"I love you so much it hurts!"

I love you so much it hurts...

We've all heard this phrase, many of us have said it, but how often do we think about it?

Tonight I was just thinking about this. What does it even mean, to love someone so much it hurts? Does it mean that love=hurt? Nope.

Here's what I think. Loving someone so much it hurts means you feel it when they hurt. When they are sad, you genuinely feel sad. When someone hurts them, you feel personally wounded or hurt as well. You feel what they feel. It goes the other way, too. When they are happy, you are too. When they accomplish something, you feel proud!

It all goes back to Genesis, in the Garden of Eden. You really and truly become one, feeling each other's joys and pains, and you work through things together.

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

(NOTE: Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different. I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG! But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about. So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power". Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus? Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir! It was hilarious and so awesome. We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense. Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone. One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game. Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
