Love..

What is it with this obsession with love? I can’t really say much about it, since I’ve never actually experienced being in love myself, but you look around and you can find so many people who just seem so madly in love with each other. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, but why is it that we can’t explain it; how it happens. You would think that something so special would need to have a solid meaning to it, but what’s the beauty of that? If you can’t have something unique that only you could understand, or maybe not even understand yourself, then why bother? Imagine how horrible it would be to be told how to love someone. Having no choice of how you feel towards someone, but a forced feeling that you must feel, because if not, it’s not love. This is maybe why so many people can relate love to a sense of freedom. You go along with it, and you just know when it’s love. Well, this is at least what I believe it is, although I can’t really know yet. What I really don’t understand, and hope to never understand, is hatred. How in anyone’s right mind could someone hate someone? Hate is such a strong word, a strong feeling; it’s so intense, just saying it fills my head with dark images. How? Why? Is it really possible for someone to do something so bad that it makes someone hate them? Although our world is filled with more love than hate (I will explain why I believe this in a moment), this evil feeling seems so much stronger, and sometimes can overpower what is good, which is probably where all the world’s violence comes from. Now, for what I said before, about there being more love than hate, here is my reasoning. It may seem that there is a lot of evil and violence because that is practically the only thing they show on the news. What we don’t see every day on TV, though, is the all the love that family members have for one another, or all the happiness in a friendship; all the kisses you give to that one special person, and the hugs you receive from a younger sibling. This love can definitely overpower all the hatred, if you have enough of it in your life.

What I love about love (:P) is how you can make it anything you want it to be. Sometimes I wish that I could peek into a person’s life and know how they feel whenever they look at the one person they love. Someday, I’ll know, hopefully, and when I do, I don’t want to have to be able to explain what it’s like. The feeling of love is just for that one person, to hold and cherish just for their own personal satisfaction. The closest thing I have that relates to being in love is my passions. Whenever I have the chance to participate in an activity involving these passions, I want to do them at the very best that I can. They are my passions because I… well, because I have such a passion for them. Yeah, I know that I may not seem to be making sense, but that is the entire point. Love, passion, happiness, good; they aren’t supposed to make sense. They don’t need an explanation because you just know when you have something good in front of you. If you realize that what you have is love, then that’s all you need to know. You don’t have to worry about why it’s there or how it got there; just knowing that it exists is comfortable in itself.

So why am I writing about a subject that I know nothing of? Honestly, I can’t answer that myself. I’m just basing all this information on the things that I believe to be true. But love just seems to be so intriguing. You can fall so easily into it as you can walk away from it. One thing I have never been able to understand is how it’s possible for two people to fall out of love. The only reasonable answer that I can come up with for that is they were never in love in the first place. I just don’t think it’s emotionally possible to be deeply in love with more than one person. My belief is that you have a soul mate, a person who is always there, and yet you can never get sick of them. Nowadays, love just seems to be a game; it’s all done in vain. People go off and get married to then ask for a divorce less than a year later. Then there are the situations that have to do with abuse. You think you’ve found the perfect person, and the next thing you know, they’re hurting you; physically, emotionally, and mentally. I bet there are some people out there who don’t even know what love feels like, because they grew up in an environment that didn’t experience anything like that. Probably not even knowing it, they abuse this emotion, and in situations like these, families can be broken apart, friendships lost. Love is so complex, and at the same time can seem so simple. Some people just make it seem like the easiest thing on earth, like breathing or blinking. Then other people could make you believe that it’s just not possible to fall for anyone. I’ve never had my doubts, because it is such an overpowering sensation that can change the way you think and feel in a matter of seconds.There’s a part of a song that I can immediately relate to love. The song is called “Say It Again” by Marie Digby. The song says:

“The thing about love is I never saw it coming.
It kind of crept up and took me by surprise.
And now there’s a voice inside my heart, it’s got me wondering.
Is this true? I wanna hear it one more time.”

Love is so unexpected; it creeps up and takes you by surprise. It just happens, and thats one of its many thrills. It’s exactly like a roller-coaster ride; goes up and down with some twists and turns, but that’s what makes it even better in the long run. You’ll be left wanting more.
