“Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky before the sun came out. You cannot touch the clouds, you know; but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you can feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. Without love you would not be happy or want to play (Keller).”
When someone is not loved or doesn't feel loved, you can tell. You can see it in their personality, the way they carry themselves, and the way they treat others. Someone who is loved and knows they are loved is more likely to treat others kindly and take better care of themselves.
It's true that you cannot touch love, but when it is or is not present, you can tell. No one is happy without love. I can tell you that your day goes much smoother and you feel better when you feel the love. I don't like to spend time with people that aren't lovely. I do want to show them love, but it drags you down if you spend too much time with them.
When people don't show love to me I feel like just another number in the world. When I'm with someone I want them to listen, to encourage, to have a conversation, be it meaningful or silly (I have a lot more silly ones then serious ones, but they are the spice of life!) I can go from serious to silly and right back again with some of my friends. I want others to feel loved when they're around me.
“Love’s not a fight, but it’s something worth fighting for”
That song has become one of my favorite songs. When I love something or someone I’m going to fight for it or them. I want people that love me to fight for me, whether it is standing up for me, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or whatever. If you love me, you’re not going to let other people tell you not to love me. You’re not going to let silly unimportant stuff get in the way.
I have also discovered that when I love someone, I want them to be happy no matter what. If making them happy means that I don’t get to be in their life then, yes, I’m going to be sad, but I still love them and want them to be happy.
