DAY 21: Write about LOVE

First of all, what the hell is love? It's not the same thing as 'like', that's for sure. Is loving a drug? Like could you love someone so much you become addicted to that person? Or is love only a good thing? 

By definition, love is "an intense feeling of deep affection." But is that affection affecting you in any way? I'm sure we've all heard the saying "love is blind", and that is very very true. I just learnt that when you love someone, or just have a crush on them, you perceive them as this perfect person, you forget about the flaws, or you just don't see them. 

Love can be freaking dangerous that way. 

The next question: is love unconditional? Well, if we take its true meaning, then yes, love is in fact unconditional. But I guess you could love someone temporarily, until they betray you, or break your trust. If they do, your love for them just won't be the same. 

Love can be complicated that way. 

Do I believe in true love? Yes. But it doesn't happen to everyone. Sure, you can get married, never get divorced, but you may not be compatible, as some people would say. Like, you can tell if two people are compatible or not. I'll be completely honest: my parents are not compatible, like at all. Though they manage to tolerate each other, it's just not true love. I know a few of my parents' friends that are compatible though :)

You can also feel love as friendship. Love your best friend especially. It's not that you would die for them, well you would, but you would do that for someone you don't actually love ('love is blind'). No, loving friendship-wise would mean being there for that person, accepting this person's flaws, feeling attached to them, actually needing them (you don't just want them, you practically need them, but you have to understand the difference). 

Love can be nice that way. 

I would also like to say that personally, love scares me. I'm scared of loving and losing. I'm scared of not loving properly. What if I love too much? What if I don't love enough? Does that make me lose the one I love?

Love is terrifying that way.

I was trying to write this to make it as inspirational as possible. What do you guys think?

See ya in day 22 :)
