If you haven't seen 50 Shades of Grey, then you may not know this song.
If you haven't listened to the radio (on pop stations) you may not have heard this song.
BUT, if you are one of the hundreds that did see the film, you may recognize the song.
I chose this song for many reasons. One reason is that I thought the song fit into the newest book, Enchanted Legacy, at a particular part. The words he uses to speak of his love for a woman he is in love with, worked out well.
The second reason is that I wanted a song, that was about love, but also broken love. A love that could be found out of something that you thought couldn't happen. Love finds it's way into our hearts when we aren't looking. We find love and then we lose love.. Sometimes, you find love in the oddest places, but we all search for love, it's finding it, and keeping it is the secret. We may be broken vessels at times, but we all earn for love. You may not earn for the sappy love story kind of love, but everyone searches for love.
If you are lucky in love then you are lucky enough, is a common quote, I adore.
I find this to be true. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Love sees no color, no sexual preference, no bias, just pure from the heart, love. Love can be merciless, love can be hard, torn apart, shred you into pieces, and yet hold you to the highest standards that you want, and need.
In 50 Shades of Grey, the books were about love, but in a twisted way. She, Ana, in the book, wanted pure happy love, Christian, didn't know how to love like she wanted. HE wanted her as a possession not as a lover, per say. She wanted to teach him how to love, and he didn't want to learn. The story changes through the books, and his love becomes more possession than the sappy kind of love. In the end though, they learn from one another, and learn how to make their love work. Everyone needs love, just how you use love is what separates us from one another. If you know someone loves you, but you don't feel the same, then you should let them go. Whether that causes pain at the moment, is better than causing pain in the long road. Fifty Shades was a book, that was most definitely geared for adults. I thought the trilogy was very good, but not the best written book I had read. She was repeating the same phrases numerous times, but in the end, you find that you get over that. Well, at least, I did.
Today, the song may have been used for a film, that had to deal with very different circumstances than in my upcoming release, Enchanted Legacy, but the song fit. Find your love, find your peace, and LIVE for today. Not for tomorrow. If you are in a relationship, and you think it may not be working for you, then let it go. Let your life, your heart, be free, to enjoy love how it should be. You can't change people, but you can change how you feel and how you should be treated. Find love in your heart, and whatever and whomever that may be, I hope you find that peace with the one you love.
