Simplicity and Randomness at its Best.

These three words sum up everything that I feel for you. Only now have I come to understand the perfectness of the sentence “I love you”, in all its entirety. Every time those three words pop up during a conversation, I still get butterflies in my stomach, like a ridiculous 7 year old that just learned how to ride a bike without the training wheels on. Heck, every time I see you on the first day of class of the week, I still get the butterflies.

It’s almost been a year since the day I asked you to be officially “mine”. It’s been a year and I feel like we’ve both grown so much since then. I remember you telling me that you were scared to get into another relationship after what happened before us, and that our friendship was something that you valued a lot, which could be compromised if ever we decided that a relationship between the both of wouldn’t work. I want you to know that even then, I never doubted that I would be able to love you well, honestly, wholly, and that I’d be able to take care of you, love. Simply because I was so sure that I loved you, every little piece of you - because you make me happier than anyone else in the world. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel lucky to have you. You get me on levels that no other person could ever hope to reach, and I would not trade the yummiest cake on this earth for that - and you know how much I love food. Hehe

That’s why when you tell me you’re worried, or scared of things repeating, I’m not afraid to tell you that it won’t happen, but I guess time will tell. As we both grow together, and pass all these hurdles of being in a high-pressured course in college, I want you to always remember that I ain’t movin’ an inch away from you because I promised you that I would always be there for you, and I also promised that I would keep all my promises. :))

The world needs more of that real kind of love, the kind that stays - the kind that knows and values what’s right in front instead of looking towards the side for those second-bests. I’m glad to say that my dad taught me that you can stay madly in love with her even after n years, and still have those googly eyes even at the age of 49. I can’t wait to wake up to you on the same bed in a house we both live in too.

And hey,

I love you

Leaves most people at a loss for words most of the time, simply because it was and still is the most mysterious human emotion to date. Probably because love is experienced by all of us but in different ways and with different people or things. If I were to describe love in one word, I would use the word magic. Not to sound cheesy, no, but it's practically the most accurate one-worded description out there. Love does things that nothing else in this world can do. It moves people in ways that no other force on this earth does.

I was planning on writing about love before the year ended, mainly because this year was so full of love in so many ways that I can't not write about it. But then again I wouldn't want to spoil the experience for those that have yet to find out what real magic can do in a world full of non-believers and skeptics. 

It's true what they say though, that love changes people. It makes you softer, kinder, more patient, more open, happier, and it makes you want to become a better person all in all. It's not a fall, it's more like a floating-up-higher-and-higher-into-a-blissful-sky-full-of-hope kinda thing. It's even better than what they tell you in the movies; it's even better than that kiss that happens at the end of every typical romantic film you saw last weekend - it's 1230981273098791827x better. 

But since the last thing I'd want to do is overrate the thing, I will say this: It takes a lot of work to love someone. Okay maybe not so much work and the negative synonyms associated with 9 gruelling hours a day spent in the office but rather time and effort and patience. This is where the quote nothing worth having comes in.

It is worth it though. It's fucking worth it. She's fucking worth it. He's fucking worth it. 

I guess Disney had always gotten it right all along. Love is the best feeling in the world. Hands down.
