Epiphany

I just had one. And it was so strong that I couldn't wait to share it with everyone. As much as I have experienced and thought I understood love, I, as of about ten minutes ago, just figured out what it means to love someone. I mean REALLY figured out what it is to REALLY love someone. It goes so much further than just a feeling, or an emotion that is inside you. When you love someone, it means that you will do anything for that person. You will do whatever you can do to make them as happy as possible, even if it is not beneficial to you. Love is a selfless act, or at least the true form of love is. You feel so deeply for a person that you can't imagine doing something to them that will cause them any amount of pain or unhappiness. You always put that person's needs ahead of your own, and you are always willing to sacrifice for that person. If you truly love someone, you will always feel like you aren't doing enough for them, and that there is always something more that you could be doing to make them happy. Love is a strong attachment or devotion to someone. It means that you are dedicated to a person, for better or for worse, and that there is no force on the earth that can break that attachment. Wow. We should all be so lucky to experience this feeling in our lives, and to know what it's like to willingly sacrifice something that is important to you or something that you really want to do because you care so much about a person. So here's to love, the most unselfish feeling that you will ever know.
