Love. What a fitting topic :)
This week in class we studied love and all the different types of love out there. There is charity, the pure love of Christ, the love we feel for family, the love we feel for close friends and the romantic love we feel for that special someone.
What I am going to share today is not what we discussed in class but a discussion I had after class.
We were talking about dating and this girl in my class made an incredible observation. She stated that everyone is walking around all searching for the same thing but no one ever says anything. Love is too scary to talk about, yet everyone wants to be loved. Why do we do this? Are we afraid of rejection? Failure? Or are we afraid that it might actually work out. Sometimes we can be so afraid of love that we don't even give it a chance. We judge someone right away assuming they are too good for us, or not good enough. Why don't we just give them a chance? Human relationships are an essential part of life. If we don't risk it we may never get the biscuit. Be honest, give people a chance, and just HAVE FUN. Be bold and courageous in love. Yes, you risk getting hurt if you put your feelings out there, but if you don't you risk missing out on a lot more.
