"The Concept of Love" by Dylan Burke

The Concept of Love 

Love is a beautiful thing that you can only find so little times in your life. Whether it is significant others, family, or friends, love is the idea of truly accepting and valuing them for who they are. We meet so many different people in our lives, who all have different goals, are raised differently, or are just completely different people. What is beautiful about love is that we can love people who are exactly like us or the opposite of us. Love can be whatever we want it to be.  

When looking at a family, there are times when they all love each other, but that is not all the time. Just because we were raised by others does not guarantee that they will love them. Being able to love someone takes time and energy, but so does falling out of love with someone. When we think that we fell for somebody so quickly, it can happen just as fast the other way.  

The best thing about love is about accepting someone for who they are and not looking to change them. When we really value several things about somebody, that is what can draw us to love them. Even when we value certain things, there may be things that we do not like. But love isn’t about changing those things that we don’t like. Love is when we see the imperfections that somebody has and choose to accept them for who they are regardless. 

Many people, such as myself, are not just searching for a partner right now, they are looking to find their future wife. When you are future looking, you don’t just look to value the person for who they are now, but evaluating them for who they are, what they want in their future, and trying to see if they align with you. It is almost as if we are building a puzzle that is our future lives, and our significant other is our missing piece. Even if you find somebody who would be the perfect match for who you want as a wife and who you want as a future mother for your kids, you also need to make sure that you enjoy the present as well. It is great to be future looking, but you need to value the time you have and spend with them now. 

When you are with somebody you love, you can be your full self without judgment. When you have a million problems going on, all it takes is a hug from a person you love to calm you down. A person that you love has so much power and influence over you, so you need to choose who you love carefully. But the beautiful thing about love, is you choose who you want to love, which can be anybody. 

Love is kind, love is patient, and love can be whatever you want it to be. With so many emotions that we can feel in a day, love will always be the strongest and most impactful. Be careful with who you love and how you treat them because those are the people who will always matter the most in our lives. Love is the most beautiful thing that we can experience.
