inspired by love today

i've been so busy lately. busy with thinking and being nervous about work. busy with trying to have fun when i'm not working. busy with completing life's mundane tasks like eating, doing laundry, driving places, etc. i've been planning out my days. trying to fit in exercise, moments for relaxation, scheduled dog walks. it's tiring to my spirit that's so prone to live an unplanned life...in every way! haha

but i've been missing the point. i've been focusing on myself, i've been looking through a tunnel of my own stupid cares. when my loved ones have the power to cheer me, distract me, and remind me of what gives life worth.

today at work, i was inspired. seeing parents with extremely sick children, i was taken aback...kind of knocked on my butt by their attitude. there they sat, at their sick child's bedside...at the will of the doctors, nurses, test results, and machines tracking their child's progress. dedicated to seeing their child get well. after thousands of diaper changes, sleepless months, and information overload, they were able to cuddle their baby, trying to comfort him. it was so beautiful. the love...

i'm touched by the fact that love truly does extend beyond comprehension sometimes. when others couldn't imagine having the will to keep going and keep loving, the lovers can't imagine NOT. like parents to sick children, love is an unbearable attraction. pain, death, sickness, and extreme lethargy couldn't even weaken it.

love conquers all, love saves, and love amazes me!

notice the love, feel the love...and you'll start to forget yourself...it's a good feeling.
