Misconception about love

I think the biggest misconception about love 
is that it's something you can lose.


To love yourself... 
...to love your friends... 
...to love your family... 
...to love your environment... 
...to love your body... 
...to love your job... 
...to love your life... 

Is not to look at it and see how badly everything needs fixing, 
or to long for the return of something you may not have again. 
It's not to stretch or contort the truth
into what you wish it would be instead.

It is to look at it exactly as it is, 

embrace it in the moment, 
see the potential for greatness, 
act out of gratitude for it being in your life now 
and let it grow as it will, 
however that may be, 
even if it leaves you, 
even if it's only alive for a moment.
