Everyone in the world has a different definition of love. You can love one person, break up, and find yourself falling in love with someone different. And although it's the same emotion, the way you feel it is completely different. You can fall in love with 50 people in your life, and each time, the feelings you have will be different.
I recently had a conversation with my housemate about our definitions of love (I might add that by love, I'm talking about the romantic kind of love). We realised that some people see it as you fall in love, and instantly want to spend the rest of your life with that one person. I don't agree that that's the case. So here's a little list of what love is for me.
Love is having that one person on your mind constantly, if only at the back of your mind.
Love is wanting to spend time with that person, and finding yourself getting a little excited when you speak to them.
Love is wanting to see them happy, no matter how that happens. Whether it's to do with you, or through a hobby of theirs. And finding joy in their happiness.
Love is having a constant feeling of content in your life, knowing that this one person can make you so happy.
Love isn't wanting to be together forever, but not wanting there to be an end to it anytime soon.
Feel free to leave your own definitions below, I'd be interested to see how other people feel!
The first thing I think is important is that you love yourself. That you accept yourself how you are, flaws and all. The only way you can have the love of someone else is to love yourself first.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! If you don't love and respect yourself, a relationship won't work at all! x
