Love, it's a word that can oftentimes be difficult to define. It can mean so many different things to many people. If you ask someone to define it, he or she may have a different interpretation on what it is. Yet, it is really hard to zone in on a simple definition or statement of what love actually means. If you think about it, we are in search of someone to fill the void that is missing in one's heart. For some people, that void has already been filled, but for others, he or she is still in search of that one person who can fill that empty spot in their own heart. Every person wants that type of love that will last a lifetime and not the type of love that is temporary, which makes that void in his or her heart even bigger.
Thinking about it, love is a word that certain people hate to hear due to his or her past experiences. When one hears that word that person associates it with betrayal and/or dishonesty. It's from there a person will inevitably hold back and/or limit just how much he or she will allow feelings of love for the particular person to surface. It basically comes down to trust issues with one's own heart and primarily taking that wall down, which will leave a person truly happy or sad in the end. Though a person can hide the love that one feels for someone, it can't be suppressed or it will burst like a volcano. Love will make you sick and no matter how hard you try to avoid it, a person will get bitten by that proverbial love bug.
Let me ask you something, do you absolutely know the feeling of true love? That type of true love where you are with someone, you feel like there is no one else in the world but you and that person. For one's surroundings are inconsequential and merely a part of the background to your own fairy tale setting, so to speak. We've all had that feeling and it's that whirlwind roller coaster that can bring either bliss and/or insanity to his sometimes confusing phenomenon known as love. It's truly unpredictable and it can strike any time, any place, and anywhere. Ultimately, each of us will hold on to that feeling and never want to let it go; but no matter how tight one holds on it can slip through our fingers like grains of hands.
Although love is painful and sometimes you just want to give up on ever finding it, it doesn't die. Crushes, infatuations, lusts, adoring someone from afar do die and are types of feelings that will fade away like a sunset. Yet, the one thing that never fades away or dies is true love; for it is never ending. It's subsequently infinite and it's been said when you are there for someone without him or her asking you to be there, it shows a strong bond of affection for that person or vice versa. True love is giving yourself up to him or her even though that person may push you away at first either physically or emotionally. In the end, you have to realize sometimes one must give up our own happiness in order to make someone else happy and that my friend is an act of selflessness that is considered to be the ultimate sacrifice.
I end this with a quote which says~"Love and relationships are truly one of the most paradoxical aspects of being human. For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace its power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join two souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power everlasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.~
