I love a lot of people. I love my friends, I love my family. I love my roommates, and I love many of my classmates.

The problem is, I can’t say so. The word love is so tightly tied to romantic interest that it makes it difficult to use it in any other context.

Gordon B Hinckley has taught:

Love is like the Polar Star. In a changing world, it is a constant. It is the very essence of the gospel.

Without love . . . there is little else to commend the gospel to us as a way of life.

Short reponce: find look for love.

When we put ourselves into a position to be loved, we put ourselves in a position to be heartbroken. Because when we allow ourselves to be loved, we allow ourselves to be hurt by those who love us.

This is true even outside of romantic relationships. It is true in family relationships as well as friendships. It can happen in any relationship where we open up to the love and affection of others.

The exception is our Heavenly Father, who loves us unconditionally. He will never betray us, or stop loving us.

But if I could just walk away
I wouldn’t know which words to say
but if you want I’ll try to stay
so tell me
whats the key

And if I love you, tell me will you
If I’m lonely destined, throw me a clue

This is in responce to a poem I found.

I slept in this morning, you were in my dreams
Thoughts still dominate, I smile all day long
Big things it seems, though its just sitting and talking
Concerts, journeys, epics and feats,
I relive all these things every time I think of you.

Every minute I ask, is there something here?
I always know the answer
In my heart, I love you
Even life is a dream, seems more than real
Am I being logical, or is my heart being carried away,
or is it just the twitterpation from love?

I keep trying to understand myself,
clarity.
