Have you ever just looked at someone and thought, “I really love you”. They’re just talking or humming or watching a movie or reading a book or laughing or something, and there’s something about them in that moment that makes you think, “I just really love you”.

Love Part 2: My Definition

Personally, I feel like the word is open for interpretation, based on the situation. I am one of those people who are guilty of using "love" recklessly and impulsively. For example, saying "I love you" to someone you aren't very close to just because they did something you liked/admired. However I don't think that doing this takes away from it's special meaning, necessarily. There are many ways to say you love someone. But when you do say you love someone (and you actually mean it), this is what usually comes to my mind: 

1. I accept who you are wholeheartedly. 

Now this doesn't mean I'm gonna be spineless and approve of all your flaws and bad decisions. Hell no. It means that, despite your flaws, I care about you. You mean something to me, you make a difference in my life for the better, and I appreciate the happiness you give me. Everyone has flaws, it's just up to you to decide which ones you can handle better. For me, it is the experiences I share with you (and all the craziness that comes when being with you) that's special.

2. I support you.

This one is a little tricky. A lot of the time, people think that supporting someone means being behind their decisions 100%. But that just doesn't work sometimes. Especially if you, as a person who loves them, don't agree with it! Supporting someone, in my opinion, means having their back in whatever decisions they make for the better of the other. THIS DOES NOT MEAN MAKE THE DECISIONS FOR THEM. Supporting them means letting them know you recognize something that just isn't right, letting them know if you don't approve, but ultimately leaving the final decision for them to make. A lot of the time, we care so much about people that we feel justified to make decisions for them... but that's just not right. You let them know what's up, how you feel about it, and give some advice (if they ask for it). If someone you love is making a decision you disagree with, you let them know that, but don't keep them from making it. Give them a head's up, and let THEM choose. No matter what happens, when it comes down to it, they just want to know that you'll be there for them.

3. I'm here for you.

Similar to #2, but a little more broad. Being there for them means that when shit goes down, even if you called it, you are there for that person. You're there to scream alongside them, hug and comfort them, drive them some place they find peace... it's different for every person, but you get what I mean. Whatever decisions you make regarding that person are in their best interests, because let's face it: "their happiness is your happiness" no matter how unoriginal that line is. 

4. You mean something to me.

When you tell someone you love them, you are reminding them that you care about them. You're showing them the beautiful person you see inside them and letting them know that you genuinely appreciate who they are. A lot of the time, we forget about our good qualities and acknowledge the bad. But that's why the people in our lives who love us (friends, family, romantic-stuffs-people) remind us of those qualities.them you love them,show them you care. Because bottom line, they make you happy. So they're always going to be worth the "trouble".

Weeeeellp that's my definition of love. You may agree, you may disagree. Main point being, you can never tell the people you love how much they mean to you too many times (unless it gets annoying haha jk). So go do it! Re-post this and help spread the love.

It's been a while, but I finally had a solid topic I could talk about. Catchya later :)

When you're so complicatedly confused about how you feel, you just don't give a fuck anymore and be happy that they're a part of your life.

11 Questions

Thanks jbltrn for the tag :) Never really did one of these so....here's my attempt!

1. Who’s a person you feel like you could be around forever, and why? If you don’t have one at the moment, describe that ideal person.

I have 8. They're my friends that survived through the transition from high school to college. I'll sum them up into one person though. Someone who can always make me smile, even if it means annoying the hell out of me. Someone I can talk to about life with, and is spontaneous enough to travel with me. Someone who is genuine enough to accept me for my loud, obnoxious, giggly and even encourages it further. Someone who I can feel their warmth and kindness when they speak.Where do you find your inspiration to be the kind of person that you are?

2. Where do you find the inspiration to be the kind of person you are?

3 places. Family. Friends. Cartoons. My parents trained me to always think of and care for others. Cartoons showed me what kind of relationships I wanted to have with my friends, aka the true value of friendship (Thank you Fruits Basket and Yu Yu Hakusho for that). My friends showed me what it means to be incandescently happy enough to laugh like an idiot.

3. Describe your fashion sense in three words.

Comfortable, loose, neutral.

 4. Something you’re deathly afraid of?

Spiders. Always have, most likely always will.

5. If you could instantly speak a language fluently, what language would it be and why?

Bisaya or at least Tagalog. Every first-gen Filipino knows that feel when your family looks at you while their talking and you desperately wonder what it is they're saying =_=

6. Favorite kind of food?

 I love food. Picking one is cruel. I'll give you my top 5 though (not in this particular order). Filipino, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean. It's not racist, it's what I grew up eating :P

7. When was the hardest time you’ve ever laughed? What happened?

Oh gosh. Well... I laugh an aweful lot. I can point out one time though. My friends and I were at 6 flags this past summer and were walking by the manta ray petting place. I see a guy reaaallly...get his groove on (have to put it that way, the way he was dancing) to the music and burst out laughing. My friend Sean sees him and starts to mimic his dance on point. Highlight of that day.

8. What do you want people to remember you for?

Depends on who it is. For my friends and family, how much happiness they blessed me with; they're the reason I smile. For former classmates, someone who always laughed I guess? I think the latter was already done though xD

9. Are you more of a doer, or a thinker? What would you rather be, regardless?

I think... I'm more of a thinker. My current problem is not being enough of a doer LOL. But little by little, I'm working on it. I'd rather be both. They go hand in hand to make a productive person.

10. A fact people would never guess about you?

For some reason, people get this strange idea that it's rare for me to feel sad, angry or upset. They see me happy almost all of the time, the one time they see me otherwise they find it shocking. One time, my classmate even said to me, "I didn't even know you could get sad" lol. They don't know that the reason for my happiness is because of the people around me. And my sadness does pop up every once in while. Silly as it sounds, this actually suprised people haha.

11. A song that’s helped you through a hard time?

Take on Me by A-ha. I missed my friends dearly and one of the inside jokes was this song. The bus group shall live on in my memories <3.

So... Idk if I did this right... but yeah. 11 random facts about me haha

*Doki Doki*

When a simple smile from someone immediately makes your day infinitely better by making your heart flutter....God I feel like such an idiot -_- lol

[animatedcollegekid-blog]

You’re going to cry, and you’re going to hurt. You’re going to wonder, and you’re probably going to blunder. You’re going to question and plead, asking “Why me?!” But in the end, you’re going to breathe. So breathe and breathe until you have gotten the ache out; breathe and breathe until you have forgotten the hurt. You will be different, but you will be better, whether it was from a broken heart or the loss of a dream. You’re still alive, and you’re getting much better.

Little Piece

Just got off the phone with one of my dear friends. We were talking about the origin of the soul in someone... when it came down to it, this was my response:

"I think our soul is the little piece of God in us. It can't be seen unless put into action, and it can't be heard yet it can tell stories without being spoken. Most of all, you can always feel it when it is touched."

We believe in our souls, yet we have no tangible proof that it exists. No one ever said that God was the same in every person. It's always expressed that our differences are what makes us unique. But it's in those distinctions that makes us the same. 

These differences are the talents we were given to share with the people around us and spread happiness.

You can put a label on whatever goodness is. You can call it human nature, or the love of a parent, or a true friend. You can call your soul anything too: heart, soul, essence, glowing orb beneath your flesh.. Either way, the essence of us that you see actively working in the world. 

So if you ever wonder why you're here, and can't find the reason... maybe try looking around you and seeing the beauty within people. It may or may not be the answer you're looking for, but it sure as hell will be fulfilling one either way :)

Stay happy, spread love.
