    just some thoughts on love;

    I always write these corny weblogs, and it's all about love and such. I always say they're just quotes and such, but really? They're not.

    I was reading something the other day... It was like, greek mythology. It said that when man was first created, they had 2 heads, 4 arms, and 4 legs... One of the gods cut them in half, and told them that they will have to search for their other half for the rest of their lives. Some may find the other half, and some won't. I was completely amazed by this concept of love.

    Love is commitment. Love is life, if you miss out on love, you miss out on life.  It's important to us, because it's the closest thing we have to magic.

    I was reading something online, I'm not overly religious, but I saw this. It's completely true.

    Corinthians 13:4-8
    "Love is long-suffering and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails"

    I think love is when someone elses happiness is more important to you then your own. When you put that person above you, and everyone else. Thats love. I don't even think I can really define love to the degree that I really want to... All I know is that, I know what I feel, and thats whats most important. When you're in love, you just... know.

    According to dictionary.com Love means:
    Love –noun. A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

     

    My outlook on love is:
    - The feeling you get when you catch a glimpse of the person you long for, where you lose your breath and everything around you seems unreal and time seems to freeze. Where those few seconds in time, seem like an eternity.
    - Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give. Which is everything.
    - Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength... Loving someone deeply gives you courage.
    - It's means to do absolutely anything for that person, and expect the same in return.

    I was reading this one thing on the internet, of what people thought about love, and saw this response. It's completely one hundred percent true. This person honestly, must have been very wise.


    I don’t think you can ever truely define what love is. But I always try to think about it like this…Would you still want to be with the person you “love” if you could not physically touch them? If even holding hands was an impossibility, would you still want to be with them? There definitely must be some sort of love present if you say yes.
    - Alex.

    Anyways, I think i'm finished with this overly corny post for now :) I hope you's enjoyed it. Opinions? What do you think love is? I'd love to hear what you's have to say. And I hope I didn't scare too many people with my concept. haha. :)

    aww I love this post. I could relate to everything you said. Yeah my boyfriend drives me crazy and he always wants me around (which can be irritating sometimes...especially with his family) but he does always make stupid faces just to make me laugh.


    And yeah he will only act mushy when together alone and put up a tough front when he's with his friends, but even with friends he'll put his arm around me (his friends don't like to see us acting like boyfriend/girlfriend...haha).


    It will be four years in november but for some reason it feels like 5.


    You two are still in the early stages of the relationship. Enjoy every minute of it because you will never know when it might end.


    oh and tell him you love him everyday because you will never know if it will be the last time you tell him that you love him.


    ^_^

    I totally agree with your whole post. My guy I have been with a month has rocked my world. He has his issues, being 23 and me being 32, makes us very different. But I love those differences. I enjoy him, and he has come to need me. Love is grand!

    I agree with your post, I know I've felt this way when I dated my ex. I though he was the best thing since sliced bread.

    I loved him more then he could possibly know, but somewhere down the line it changed. For him and for me.
    We grew apart, him further than me. We ended up wanting two different things and it ended badly.

    I loved him, but the love I had for him is gone.

    It is very had to define love and perhaps there is many different type of love and different degrees. All I do know is as easy as it is to get it, it is just as easy to lose it (only difference is when you lose it... it hurts a lot more).

    yet, we continue to love and fall in love. Now, that is a beautiful thing.

    This is a great post. I can't really define love, though. Everyone sees it differently.

    Hope things work out for the best with you and your boyfriend. =]

    You are absolutely right. The person who wrote that is very wise. Touching someone has nothing to do with love. You love the person for the way they act, the way they say things, the little things they do that are simply endearring. You don't love someone because they're 'good in bed'. That's lust. You love them for them. Nothing else.


    Great post.(:

    long for, where you lose your breath and everything around you seems
    unreal and time seems to freeze. Where those few seconds in time, seem
    like an eternity.    "

    my personal view perfaps are the same, maybe with the eception of the above statement...

    i mean, that kind of feeling will fazed out with time, replaced with other type of loving feelings wrapping the relationship...
  • julianne_elise

    @joycemiles - I agree :)


    @maniacsicko - I think it's different for everyone, you just have to be able to keep that spark alive. :)
