Love

Everybody has felt it at one time or another, be it for a person, pet or even a non-living object; that feeling is love. Love is felt in different intensities. It may consume your whole being or perhaps just a little crush. Some people search for what seem their entire lifetimes for love, while others may seem to fall in and out of love on a regular basis. We can love many things but the love between couple is unique and special.

Love is rarely defined because everyone experiences it differently. What one person thinks is love, another may think is infatuation or vice versa. How does one know he or she is in love? There are many ways or symptoms; one ordinary thing becomes romantic or special when a person is in love. But love is often confused with infatuation because it is so all-consuming. Lovers are usually on each other’s mind. A person may make decisions based on the other, say whether or not to move to a different location for a job or just simply to follow when the other move to a different location (I can so relate to this). People make large life decisions based on their partners because they can’t imagine life without those people. So consumed by it that can sometimes cloud their minds as to what the right decision may be. After all, love can be extremely selfless.

Romantic love can be compared as being like in drunkenness; like too much alcohol or happy drugs. Love takes over all senses in a person and somewhat changes his or her outlook. A person in love is often said to be all-smiles and is difficult to make unhappy. It is no wonder most people seek love. It is so overpowering; it has the emotional intensity that forever changes the simplicity of feelings we have for others.  That’s why friends who became lovers rarely can go back to being “just friends”.

We can not really understand love better. We experience it in different ways and may not agree with the definitions. In the end, it doesn’t matter whether or not your kind of love fits into any category. Love is personal, and the most important thing is that it makes people feel good. When people love each other, there is no room for hate.
