What Is Love

Everybody wants and needs love, and everybody actually feels it and have it in so many different ways, but why can't we find a universal meaning for love. Each one of us has its own definition of love but what's right for someone might be totally wrong for another. And that makes me wonder, with all those interpretations and definitions, how could we really know if we are really in love or we are just in love with the idea of being in love?


Of course, I'm talking here about romantic love. We may feel or think that something is right but what if everybody finds it wrong, can it still be considered love? It's really true that love is blind, we get blinded by the feelings we have for that moment, and do things that we think is right, But when love decides to leave, soon we realize that all those things we used to believe to be right was just plain stupidity. Why could something so good could hurt so bad and why something so wonderful could break your heart into pieces? Yet, despite the pain and all the uncertainties, we sometimes tend to cling to love and forget to know when to say it's enough and let go.

One thing's for sure, love is complicated and mysterious, we can't fully define or understand it because it has its own reasons that no matter how hard we try, we can never fathom its depths. It's a gift that's given freely and we can never force it to stay. All we can do is to accept it when it arrives and let it go when it decides to leave. When it arrives, we might know how long it will stay, all we can do is cherish it while we still have it. It might not be always right but it will always give you memories that will last a lifetime. One day, when you look back, you can say to yourself, all the pain was worth all the happiness I had and you'll be more than enough willing to be in love all over again.
