Pure Love

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant, or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with truth."

Society's ideology

In today's generation, when it comes to non-platonic relations, it's easy to dismiss "pure love". People often say "all men/women are the same" in a sense that wrongdoing is everywhere, in everyone. It's easy to dismiss loyalty, because it is hard to find it in your common lover. I used to think the same as most people in society, when it comes to being in a relationship with a man. "They're all cheaters", "they're all liars", "they're all the same". But now, I know better.

My philosophy

I believe in a love that is pure and kind. I believe in a love where loyalty knows no limits. I believe in a love that can light up an abyss with all the constellations of a starry sky. I believe in a love that is forgiving and unconditional. I believe in a love that will stay by your side til death do you part from the one that you adore, and even forever after that. I believe in a love that will not only die for what they cherish, but also live for it. I believe in a love so pure, it wills the power to heal, creates the most darling fabrications, and replaces the most profound depths of agony, with joy and lightheartedness. This is the type of love I believe in, and know is possible.

Why?

"Why?" "How could you?" "Life isn't a fairytale". Like I said, it's easy for society to dismiss such a utilitarian idea. But I believe in this type of love, because I am. I have felt the joys and thrills of pure love in it's fullness by being graced with the ability to be able to give it. To love another person so much, any ill-intent is not even an idea. To be so devoted to loving someone so gently, like it's my purpose on Earth. Whether it be to my child, to my family, to my friends, or to my lover. And to be able to love like this in the first place, because this is the love my God has bestowed upon me. Filling my cup, so I am able to fill others.

Reality

Of course, I am not perfect, nor is anyone walking amongst this Earth. I do not love purely 100% of the time. I don't even feel purely loved 100% of the time. I have not been able to execute this type of love all the time, or even with all those who my path has been aligned with. And that's okay, because joy without suffering, bears a life with little to no gratitude. In facing adversities, the sight of God's grace is clearer, and we are able to appreciate the fruits of His labor in its entirety. It's like sunshine after the storm.

In the end, I know what I can give, I know what I deserve, and I won't be settling for less.
