What is love but a concept? Love is nice, but true love is indescribable. When you truly love someone you cannot find the words to describe the affection or passion that you feel, it seems impossible. Love is just an idea, but true love is much more powerful than that. As a sense of urgency it will never go away. A force that keeps people together and breaks them apart, it becomes the feeling you get when you realize that the person you truly love will forever be in your heart. Indeed an unconditional and beautiful wonder. However, even that simple explanation does not come close to the feeling you get once you experience such a thing. Atonly the age fourteen I found true love outside of God himself and my family for the first time.
I remember that day as if it happened last week. I had just shown up to my first day ofband camp when I walked past the person who would forever change my life for the better. At the time I had no idea that such amazing things were yet to come, but after we met it did not take long for me to fall hard for this incredible person. Through God I finally found true love outside of my family for the first time. Interesting enough, my mom says that even before we started our relationship I would constantly talk about him, so she saw my heart plummet before I did.
The beauty of the whole situation shows how amazing things turn out to be sometimes. More than two years ago when I found my true love we were blessed enough to be able to drum together, something we still both share a deep passion for. Even to this day as we make music together our unison drum beats represent our hearts beating as one, and those heart beats symbolize one heart that beats for God.
One of my fondest memories came about when I asked my Bai (grandmother), “What is love?” and she simply responded, “Well, love is God, and all of the beautiful things that he blesses us with each and every day. God is the ultimate love.” She did not have to say anything else for me to fully grasp what she meant. The “ultimate love” that she spoke about stems fromthe truest and most pure kind of love out there, and that is exactly what I found as my heart beats with his as one for God. I will save this memory and all of the memories I make with my true love and send them on to my children and great grandchildren so that they may know where the true love I will have for them came from, and how it all started.
