Love

I find it strange that whenever girls my age talk about love, it's immediately about boyfriends.
Why is the only 'love' people seem to know romantic? Why can't other types of love be just as important - and just as strong?
Familial love, for example, is treated as meaningless by many. People take it for granted; because family are supposed to care about eachother, it doesn't matter!
People should realise that it does.
Try having part of your family removed from you before you even knew they existed. Try living your life with another person in their place; not seeing through the facade. And then try suddenly finding them out of the blue and try to imagine how it feels.
To find that golden light that had been hidden from me for so long was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And yes, I do love my Dad. I love him more than anything.
He listens to me, cares about me. He holds my hand and makes me feel special. And whilst that may not seem remarkable to you, "just typical father behaviour", I spent so long without him that even the littlest things make my heart smile.

Love is love, no matter what 'type' is it. And people should appreciate what they have.
