Answer: I definitely do. I also believe that there are around three or so "types" of love, and I'm certain that I've experienced all of them. The first one would be the love a parent has for their child. I can say with undeniable confidence that I have not gone one day in my entire life having felt unloved. This I am able to say because of my incredible mother. In fact, she is the one who taught me about love, how to love, and how to feel love. Ever since I was a tiny kid, I've always felt so protected by her, so safe. She has given up so much (too much) for me, and it's all of the things I could never repay her for, so I just always try to love her back the same way. Truth is, she's gone through some severe rough patches in her life thus far, and I feel so much pain in my heart over it. She deserves much better than what she's been living with day-to-day. But I know there's only so much I can do to help her, so I really try to make sure she doesn't go a day without knowing how much I love and appreciate her.
Secondly, there are the other loves of my life: my friends. I have to tell you, I've felt very fortunate lately because I've got some pretty fucking awesome friends. While I reside in several social circles from my work friends to my closest and most trusted confidantes that have been with me forever, I always feel as though I've got someone to turn to if I need help. I would do most anything for these guys, and I'm pretty sure they know it, too. I can also include my sister here as well. Talk about someone who knows me inside and out, she's the one you would go to for an extensive collection of the most embarrassing stories about me, and she's never afraid to tell anyone about them, either.
Thirdly, of course, there is omgyoumakemyheartsohappyicantlivewithoutyouwillyoumarryme love. I am such a romantic, I love a good love story. If you think about it, it's pretty awesome that people can find one person that they'll never get tired of, always feel attracted to and always cling to through the good and bad in life. I definitely have hopes of finding a lady who can feel those things about me again... but oy vey I am a handful. I just know that when she comes along, she will have found the most considerate, loving and passionate person. Okay, and maybe a little crazy, too.
So whatever kind of love you may be celebrating today, I hope you've had an exceptional Valentine's Day, and I wish you overflowing amounts of the amoré throughout the rest of 2011.
