“Is being in love really ever about anyone else at all?” For me — Yes.

The romantic kind of love- yes. The possibly longer lasting, self-love kind- No.

But you can have all the love from sun, and flowers and most importantly, with yourself, and still WANT to be with your one person. Is that a bad thing necessarily? Is it not ok to be at peace with life and still feel an ache for wanting to share everything with a person who is not there, or has left or has not been found?

Maybe, every kind of love is important for this life.

Lovely writing style Elizabeth Meg. Kudos!
