Some people are asking me if I still believe in love despite everything that happened the past months. Well, yes, I still do. I still believe in its magic--how it can change people for the better or..worse. I still believe that it exists even for people like me--those who have loved and lost. I believe that there is love in everyone, even for those who don't deserve it.

I still believe in love, but in a different way. I used to define love by hugs, kisses, sweet gestures, flowers, chocolates and the like. Yes, they are love but not quite, because they are just ways of showing love, but aren't love itself. Love is such a big word for four letters, therefore, those things cannot really truly define what love is.

They say that for most people, love is defined when they are IN love with someone. I used to be one of those people. Don't get me wrong though. I love the feeling of being in love with someone and being loved back. And even up to now, I'm still in love with love.

But what really is love? Don't look at me. I'm still figuring that one out. ;) I can't exactly define it with words. But, I see it and I can feel it too, everyday. We all know that love exists in everything. But, it's not enough to just know it, you have to see and feel it. It exists in every relationship. It doesn't have to be mutual, but it would be better if it is.

I know that you know what I'm talking about. Of course, you're human. You should feel it, even if it's not with a special someone. If you're young, you have all the time in the world for that. If you're not, well, maybe you didn't notice and you let it pass, or maybe, if you're lucky, it's still out there looking for you, or maybe he/she is just outside your door. All you have to do is open it. ;)

Love exists even in the eyes of your enemy. It is present in the arms of your family, in the hands of your friends and in the heart of the one you love. -EU

It's ironic that we know it exists. We see it and we can feel it. We even know how to show it. We know when it's there and we know when it's gone. And yet, we can't define it. But, maybe it's supposed to be that way. It's the biggest mystery of life, just like God. We can't see Him but we know He's there. And just like love, we can't define Him. We also do things for Him without knowing who He really is.

If God is love, then there's no such thing as lost. Even if you lose the one you love, you'll find a way to get it back somehow, someday. It may not be the same person, but you will, eventually. You just have to open your eyes to reality. I believe that romantic love is just 25% of the love of your life. 25% is/should be from yourself, another 25 from your family and the remaining 25% is from your friends.

I'm not saying I'm right, though. It's just my perspective. My statistics may not be right, but I know that it applies to everyone. Those kinds of love will be experienced by all of us. It may not be all at the same time, but it will happen. A good friend of mine told me that true love happens when you can't ask for more. So, wait for it to happen, because it will and it will be worth the wait. In the meantime, love what you have more than what you don't. :)

As for me, I'm still waiting because I believe that it will come. I still believe in love, and I always will. And right now, even if I don't have someone who would give me the drive to go on everyday, and the inspiration and motivation to do what I have to do, I know that love itself is enough to help me make it through each day. And with the love from my family and friends, I know I can and I will be the person that I was meant to be. :)

Losing is not a bad thing either, because if you do, keep in mind that you lost because there are other, maybe even greater things out there to find you. Yes, love can break you, but it is also what can build you again. Just let it be. Love will find its way. It always do. :)
