Storms Tonight

The weather man is forecasting some severe weather tonight for the North Texas area. We're under a tornado watch and several counties to the East have been under tornado warnings throughout the evening. I'm a little nervous but hopefully we'll make it through tonight without a scratch. Let's cross our fingers and hope Arlington, TX gets lucky once again weather-wise.

"Just Take My Hand...Cause I Love You"

I was thinking about love today. It comes in so many forms. There's romantic love, friendship love, and countless others that I'm not sure I could name. Is there only one person out there for all of us? Or is there more than one option in love when it comes to being truly happy? Some would say that they've been truly in love with many, and others say that they've only truly loved one. I'm not quite sure where I fit in there. I am still too young to have had every experience when it comes to matters of the heart. I wonder if people can fall as deeply in love with someone as they did with another, or if a certain kind of love is reserved within our souls for just one.
I personally would do anything for the one I love most. If she was dying and the only way to save her was to give her my physical heart, I would. I'd let the doctor's kill me so she could live. Yes, I do believe I would die for her. I can't imagine ever living without her. She is my sun and my stars. I'm not positive if the love I feel for her is romantic or a different kind of love. It is very confusing when you delve deep into this kind of thing. Feelings are elusive and I am not sure if we as humans will ever figure out the enigma that is "love". Why do we love? What inside of us so desperately needs to feel love? Why would we die for someone we love when our natural state of mind is an individualistic one?
Love is powerful indeed. That is why we shouldn't play with people's emotions. It can tear you up from the inside out. Love can kill, but it can also bring about life. It is this wholly human emotion that very much amazes and confuses me. I doubt that I will ever fully understand it. Even so, I promise to enjoy every minute of this thing called "love".
