Februarium Entry #5: Why You Love

I thought about this a lot today. Okay, I thought about it a little between my sniffles and occasional bouts of violent coughing; I think I'm walking the borderline of brochitis and came home today and slept for three hours to try and prevent it going full blown. Happy Valentine's Day to me!

Anyway, I decided that I could be simple and talk about how I love Riley because of that cute thing he does when he rubs his head on my arm and how I love my mom because of all the support I get from her and how I love LoLo because she's been the closest thing to a sister that I could hope to have.

But you know, at the end of the day, I don't know why I love. I just do. I love each person (and animal) for different reasons, but why I can love them in the first place is a question for the ages.

I love because it makes me happy. I love because it makes my life fuller and happier to do so. I love because it's easy and you don't have to be smart or athletic or beautiful or otherwise special to do it. I love because I can.
