She was precious like a flower.

Life is funny the way it works. The way the wind against your skin can send a spark of contentment that pierces through your soul, even if only for a minute. The way a leaf falling through the sky can bring a slight smile to your face even in your darkest hours. The way a single conversation can bring confusion to your head but happiness to your heart.

What is life without risk? Yeah, risk is scary. It makes you vulnerable and vulnerability makes us weak, or at least we think so. But isn’t that what love is all about? Being vulnerable and nervous, yet comfortable and full of joy.

Love is a rush of emotions. It’s hard to explain and even harder to understand, but ultimately it’s what we all hope for. It’s what we all wish for. Some of us may be lucky enough to find it. Others may have found it and let it slip through their fingers only to realize years later that they’ll never find it again. Some settle. Some spend their whole life seeking out love, while others wait on love to find them.

If you ask me, love is part of each individual’s destiny. You can’t control it. Love has a way of finding us, at the perfect moment, at the perfect time, in the perfect place, with the perfect person. Patience. That’s the key. Love will find you. Take peace in knowing that love is out there, and it will find you, one day.
