I was looking for something to encourage me and I found this qoute. It's funny how just a few words can really make an impression. Read this, it might do something for you too if you're in the same boat.
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two. " --From "Captain Corelli's Mandolin"

Wow. What a beautiful quote. I think that is truly what love is! It's also important to remember that when you have love, be it in a friendship, or a romantic relationship, it needs to be nurtured and tended too. I think one of the laws of nature is that if you don't cultivate love it can wither away.
