My greatest fear in life is neither death nor not ever finding my ideal man. Rather, it's finding the exact opposite of my ideals, living and falling madly in love with him, and casting all else aside. Some days, it's the scariest thought that keeps me awake in the wee small hours of the morning. Love is an adrenaline rush, an exhilirating roller coaster ride that makes you brave enough to dare and dream. It a wonderful experience to feel it. It brings you happiness, jealousy, sadness, excitement and every other emotion that makes you human and feel alive. Here are my two-cents worth of learnings from loving. Love has to be tested. As fire purifies gold, trials and difficulties can either strengthen the love you feel or ultimately show you that this love isn't true. It's always easy to love a person when everything between you is calm and okay. However, it is difficult to love someone when you are going through tough times. It's difficult to love a person when the world seems to pull the two of you in different directions. If you are able to rise above the challenges, with your love for each other unwavering, then consider yourself, blessed beyond measure.
