Hope For Love

I'm an extremely caring person that goes out of my way to do special things for the people I know, and I take pride in it. I send birthday cards to people that I haven't talked to in months just because I still remember that it's their birthday and I know it will probably make them smile. I send people mixed CDs, some personalized just for that person, others I send in bulk, but still, I do it because I know people like it, and I like people. I love people.

Today at Church, my friend Sara Lee (yes, like the bread company, but without the "h") gave a talk on charity and love. She talked about different kinds of love, three different kinds to be exact. I only remember two, and they were this:

Loving someone "because..." and loving someone "even though...". I really liked thinking about the two and how they can work hand in hand, but there are differences.

I feel like I love people "even though..." for the most part. Even though they stopped trying to keep in contact after I moved out of the state. Even though we never hang out anymore. Even though you can be kind of annoying at times. I love you.

Love is kind of an intense word. I think it's thrown around a lot without much meaning, and I personally don't say it unless I truly mean it, whether it be to a friend or a family member or whatever. Love is powerful. But it's also happiness, and I hope that everybody can find some love in their own lives at some point.

I hope for love.

Later days.

facts:

one . My favorite time to bake is in the middle of the night when everything is quite and the world is asleep.

two . One of my favorite things to look at is the sky, day or night, clouds or clear blue. It's always beautiful in some way.
