the greatest thing we'll ever learn is just... to love, and be loved in return

Love is the thing that will break or take us. It is the greatest and most fear instilling power to captivate. I must say I dont understand the way that it works. too many times I have thought that I knew what it was. I thought that someone loved me once. but I have come to realize that she can not. that I am not capible of reciving such an awe inspiring power. In a way it is liberating to know that I am not bound by the obligations that go along with love and commitment but. what I wouldnt give to be so obligated if only someone would recipicate those feelings to me. I fear perhaps that I am not capable of love.

blah blah blah, you are TOO capable of love. everyone in the world is capable. What I've learned is the finding the someone to love is the part that holds us back and makes us think this way. One of the reasons I chose to go on a mission is, yes the typical sister missionary reason. 21 and not married. That was a VERY SMALL reason on a huge list of other reasons why I'm going. I have not found anyone who I could give my heart to and be serious and commit, so why not better myself and others by the mission. I don't know if this helps at all, but it's what comes to mind when I'm thinking about this subject. Kind of Random. Oh well.

Never say that. Love is possible and achievable for anyone and everyone.

Its wonderful and beautiful, and yes it hurts when its taken away, but that is life. :)

I wouldn't trade it for anything
