I've been thinking

It is still so weird to me to think that if somebody types the right buttons in the right order and then presses enter they will get here. To this passage into a very small part of my brain. Access to very few of my thoughts, but still enough to worry me that certain people could have access. You know what else is slightly strange to me? Love. I was watching an interview with Chris (yes him again) and someone asked about the song What is Love that he wrote. They asked how his parents reacted, since it's about their divorce, and they asked what love is to him. So when I heard the question I started thinking what would I say if I was asked that question? Well, I would say love is wanting the best for someone, and being willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that it comes to pass. That is what Jared taught me way back in the day. But then I thought (yes all of this thought came from a simple question that someone asked Chris about his song) what does that really mean? What does wanting the best for someone really look like? I mean, Jesus wanted the best for us so he died for us so we wouldn't have to. So are we supposed to go find someone on death row and die for them so they don't have to? No, that's obviously unreasonable. So, how do we live out love by its true definition? I don't know. I know it's different for every person and different for every situation. And I know it's a whole lot more than just saying the words I love you.
