Love

Since we were discussing the topic of love the week before mid-winter recess, I decided to take a love quote and discuss it.

"Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you."

-Loretta Young

Love is similar to fate. You cannot expect it to happen at a given moment. You must be patient and wait for it. Love works in mysterious ways. I feel that people try too hard to find the right person. Sometimes, that doesn't work out too well. I feel that you have to be in the right place at the right time. Again, as you can see, love is similar to fate. You could just be going about your normal life routine when someone enters your life for the first time and rocks your world. This is the way that love finds you. It'll find everyone with time. I believe there is someone for everyone in the world, it just takes time. For example, I know a couple who's meeting was completely fate-driven, in my eyes. The girl was supposed to move to Florida when she was just three years old. A business deal fell through at the very last minute and her and her family were forced to stay on Long Island. A couple of years went by and her and her family eventually moved out to Manorville, a town that the girl has never heard of before. She spent years and years here living her life. One day, she met a guy that completely changed her life in the early years of high school. The two of them talked and became friends, but dated other people. But, they decided to see a movie with each other months after their first meeting and realized that they loved each other. Now, the two of them have been together ever since.

If you're curious who the girl is in the example, it's me. I never knew I'd meet my boyfriend when I did, and I especially never thought I'd be still with him, over three years later. As I said before, love works in mysterious ways, and it'll find you when you least expect it.
