So, I'm reading Wuthering Heights again. One of the books that makes me laugh and cry, and when that happens you know that it's a good book and that the writer was just simply a talented genious.
I can't get over the crazy, inescapeable, borderlining psychotic love that Catherine and Heathcliff had for one another, and it leaves you saying to yourself in the middle of sobs..."I want a love like that." Then, you start to ask your husband odd question about if he would want you to haunt him if you were to die before him. The facial expressions that play on his face in the middle of the interagation are halarious!
Seriously though, all joking aside...
It didn't matter what they went through, that love was always there. It was that one certain love that makes everyone and everything else disappear, nothing else in this world matters...except for that one person. They fought, laughed, cried, and drove each other to the brinks of insanity. They were seperated for years and even married different people, but their hearts and souls were always together. They haunted each other and they owned each other until the day that they both died.
Crazy right? The thing is though, is that the reason I love this couple more then any other is just because of the ups and downs, the seperations, and gut wrenching heartbreak. A lot of people have the mind concept that if you are in love then you never fight, you're attached at the hip, and get along all the time. Listen everyone! That is not the case.
When you are in love you do fight, you do argue, there can be times where you are seperated, years even. You can marry someone else or the other way around. You can live your own life, but you always find your way back to the one you truely love, because that's where your heart knows home is.
The person you love will drive you crazy, insane even. One second you'll curse his name and maybe even tell yourself that you hate him, and the next second you're laughing together, dancing, and kissing. It takes a strong love to endure all of the twists and turns in life, and because that love can rise above is simply what makes it love.
Emily Bronte showed us this. She showed us what real love is and does and what it can conquer. That is why she was a brilliant writer and that is why she is remembered to this day. It is easy to make it through the good times, but the hard times is what stretches the strength of your love to the limits and tests in longtivity. The hard times is what makes the love grow stronger.
