The Hunger for Love
"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread." - Mother Teresa
I've never really enjoyed Valentine's Day romanticly because I'm usually single or in a shitty situation. It's not something I'm bitter about, but what girl doesn't love receiving gifts? We don't need a reason. We just love the romanticism of it all no matter how commercial it may be. We hunger for true love. We love the tingly feelings it gives us inside. However, each year, no matter if I'm with someone or not, I know that I'm still loved. I don't need to be in a romantic relationship to validate love. I love myself and most importantly God loves me. I also have the love of friends and family who will love me no matter what mistakes I make. Love can be expressed in so many ways, so I try not to focus only on romance. "It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate a self-love deficit," says Eartha Kitt. I have devoted myself to loving others and helping my community, and I hope that I will create something along the way that gives my life purpose.
