     Love.  People feel it, people look for it, and people loose it.  There are even people who think that have found it, but are only fooling themselves that so they can feel as if they are a part of something spectacular.  Love can come from many different sources, a friend, a family member, and the obvious, a boyfriend/girlfriend.  But, wherever it does come from, it is the greatest feeling on earth.

     To those of us who feel true love as of right now, hold on to it.  Love is arguably, the strongest emotion any human can feel.  It binds us, keeps us together.  This is where I feel I fit.  I feel love now.  I have never felt true love until now.  It must be the greatest feeling in the entire world.  Nothing could ever compare to how I feel about my significant other. Every other issue that concerns me, every other both the world throws at me is completely inferior to the way I feel towards the one I love.

     There are those of us who have never felt love.  Never felt a touch of an angel, seen a bright happy smile to greet them in the morning, or heard a tender word spoken softly to them at night.  To those, I say this; love is out there, all you must do is find it.  Or maybe, it will find you when you least expect it.

     To those of us who are still looking for love, keep going.  As I said before, love is out there.  Someday, someway, somehow, it will find you.  Have faith, be patient, and most of all, have trust.  In some point in time, love will touch your soul, warm your heart, and excite your mind.  And when it does, you will know.  The way that it fills you up with complete joy will signify that you are now a part of something very important.

     To those of us who have lost love, do not give up.  True love is not a “one shot” application.  It will come back, as long as you have faith and trust in it.  Listen to your heart, and follow what it says.  Never cross what your heart says, or else you will regret it.  Keep on the lookout for people who give no regard for emotions.  They will only make you feel less than you are worth.  Many of them say that they believe that emotions are worthless, and they only cause harm.  They say this because they have made the mistake of opening their emotions to the wrong person, to the wrong group.  They have been shunt by someone or something, and you must not let that happen to you.  Or else, you will become like them.

     Through out my life, I have never been taken seriously.  I have always been someone whose only apparent goal was to get attention and to make people laugh.  I have always been a very charismatic man, open to anyone needing advise, or a perfect shoulder to lean on.   Never was I happy with myself, and always kept my emotions inside, never expressing them to anyone or anything.  I spent many long nights crying softly in the corner of my small room, feeling more alone in the world than ever before.  This was all true, until I found true love.  The love that I now feel is so powerful, that it has allowed me to change dramatically in the last 8 months.  No longer do I keep my emotions inside, no longer do I demand attention from everyone.  Love, in a way, is what has brought me here to passions, as a new way for me to express my true emotional feelings.

     I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all of my friends that have suck by me in the past few months.  But especially…

     Abrahm, I really do and will forever appreciate what you have done for me.  Though you may not know it, you have been my silent shoulder that was always there for me to cry on.

     Jason, your integrity and honesty have helped me make tough decision since I’ve know you.  You have given me new views on every subject and interest imaginable.

     Cassie, you have been a new star in my life.  Until recently, we were not very good friends, but I am very happy now to be able to call you my friend.  You gift of laughter has been valued greatly.

     Krista, you have taught me the meaning of love.    Every thing you have done for me has not been forgotten and never will be.  I love you more than anything else in this entire world.  Happy 8th Month Anniversary.

Thank you all for reading.

This is a wonderful essay, and I'm glad that you have found true love, but you have left out one major "love category". Loving someone who doesn't love you back has got to be the worst feeling in the world, and I was surprised that you didn't include it in your piece. But it's still a wonderful piece of work! Keep it up!

Ohh Jeff...just when I thought I couldn't love you anymore than I already do, you prove me wrong. You brought tears to my eyes..I've never ever had anyone believe in me the way you do, trust me the way you do, and especially love me the way you do. These past 8 months have been the world to me. For the first time in my life, I too have known true love. Thank you for everything, my love.

Jeffy,

That was a very very very good essay.

I enjoyed reading it, and I was surprised at the mention of me at the end. Thanks for bringing back that good 'ole elementary friendship we had. It's been great. Congrats on the 8 months... so that should be about... exactly 4 months from my birthday then I take it... LOL. I will forever treasure our friendship, and love seeing you and Krista so happy...(no matter how much I gage) LOL. Great essay.

Sometimes the most important things can't be seen with the eyes, but are rather felt with the heart.

Love breaths when you're out of breath,
Love sits by the bedside when you're near to death,
and Love still feels it when the feelings gone,
Love lives on and on.
