A Fashion Icon's take on Love

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire. If it is a small fire it will kill it. If it is a real fire it will intensify it." - Diane Von Furstenburg


Isn't it ironic how I found this quote while watching The Hills. If you don't know that show it's because it has no real substance and I see it as a bag of potato chips. No one should really be watching it because it's just empty calories but sometimes I just want to escape from life and it's satisfying.

I have a theory on "real love" and it's a bit scientific. Love is energy that cannot be created or destroyed. So if something is real it will last forever. When people are absent in our lives we can reflect back on how that person has changed us. People can change us for the good or for the worse. I think the best type of change is the one that makes us the best version of ourselves. Or maybe someone awakens a passion that we slowly let go and forgetting that it was even there. People can have all sorts of affect on us and we will forever be changed.

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?

But because I knew you

I have been changed for good. -- Wicked

How can the meaning of love be captured in a sentence or a combination of words? It is indescribable. It is a leap of faith, one that cannot be seen but we are positive of its existence.

Did anyone see Nights of Rodanthe? I didn't think so. It wasn't that good but yes I found an amazing quote. I wish this for everyone who is seeking it, who thinks they may have found it, and who may have to rethink a realtionship that they are currently in now.

"There's another kind of love. One that gives you the courage to be better than you are, not less than you are. One that makes you feel like anything is possible. I want you to know you can have that. I want you to hold out for it."
-- Nights of Rodanthe
