Quantifying Love

Love is not love until you give it away. Not true. Not exactly.  You can harbor love, you can let love live in your heart and grow like itty bitty seedling until you are ready to give it away.  But you must. It's always there, sometimes it's knocking to get out and other times it just kinda lays dormant until someone is on the outside waiting to get in. Don't ever miss your opportunity or be stingy with what you have inside of you.

People hold back their love for such a varied array of reasons. I can only know why I may have at times, and wonder about every one else. Most do it out of fear, a lot probably don't even know why they are so guarded but you have to ask yourself why. And then you have to ask yourself what you are waiting for.  It's not like it runs out. Love never runs out, time however, will. It's the one thing we have in life that that is always available in plenitude. It's funny how some never use what God has given them for free to pass on to others.
 No one says you have to give it all away to one person.. or even to a member of the opposite sex.. give your love to a neighbor, a child, a stranger.. in your own way. Pay it forward with love and it will come back to you. I can attest to that. Problem with people is, they only choose to see love as something that only comes to them in quantity massive. Love comes around all the time, in quiet ways; you just have to look for it and it will be there to find you.

Truth be Told: Love is the only thing that feels just as good giving it away as it does receiving it. Don't waste moments not putting it out into the world for others to enjoy.
