LOL... Five

So today, i realized something. I realized something that i never really understood before, until now. You see, before, i always thought that love was this magical thing. A simple, heartwarming feeling that two people shared. Like a girlfriend and a boyfriend, or a husband and a wife. But today, i spent my day watching re-runs of One Tree Hill and celebrating an "early" thanksgiving with my family. A simple day, chill, comfortable, relaxing, being thankful for everything life has given us, but as i was lying in bed, watching these reruns, and i found myself being selfish. The truth is, i don't like celebrating holidays anymore. Well i do, but ever since me and my family moved to Canada, every holiday: Christmas, easter, thanksgiving, i have spent with my mom, dad, and brother, while the rest of my family have been in Scotland. Together. I'm here, on this long weekend, in my house, with food, a room, a family... and i am so thankful for all of that; but sometimes, i catch myself being selfish. How can i be surrounded in the love of my mom, dad. and brother, but at the same time be so angry and unhappy, because i'm not with everyone that i want to be with? Its not fair. Its not fair that we take love for granted. I realized that love comes in all different shapes and sizes; there are marriages, friendships, relationships. We can love boy friends, husbands, friends, pets, and all the same... it is still considered love. I realized that sometimes we have to open our eyes and look around... because love is all around us; all we have to do is acknowledge it.
