I've spent a lot of time recently in my life trying to learn how to love, and be loved.
It is surprisingly hard to do when you have been hurt, lied to, compared with, toyed with, and/or misunderstood. Yet, I can guarantee all of us have experienced some or more of those pains at some point in our lives.
Love is a word that people throw around with little or no meaning and with hardly any thought.
I personally can use it a million different ways....
But today I wanted to really think about the meaning behind the word and express my gratitude for those who have truly shown me what the word LOVE means.
I want to thank those who have taught me how to love, and what it means to be loved.
I love you all and I am so grateful for you.

Love is a word that people throw around with little or no meaning and with hardly any thought.
I personally can use it a million different ways....
- I love listening to music.
- I love to take pictures.
- I love to create art.
- I love social media.
- I love hugs.
- I love water.
- I love summer.
- I love France.
But today I wanted to really think about the meaning behind the word and express my gratitude for those who have truly shown me what the word LOVE means.
I want to thank those who have taught me how to love, and what it means to be loved.
- People like my parents who have been there through every high and every low... through my best days, and my worst. and who have shown me what it means to love unconditionally.
- People like my sisters who have taught me how no matter what differences you have between each other, no matter what your interests are, you can love each other for your strengths AND your weakness.
- People like my friends who have stood by me through some of the most challenging times of my life and stuck up for me when I felt weak.
- And most especially my husband who's love is patient, kind, gentle, understanding, intimate, unconditional and unique. Chance has taught me that with true love there is loyalty, there is patience, there is learning, and there is room to grow. I love him more than I did yesterday, and I love him even more than the day I married him. Our love has grown and will continue to grow, thanks to the love that Chance has taught me through example. If there is anyone that continually teaches me what love is. It is him.
I love you all and I am so grateful for you.
