Love and Sacrifice

My Social Science 1 professor once asked our class what love is for us. I answered immediately without hesitations, "Love is wanting someone to be happy, whether or not you are part of that happiness."

"Therefore, love is...?" He continued.

Then, someone from the back shouted, "sacrifice."

Yes, sacrifice. Martyrdom. Risk. Adjustment. That is love. Complicated and yet very much embraced. How strange people can be!

Sadly, I'm one of those strange people because I love. Therefore, I adjust. I risk. I sacrifice. Damn!

So, if he loves me so much, too, like what he keeps telling me, then why can't he adjust for me? Why can't he sacrifice even just a little for me?

Maybe he's not strange after all. I don't wanna be one, too! /sob
