Love

Love, my friend, is a wonderfully, wonderfully, shitty thing.

There have been, and indeed, are, numerous attempts to define love, but the truth is, there really is no set definition.

* Love can mean completely different things to different people.

* For some, it is the heady rush, the constant butterflies and silly smiles that grace one's face.
*For others, love is the ever-present peace, the constant comfort and the assuring knowledge that the one you love is there.
*For others still, it is the aching longing, wanting and mad fits of possessiveness, and even obssession that define love.


One thing that we can be certain of, is that its a powerful thing. I hesitate to say emotion, as it seems much too callous and cold to describe love.

*After all, love has sparked wars, and ended feuds, love has hurt, and love has healed, love has driven mankind to dizzying extremes, only to abruptly bring one back round.

*Love is a fickle thing.

*Love has healed. Love has comforted. Love has made people insanely, foolishly, abnormally euphoric. Love has the ability to send one on an indescribable high, and make everything and anything so much better. The world around you is much more colourful, the people, much more nicer, the conversations more insightful.

*Love has also in shocking contrast, brought out the darker side in us all.
People have murdered for love, stolen, hurt, abused. Countless have died on the fanciful longing of a foolish leader in love. Love makes us foolish, blind and ignorant. It makes us defy our own morals and ideals, just for the slightest sign of affection or approval.

*Love can take many forms.
There is the love between friends, the love for a god, the love of family, the love of an object, or the like, and of course, the love shared between two people in a relationship.

*There is also unrequited love, which is the single most painful thing in the world.
There is also lost love, by which I mean two true lovers who are somehow separated unjustly. Time may have passed, whole continents may separate them, perhaps even death itself, but this love never forgets and thus, still mournfully aches.

*Love is foolhardy and irrational.
It makes no logical sense, to like a person so much so, that you become completely ignorant of their faults and would do absolutely anything if the other would approve.

*Love is a dangerous, dangerous thing. And too many have been hurt by it.

*And so, one wonders, why do we still crave it?

(The little *'s are like, the main points. This isnt much of an exact 'Love is this' type thing but obv. its hard to define it, so Im just writing down my ponderings. :)
An example of love?

Love

When you realize you want to be with someone forever. When you find something that you can not live without or ever wish to be without.

Dude,
I understand why you searched up love, but don't you know that no one understands it?

Love

Love is an intense word you use when you have a very emotional feelin for that special someone. It is a feelin you cant express to someone unless shown by the things you do. Love is the word you use when you wanna spend the rest of your life with that someone. Love is the feelin when you wanna spend every second with that him/her. Its the thought of doin the smallest things that make him/her feel like the most special person in the world. When you love someone you are willin to give the world for them. Love is when you are blind to everythin around you and all you notice is that special someone. Love is when you fight over things you cant spend more than a day to be mad becuz you just wanna be with them every moment you get. Even if you get into fights your love will overcome the angry you have and replace it with the thought of losing that special someone. You cant express love through words. You just have to show that someone that your willin to do anythin for them and show then that you have this insane affection for him/her. Love is when everytime you see this person you get butterflies in your stomach even if you have been together forever ! Love is when you kiss that person you cant leave their lips. Its when you have the same feelin you had for them when you first saw them. Love should never change. When you find that special someone keep that and dont ever let it go becuz its the most special affection youll ever have and when its gone youll kno what you been missin<3
