in love with love

helloooo,

okay. i have something to admit. i am a truly hopeless romantic. hopeless. everything about love, i adore. it's like my secret obsession. the whole concept of someone falling in love with someone else is just the most beautiful thing. yesterday i saw a man give his girlfriend a bunch of sunflowers, and i almost cried it was so cute. it made me completely weak at the knees and all i could say to my friend was 'ahh, ahh,' and point stupidly at the girl who was now holding a bunch of sunflowers and smiling as if she had just won the lottery. why? for no other reason than flowers are cute and romantic and she is probably just as hopeless as me.
my worst is proposal stories. if you ever want to shut me up, tell me a story about a proposal. the whole idea that someone would love another person so much that they would want to spend the rest of their life with them is so lovely.

and i know its embarrassing, but i also know that i am not alone.
i think inside us all is a love for sappy love stories, a longing for a loving, committed relationship, for someone to tell everything to and for them to love you just as you are. and i think it goes deeper than loving rom-coms.
here's my theory, tell me if you agree.
we are wired to find someone who will love us just as we want. perfect love. unconditional love. a love that doesn't change and doesn't fade. eternal love. why? because we were made for a relationship with god. he instilled us with this longing so that we might search for him like a man with his head on fire searches for water.  we need it because we are wired that way, because when god created us he added a part in our mind that longs for him.
it can be filled with stories, flowers, kisses, hugs, late night phone calls, walk on the beach (and all that stuff is good, don't get me wrong), but when all that passes away, what we need is the love of god to fill us up and satisfy our hunger for love.

what do you think?

god bless :)
