I believe that love is one of the strongest emotions in the universe. I believe that is has the power to tear you apart and break you down. I also believe it is the most positive emotion in the universe. I believe it can heal your heart, lead you in the direction your life should be going, and make you whole again.

People say that love hurts. They're wrong. Abandonment hurts. Rejection hurts. A broken heart hurts. Love can heal all of that. Love is a beautiful thing, it makes everything seem just a little but brighter.

Love comes in many forms. The love between and parent and child is one of the strongest bonds and has been that way since the beginning of time. The love between you and your God is even stronger. That love is the healing kind.

I say "I love you" on a regular basis. To my mother, my father, my brother, and my friends. I never end a conversation with a family member without telling them that I love them. In a weird and sad way, if that is the last time I'm ever able to talk to them, I want the last thing they hear from me to be how much I love them.

Open your heart to love. Please. Everything will turn around for you if you just let someone in and let them love you. It doesn't have to be a romantic love. It can just be a supportive, "I'm here for you, let me help you" love. But please, open your heart.
