We, as humans, love love. And it's not necessarily being "in love"; it's being loved. It's why faces light up when your dog greets you at the door. It's the reason my dad instinctively squeezes the shoulder of his family members nearby when he's nervous. It's why people are constantly texting or Facebook messaging (or even blogging), reaching out to someone that loves or cares about them.
Unfortunately, I think this addiction to love often gets us in trouble. We settle for relationships with the wrong people because we believe they love us and may be the only ones who ever will. Or we break off a great relationship because the love is no longer enough to satisfy the addiction. Some of us turn to harmful activities to fill the void of love we don't believe we have.
Yes, love is wonderful. But it is also destructive. This is a very short post but it's something that's been on my mind lately and something I know a lot of my friends and family are dealing with right now in one way or another. So here's my message for the day: Someone loves you. You may think you have "no friends" or that "no one will ever love you" but it's just flat out untrue. So relax. Smile. And have a lovely day ;)
