My Writing

The consequences of love are varied; they hold counterparts and are shaped by the people involved. You have to deal with consequences though to recieve the benefits. It's stupid, really. We grow up thinking that love is this wonderful sensation, almost an extreme, if you will. We foolishly believe that love can conquer all things, and as we begin to grow, we realize that sometimes it cannot. But we still believe in it, because we cannot imagine a life without it.

The trouble with love is that it makes things complicated, and has a way of striking chords that you didn't know you could play. As you begin trying to adjust to these chords, at first you are awkward in them, but then something happens, and they seem just as natural as if you've been playing songs of them your entire life. And then you grow to love it, love, that is. Then you can't imagine your life without those chords in your songs. Once you have fully adjusted to it, life will take that love that you have learned and try to take it away. But just because life won't allow you to play those chords anymore doesn't mean that you've forgotten how to play them or how it felt when you knew them so well that you could play them with your eyes closed. And then life isn't fair. And it's not.

The reason that people fall in love is not the beginning or the end, but the process getting from the one to the other. People learn they could do things that they never thought possible, and they are better from it. They think that all the world needs is love, for they are blind. How can you blame them? It is something we all want, whether we admit it or not. And we strive for it, yearn for it, and grow from the experience that encircles us in our quest. It is the process that lets us know exactly what love is.

Then the two people involved would do anything for each other, because their lives are intertwined. One person's sorrow is the other person's. Their happiness is their partner's happiness. Intertwined into each other's lives, but really much more than that. They are in love, madly so. Seemingly, it can never end, and maybe it never will. It is up to the two people involved, for they make their love what it is.
