I learned something today.
I learned that home isn't where you live, it's when you're with the people you love.
I learned that the most beautiful people can be the most ordinary looking and that you can see a person's heart through their eyes.
I learned that you can break many times without dying and that you can go on long enough after you think you can't.
I learned that courage is the opposite of fear and that peace is something you create rather than discover.
I learned that if you have never felt death before, then you can never fully appreciate what life feels like, and that you can exist for an entire lifetime without ever truly living, just like you can kill yourself without actually dying.
I learned that life is a precious and fragile gift, and that it takes more courage to live than to die.
I learned that sometimes it takes more strength to hold on, but sometimes it takes more strength to let go. And scars may never leave and we may always carry with us every place we've been and every face we've seen, but they are also there to remind us of how far we've come.
I learned that you don't necessarily need the help of other people and that you CAN do everything yourself if you believe you're strong enough, but that's a lonely way to live life, and in the end it takes a stronger person to reach out than to keep pushing away.
I learned that love isn't so much about need or about the way another person makes you feel about yourself, although that may be part of it. But true love is not about yourself at all, it's about that other person: knowing them completely and seeing them in a way no one else does; realizing their strengths AND their weaknesses but seeing only beauty; transforming imperfect pieces into a perfect whole.
I learned that love is wanting the world for that person and trying to make all their dreams come true, wanting to kiss all their pain away and replace it with only joy.
I learned that true ecstasy is found in the smile of your lover as you bare bodies...and souls...and join together so for a few moments in time, two hearts may beat as one.
And after all this soul searching, I learned that happiness isn't something you find within yourself after all, nor can it be found in any person, place or thing, but it arises spontaneously when you give love away.
And so I learned how to give love away.
