Love
As we have sprung forward at the beginning of March.
I have been reflecting on the word love and its definition of the word.
The definition of the word love is an intense feeling of deep affection.
The season brings out that and then some.
But despite the definition do we understand how to love?
A friend and I had a conversation about this and how during our lives we've been searching for love.
I mean the love you are supposed o feel according to the movies, the toes curling love. and yet we are now in our 50s and have still experienced that type of love.
I have spent the last three years trying to accept and love myself with all my faults.
I am not perfect nor have I ever thought I was perfect, in my head I created a love that was perfect with the husband and the white picket fence.
And it has yet to happen for me and a few others I know.
Love doesn't judge or criticize you for just being who you are.
Love doesn't go away or stop because a person isn't feeling you.
Love is unconditional and can bring you unmatched joy.
The best part is love is forever and lasting when it comes from a place of pure and unwavering.
Spring has sprung and with that knowledge, this love will find you, and when it does be prepared to receive a gift of the greatest joy.
Live, love, laugh

this title was of a poem I wrote two years ago.
This skin I'm in has been battered and bruised and yet I am still here.
this skin I'm in has been lied to and lied on and I have overcome more than most will ever go through. this skin I'm in has been beaten up and tossed aside by those who claimed to love me. and I keep moving forward because why keep living in the past when there is so much more I have yet to do in this skin I'm in? this skin I'm in has yet to find true love but I have not stopped believing in it or that it can happen to the best of us, we have to know it when we finally receive it. this skin I'm in has been able to love herself again without having to pretend to be something or someone she's not to be accepted by others.
this skin I'm in has covered me through loss, doubt, pain, and mistrust.
this skin I'm in has learned that despite all I've been through I am more than what people think of me, I am loved no matter what I've told myself in the past.
this skin I'm in is mine and I will continue to love her protect her and cherish her when the rest of the world won't. knowing who I am skin and flesh has been the greatest gift that the Creator of heaven and earth could have ever given me, and I am blessed to love this skin I'm in.
