Choosing Love
I love love. A positive feeling that helps you attract all the good things into your life. A positive feeling that can be found everywhere if you look for it. A feeling that is hard to describe but when you’re surrounded by love, you just know.
Doing things you love helps improve your mental health, helps keep you emotionally and physically well. Whether it’s reading a book you like, listening to music, working out or spending time with a loved one, all these things help improve your life, by bringing back all the good feelings related to love.
We know love to be a good thing, so then why is it seen as something bad, when you choose to love the person you want. Choosing a life partner shouldn’t be based on their country, race or religion, but on how the person makes you feel. Where you can be your true self without needing to change. A person who makes you feel safe and loved. A person who understands you without words. A person who cares for you and supports you through life. Who always pushes you forward and never holds you back. A person who you know and feel to be your other half. Your soulmate.
Someone once said that Love always Wins, this I believe, but I never knew how hard the battle would be to win. Why in my generation are we still talking about caste, religion and colour, when we’re surrounded by beautiful people from all walks of life, who have shaped the person I am, today.

We shouldn’t be judging people based of their credientials but rather on their actions and how they make you feel. Your intuition never lies and you know whether this person is yours. It will never make a wrong decision, because you know what’s best for you without even knowing it.
As a brown girl, there are many battles I have faced and will continue to face, but the hardest one will always be following your heart, knowing that the decisions made will upset many people, only because they are not open enough to accept change.
But the emotions of others shouldn’t affect decisions you make, because then you are not in control of your life. Rather, you’re living your life for others.
So, If you have found love, keep it close. Don’t let anyone make decisions on who you can love and be loved by, because Love is the most powerful force in the universe. Having someone who loves me, has made me strong to face these battles one day at a time, because I know I have strength from love to keep me going.
And I know deep down, Love will always win.
