love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Love
I am a 26 year old sub-urban 'kid' from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. I haven't had a lot relationships growing up. A lot of my 'firsts' have been in my 20s, including: having a close group of friends, a sudden loss of friendships, that unspoken moment of growth when reality hits you in your teens (that also happened in my mid 20s).

I’m Glad I Didn’t Give Up on Love
There was a quote that resonated with me since the time I had seen it, that went something like, “I have given up on love plenty of times, but love has never given up on me.” Ville Vallo from HIM, a Finnish rock band, is credited with that inspirational statement. For the longest time, I had given up on love too. I was certain that I would never meet a single person who loved me in the way I loved them—wholly, passionately, and without doubt. After having been in a few abusive relationships and experiencing sexual harassment and abuse, I declared to myself that I was done.

What Is True Love?
What exactly is true love? Is it open to interpretation by each individual or is there only one definite definition for true love? There are of course many different types of love such as friendship love, romantic love, agape love, Eros, and the love you have for your family. Love is something I seek out, fall into, and fall out of.

Love Is a Contract
As I learned about the importance and the elements of a contract in my paralegal program, I delved into the meaning and the application of contracts in my daily life. A contact can be done orally, but it is legally binding in writing. When I finished dabbling into this topic, I realized something—Love is a contract. These are the reasons why I believe love is a contract:

Finally
"You're too young to know what love means, you don't know what it's like to be in love." That's all I was told when I met you at 10 years old. Maybe it was true, maybe I didn't know what love was, maybe I had never been in love before. I know now, ten years later, that it is you, it has always been you. People have flown in and out of my life like the tide against the shores and I have never felt this way about anyone else. Although I was 10 years old, I fell in love with all of you and I have fallen more and more every day since then. 3,652 days have gone past since I fell into your ocean eyes and you are still worth waiting another 3,000 days for.

You Will Never Be Better Than Your Spouse's First Love
My husband had love before me. I know that's not something new, but his love died. This is her story as told by his teenage journals. They were teenagers, and she was a girl that he shouldn't have been in love with. He saw her everywhere; school, friend's homes, and at his favorite arcade. They had plans to run away and get married and have kids. They had secret codes that they used to say I love you when they were near people who wouldn't understand their love. They had been friends since they were babies, and lovers since they were 10. That was until they were 16, and her heart gave out. She was surrounded by her family and her love, but not even he could make her heart start again. He mourned her and resigned to never fall in love again.

Blinded by the Light
The search for one's true mate, loved one, that other piece of their soul that makes them feel complete, can be frustrating, annoying, even maddening. But if one takes the time to work on themselves, love themselves and open their hearts to whatever the universe has in store to grant them, the results can be quite fulfilling. The person that one thinks is their soulmate could very well indeed be a soulmate, but soulmates are only temporary, here to teach us lessons, they are not necessarily our twin flames or a life partner. Twin flames/life partners are souls that are cut from the same universal energy as you. For instance, they can be in the Creative Arts just as you are, or in whatever field your passion is.

Life Movie
She hadn't been here in forever. Some would call it home, but it's not that. It's a pause. A gap. A break that she's forced to take before she can press play on the movie that is her life. She watched the people, her family, through the living room window like it was a movie screen. Her mom, with the phone tucked between her shoulder and ear, taking notes with pen and paper, she's still dressed for work. Her dad sitting in his old leather chair watching his son play a video game. They were going to hate her for this, but she did it anyway. She walked to the front door and knocked. Pausing her life movie, but making their jump a scene.
