merely occasionally for me, but ever since I fell in love with Marshall, these moments occur daily. Each and every day I find something new to love about Marshall, and this in turn makes the whole world even lovelier. There’s something about love that completely changes a person’s perspective and potentially a person’s whole identity. The world takes a much more cheerful and beautiful sheen, and things that seemed unremarkable before falling love now have become absolutely stunning. Instead of viewing the world pessimistically, this person begins to unfold a world of optimism.
A person in love is a person of constant, beautiful change. By becoming very close to another person and learning all about that person’s skills, flaws, quirks, beliefs, and values, you begin to compare and contrast yourself with your lover, and you reconsider your own beliefs and values. I think that this is a wonderful, amazing process…and essential. I believe that in order to truly know yourself and what you believe in, you have to love another person with skills, flaws, quirks, beliefs, and values that are different from yours.
We can learn so much from one another. No two people are the same, and no one has all of the answers. Truly there is no right or wrong but only that in which the majority of us agrees to be right or wrong. By getting to know, respect, and love a person for everything that he or she is, I believe we are able to get closer to a collective, divine Truth. For love is the truest Truth of all.
