The Power of a Quote

So I have recently discovered that I am a complete sucker for good quotes. When I left for college, my mom gave me a book of inspirational/life changing quotes. Occassionally, when I'm feeling down or just have a free couple seconds I flip through it, and I always seem to find a good quote that fits my current mood. My friends make fun of me for updating the "about me" box on facebook too often because I am constantly finding new and great quotes that I want to share with everyone. Why I am I rambling on about quotes? Well, I have decided since I have such an obsession with other people's words of wisdom, I should start coming up with some of my own. My new goal in life is to have one of my quotes published in a book :) I had an hour or two this past Sunday, so I sat down and wrote one of my own. It's a little bit long, but I decided I should post the whole thing. Enjoy!

Love is eternal.

There is no such thing as falling out of love. At least that's what I believe. I find that once you love someone, you love him or her eternally. At one point in your life, you may love that person with all of your heart, and at another, you may love them without even being aware, with the smallest sliver of your soul. But to say you have fallen out of love with a person, I find, is impossible. I believe there is nothing that is able to stop or stand in the way of love. Love is ignored, sabotaged, pushed to the side in hopes of finding another love, but it is impossible to dissipate, to erase. Love is a choice. Once it is present, it will always be present, but whether or not it is acted upon, appreciated, and nurtured, is determined by the beholder. If one decides that their love is no longer strong enough, a relationship ends. But the love does not end. No matter how weak it may be, the love will always remain. Forever.

Love is eternal.
