Love. A text post. Still exploring being completely known.

Thoughts on Love, by me

It is my pleasure.
It is my pleasure and sometimes it is my pain.
To love you.
I love you.
Not that I love you and seek romance
but I love you as a person, as a friend.
It is my pleasure to love you.
It is my pleasure and sometimes it is my pain.
The pleasure in loving.
The pain in loving.
I don't regret loving at all.



These words below are by C.S. Lewis:

To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.
Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket of coffin of your selfishness.
But in that casket of your selfishness--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the dangers of love is Hell.

He is real.

Sometimes I struggle to live out those things that I say I believe. Faith is simple but definitely not always easy. Today I am a bit under the weather with a cold. I am tired. And I have had some difficultly this week really living as I believe I should. I want to keep on fighting this fight in faith. Honestly every day is like this in its own ways. I guess the last few days have just been a bit more of a reminder. But it is good these are the things I must experience. I am sure they will grow me. I can be thankful for that, even though now things may seem difficult to endure.

Sometimes I am a bit weary about putting things up on my vlog regarding my beliefs. I don't want to be like that. These pages are my journal. I know others view them but really they are mine to use as I please. This entry on this electronic page is open for others to see but really it is for me. It is a record of a of my life, of who I am, of what is important to me, of what I experience and something I felt should be documented and preserved.

We Are The Media has posted 3 challenges over the last three weeks. Here is my response to challenge number 3. This footage was shot about 2-3 weeks ago this seemed like a perfect opportunity to use it. I had some different ideas for editing this clip but lack of editting experience and lack of sleep prevented some of those ideas from becoming reality. I like the results here though. Hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks for the challenge We Are The Media and thanks for the tunes DJ Cary and Magnatune.com.
