fight for it.

love always wins.

i've believed that for the better part of the last 4.5 years.

it's crazy how much i believe it....even after tremendous loss. i found myself endlessly grateful and hopeful that i had enough of God's grace surrounding me to allow my heart to wrap around those few words. 

and, somewhere in the middle of it all, i realized that love had been wrapped around me the entire time.

soooooo, here i am....in the middle of this sappy and love filled week.....and here i am....believing in what i've always known to be true--love does always win. sometimes you've got to fight for it. 

fight like hell for it.

breathe through it.

and sometimes you'll need to take the deep breaths.

ones that let you stop and take it all in.

no one is guaranteed a single thing. 

but i'd rather live in love than anything else.

i'd rather be here, in this life, than in anyone else's.
because it's lovely.
and fun.
and it is entirely mine.
