Is love really worth it? Love is what makes a person's heart beat with a never ending joy, happiness, and fulfillment. Without "true love" a person never knows the union two people can share in their lives. Love causes use to bind as one...it warms our hearts, twists our brains, and plays havoc on our minds every day. I have to describe love as being like a giant firecracker that lights up the soul and spirit of a person like they've never felt before. It's something we want to hold on to and to treasure with all of our soul and we never want it to be taken away from us.

True love is demonstrated in a way as to give our all to that special person in our lives. It releases our actions to show our love in a million ways. True love brings secrets out and airs pasts that we never thought we could discuss with anyone. Love builds a friendship/mating with your mate that's closer than a kangaroo and its kid. It joins us as true soul mates, lovers, comforters, listeners, caretakers, advisers, and wife/husband to be there for each other at all times.

Love comes in many forms. We can have love for a hobby, craft, or game, sports, and when we love even the most simplest of things...it fills us with happiness and contentment. Love causes the world to go around for people. Love makes us strive for the things we want in life and it makes us do things we never thought we would or could do. Love is one of the most precious gifts our Creator gave to mankind. It soothes the soul, eases the mind, and brings fulfillments into our lives. Love can act as a medicine to many because it clears desires and releases our anxieties.

Love allows us to reach out to touch other peoples lives; to assist those in need; to come to the rescue of one in trouble; to care for the sick and disable, and to make it a habit to always show love and respect to all people. Love brings about true friendships, builds foundations, gives us that "can do" attitude, and a desire to help make others lives important to them too. Love isn't sold in packages...it comes within the spirit and out of the soul of mankind. Take a look around you, even the critters of the world show love and care to their critter families and for their caretakers. Love is worth it in every way you look at it. Love cannot be taken away from you but you can give love to others. Make it a point if you see someone who may not be as fortunate as you are, to reach out and greet them with a, "hello, a smile, a kind word," and when you do this you'll never know what you may be doing for someone who has never felt they fit in or they are loved.
