True Love
June 09 2005
I learned about true love and true friendship last night. Now, I know I'm not the best friend or the best person, and I'm definitely not trying to brag or be like "Hey I'm cool, be like me." But last night I learned that true love is truly putting yourself aside when your friend needs you. True love is being there no matter what. True love is being willing to sacrifice for someone else. But when you truly love someone, it doesn't seem like much of a sacrifice. It may be somewhat inconvenient, but you care more about your friend than your inconvenience. That's true love. Both in a friendship and in a romantic relationship. You truly love someone when you think about someone before you think about yourself. When was the last time you saw a TV show, watched a movie, or listened to a song that supported that idea? When's the last time you lived it? Last night changed my persepective.
"Love is patient, love is kind... it is not self-seeking... It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." -from 1 Cor. 13
*EDIT* This is what Kelly said about me (with the questions from the previous two entries):
AMY -- 01. You're never in a bad mood. Ever. 02. The song "Beautiful One" that's sometimes sung in youth all of a sudden popped into my brain, so we'll go with that. 03. 10:00 in the morning. 04. Devoted. 05. Talking prom and a whole lot of other stuff after school that one day. :) 06. A canary! 07. What does the future hold for you after college?

I just wish I could have been there too. I was worried sick.
I'm praying for it all too. I am slightly more optimistic now though.
