Day Five- Your Definition of Love: In Great Detail.

I foresee a lot of clichés in this posts future.

Love is nice. Love is amazing. Love is breathtakingly nice and amazing. I believe love is a state of mind as much as a feeling expressed towards others. Love is not caring how you appear to others. Judgment goes out the window.  All that matters is those two people being together. When I love someone, I go out of my way to think of their feelings. It’s no longer about just you. Love is more than a physical attraction. It is being on the same wave length. Love is hard. Love is not for those who give up easily. It requires patience. It is not something you can turn off. It is when someone gets you unlike anyone you’ve ever known. If you love someone, I believe you have to at least give it a chance or you will always regret it. Love is finding someone who shares your morals. You don’t have to have had the same upbringing or the same favorite color, you just have to accept someone. I think that is so huge. To be willing to overlook the flaws in someone, merely because the good things overshadow the bad. Nowadays people confuse love with sex. I think they are wrong. Though I find nothing wrong with two people in love having sex, I don’t think having sex makes someone fall in love with you. Love consists of so many emotions there is no way you could list them all. Love is a promise. Love hurts. It’s sticking by someone when they are down. And having someone who would do the same for you. Love is possible at all ages. It’s telling someone everyday how you feel, because you never know when they won’t be there anymore. Love is not being able to control your emotions, and not understanding why you do things. It sucks when it is over and leaves you helpless and longing for more.
Unfortunately, I have just at the ripe age of seventeen come to realize what all love is, and what it entails.
I wish I had realized this sooner.
peace
