LOVE

Love is ....

A lot of things. lol  Never pass up a chance to fall.  Even if you know you're going to get hurt.  Even if he's bad for you.   Fall for a week, a day, a month, a year, a lifetime.  Fall hard, fall soft.

Sometimes, falling is like toppling off a cliff.  Sometimes its like falling into a pile of feathers.  At times it will hit you like a mack truck, or  like bubbles blown by a child.

Every time you fall, do it with all your heart.  Fall with every part of you, hold nothing back.  Even if you get hurt, you learned a lesson and there will be another chance at love - but you have to allow yourself that chance.  Keep your heart open at all times.  Dont pass up a chance to love someone, even if they arent your "type".  THAT one may end up the ONE love of your life.  

Color outside the lines of your heart.  Use the BIG box of crayons. The one with gold, silver, forest green, midnight blue.  Use that box.  Use the weird colors.  The ones that spend years staying sharp while the others get ground down.  

When you feel yourself falling? JUMP!  Jump hard.  Slam right into love.  Dont be afraid.  Believe me, he/she is scared too. They have been hurt too.  They have been treated badly at least once, just.like.you.

And?  Love yourself.  Get naked. Yes, naked.  Full length mirror.  Dont shave.  Dont put on makeup or whatever it is that makes you 'feel' good.  Look at yourself and remember all the things you like. Your eyes?  Your little toe?  Whatever it is.  Look. and Love yourself.  Even if you have to go back to when you were a little boy or girl and loved yourself more than anyone in the world...do it and remember what it feels like to fall in love with the most important person. YOU.
