We love despite....

"The half-life of love is forever." - Junot Diaz

Everyday we have some form of love in our lives. We love food, we love shelter, we love technology bit these are all superficial loves. What we hold most dear is the love we have for the people in our lives who love is back. There is no end to this love because despite what these people may do to us, no matter how they hurt us, the love we share is still stronger than anything. Junot Diaz's story about a mother's love is the prime example. No matter how much Rafa had hurt his mother, she still managed to love and support him by turning a blind eye. When we love for real, it lasts forever. Another example would be a first love. There's a reason why they say "you never forget your first love". First loves may not have lasted but they are definitely the most memorable and real kind of love, which is remembered forever. Despite what obstacles may prevent us from love, if it's a real love, then it is forever.
