What is Love and what do we want in Life?????

It takes a lot to know what is love. It's not the big things but the little things that can mean enough. I’ve met a man long time ago and fallen in love with him. I allowed myself to fall in love for one simple reason: I didnt expect anything to come out of it. I kinda always knew we were not meant to be and in few months time, I’ll be far away and he’ll be just a memory, but I couldn’t stand living without love any longer, I had reached my limit… Im learning that not everyone is meant to love us the way want to be loved, not everyone is meant to understand us, approve of us, or join us on our journeys, not everybody can go where we are going. If we are desperate, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life our universe changes directions. We give up so much to become the person we think we want to be, but do we ever really become that person? Do we ever really get the life that we want? Or is life just one big journey, where we constantly sacrifice and muddle through in the hopes of eventually getting somewhere that looks (and feels) pretty good? I think that it's both: eventually we get there, but it usually doesn't look like we thought it would. And then there are always those paths that we take that lead our life in an totally new direction, totally losing our sense of who we are and what we think we can be. But then again, that's life too, and part of what makes it worthwhile as well as i always say live love laugh and be happy and u will be loved forever..... xxx R.
