What is Love?

Ask anyone these days and everyone seems to know the correct answer to that. Ask a kid and he would say the “girl in his class”, ask a teen and they would say it’s a “roller-coaster ride”, ask an adult, he’d say it’s about “compromise and sacrifice”, ask an old couple what love is, and they would definitely say it’s “the rush they still feel seeing each other after years” of marriage and togetherness.

Well we all have our definitions of love for sure, but the thing to notice is that love is sweeter that any candy in the world and at the same time it is also as sour as it is sweet. But its love’s bitter-sweet taste that we all yearn for.
This raw feeling, this rare jewel that we all want, what are the qualifications to get this? Many people compare what others feel and how they got their love and try to get it the same way. If not that they have a pre conceived notion about what love is through movies and novels. Though some novels do depict the true meaning of it but still it isn’t perfect.

Love cannot be understood through movies and novels, it’s not about understanding at all. It is about feeling something that you haven’t felt before. Love, I would say, is the most misunderstood feeling there is. A lifetime goes by and people still don’t know what love truly is. It is not something to throw away if you don’t get it or leave when it gets difficult, it’s just about finding ways to make the person’s life better who matters the most to you. Love is beyond gifts and special days, it’s a feeling like no other.

After years of togetherness people fall apart because it is difficult, because it is not working out. But I would say true love works out in itself. It works out because of the efforts those two people give in. it is no different than a flower, it needs nurturing and nourishing. You cannot expect anything without efforts. Nothing happens without working towards it. Sure it takes its time but the best part about it is that the time spent in growing it, is the most amazing time spent in your life.

Love is the “girl in your life” who matters to you, it’s the “roller-coaster ride” you both share, the ups and downs both go through while holding each other’s hand, its “the compromise and the sacrifice” you make bring a smile on your beloved’s face (and the thing is, what people think you are compromising and sacrificing it’s not at all a compromise, it’s what love is all about) and in the end love is feeling the same rush that you felt the first time when you met and will meet over and over again for the rest of your life!"
Strengthen Your Love & stay blessed.
