What is love? Why do we love? And, how do we love? Is there a way we can find or describe love?
Well, I feel that “Love” is abstract and there is absolutely no one way to define it, do it or express it. Love is something out of ordinary and transpires differently. Though it is almost always comprehended as one force, it plays a distinguished role in people’s lives with different timelines, experienced exclusively by each leading to individual destinations. Some may find it early in life while for some it takes a lifetime but no matter when and how it comes, it is beautiful in its own way.
Love comes in unexpected ways in people’s lives. Love is like a swing which keeps oscillating constantly between comfort and pain, the crux being this blend which makes one comprehend the worth of what they have in their life. Love is weird and beautiful at the same time making it one of a kind and beautiful. Love is intense, deep affection and a feeling which is almost impossible to resist that you never knew existed in you. You do great things for love and cross the distance to the other side of your capabilities with such great warmth and tenderness which is miraculous given humans want everything perfect and fast in their lives.
Love isn’t restricted, it frees people, gives them the liberty to express themselves and gives a medium to give reality to their imagination. Love is admiration, fondness, a never-ending desire to want and wait till you get that. Often the desire dies out eventually with time, indicating that it is not love but just a mere desire. People are often confused about love but fail to appreciate its simplicity and further complicate it with our expectations. Love can truly be identified with no presupposition which is what makes it super hard but who said love would be easy? Love is often articulated as effortless and easy, in fact, it is that continuous effort of those people making it easy for each other.
Though love makes you come across great things in life, it has proven to destroy a few people in the past. Sometimes, love can consume you much without even you getting to know about it. It is a powerful energy which can impact people highly in both positive and negative ways. It is so powerful that sometimes you feel you can’t breathe, that your heart is crushed by a fork twisting perpetually, the world seems to stop and you are left with a harsh withered stillness in your life but this is when you come across the real power of love. It brings out the importance of the greatest love and the love story you will ever have, self-love. The irony being there is no love greater than self-love but it is the most neglected one too.
When we discover the power of self-love, it is then we see the potential of what it holds. Love can only be lived by people who love themselves and believe in carving their own understanding and challenging the old perceptions of love. Love transforms you and though you are scared, it teaches you to trust and give your most invaluable part to others and yourself again, your heart.
Well, this piece isn’t focused to entice you or scare you with the idea of love but to tell you that it isn’t what you see in the movies but what you live in reality. Love is different than what you see on social media, movies and pictures, the focus being the outcome but no one highlighting the actuality to experience it with all your heart.
Love is a constant stream of anticipation in life which ironically gives a sense of calmness and energy which will invigorate yet stabilize your actions in life. Never could it be described as silent as it comes with rush, excitement and a lot of vivacious spirit. It is an amalgamation of uncertainty, excitement, compassion, calmness and growth in your life which keeps you moving and learning, looking for more in life. Life is uncertain and sometimes following life’s way not knowing where it could lead us can work wonders for you. When you don’t know where you are going, trust life and let it take you where you are supposed to be. It will take time but it will make your heart smile when you least expect it to and fill life with purity, affection and peace in its own way. So, pause a little, live and keep your hearts wide open to let love find you. Love has many forms so stop defining it and expecting it a certain way and let time bring it to you as it is supposed to in your life.
Love has existed and evolved since life has taken its form on this planet yet it is something which is impossible to explain and has no definitive steps to be achieved. If people over these years couldn’t put it on paper in a single definition, who are we? Well, we can without a doubt tell the world our own version and story of love. Love can never be judged and no matter what it brings or how it comes into your life, you need to be open to feeling it as it is. It is an essence of life without which life would be just a blank sheet with no colours on it. Though sometimes the shades could get dark but remember you have a whole palette of bright colours to change that beautiful portrait representing your life. One experience cannot define your whole life so keep adding as many colours as you can and one day what you will have is a beautiful journey.
Love rebuilds you in a remarkable way. It allows you to fly with those shiny wings you always imagined as a child radiating brightness and glitter all over life. So, Go, love and laugh a little in life however and whenever it comes to you.
