l o v e

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.

Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.

-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

sometimes i need this in order to realize what love truely is. i need to read this to remind me to be patient and kind. through the fights and the hard times, if you really love someone, it's the best feeling in the world. it's like the saying, " when you're with somone, it's like falling in love with them over and over again..."- nina loshiavo. well she didn't quote this exact quote, but i never heard of it until she said it to me. ah. i need to control myself. sometimes i can't handle the truth or reality. i need to get over it and just toughen up. please, let me grow stronger, not weaker. let me not become stubborn and selfish. let me learn to be a better person. frustration is taking over me. i want to calm down and just listen, but i don't. i need this. i need you.
