sometimes i think it's really that simple...love that is. a lot of people would argue this statement and i think at times even i would, but there are certain aspects of love and relationships that are just as easy as yes or no, black and white. i mean, you either care about someone or you don't. you either feel a certain way about someone or you don't. those are the simple parts. what's hard is that we complicate things...by hurting each other, by failing to be honest and compassionate. we complicate it with our impatience and our insecurities. i've spent most of all of my time since i've been home loving, or more accurately, trying to love everyone around me. and i've come to a conclusion: we make it very hard for ourselves to love, even to love those we care about the most and especially those we don't particularly care for. so this is my new years resolution: to try to love at all times. and even when i know i'm failing at that, to keep trying. because it's not about how good you are at loving those around you, it's about trying. because as long as you're trying, you care. effort and persistence is love.
happy new year everyone, may i continue to try and may you hopefully feel my efforts and translate that into love.
