Wow, loaded question. To me love is a lot of sublime pain. It takes you to the heavens and sometimes it lets you free fall and hit the ground.
Love is Fire. You never know if it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house.
2 me love is a deep connection emotion thay u cant live without that person is always on ur mind worried about u can trust talk 2 u feel very comfortable when ur stressed or down u c their face and the room lights up heart starts 2 race ur stomack tingles and u can always count on them when u get in this stage ur outlook on life changes plus u change 4 the better and when their hurting u hurt its like u 2 turn into 1 person and its the best and happiest feeling u get and need 2 hold on
A peace of mind... its just that simple. (smile).
but thats what it means TO ME.
I AM A CHILD OF A DIVORCE AND IT REALLY HAS HURT ME BECAUSE MY PARENTS DO NOT GET ALONG AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO CHOOSE WHO TO LOVE SOMETIMES. ALSO I FEEL LIKE HOW WOULD EIGHT KIDS DEAL WITH THIS NOT HAVING BOTH PARENTS AND HOW WOULD YOU SHOW LOVE TO ALL OF THE KIDS AND HOW WOULD YOUR KIDS MAKE IT WITH YOU ALWAYS GOING OUT OF TOWN.
Qverb pretty much nailed it. The definition varies so much from person to person, it's the goal to find someone who you can find that definition together from then till the end of your time on this Earth! I just wanted to say too, that if I truly knew I wouldn't BE single & I'd write a self-help book & be richer than Buffett!!!!!!! =)
Wow...its funny how the way I define love has changed over the years. I can remember when love was it. Love conquered all. All you need is love. There was no problem that love couldn't handle. Now? Love, deeply committed love, is a choice.
You can fall in love, but you won't stay in love unless you work on it. Its essential in a relationship, even though it gets taken for granted on occasion. You can be with someone for decades and always love them but not be in love with them all of the time. Like the tides, it flows and ebbs, sometimes as full of fire and passion as the first time you felt it, and other times simple and plain and comforting like your favorite comfort food or a blanket freshly laundered. Love will challenge who you are and what you believe in as you work through its highs and lows. Love is a challenge, beckoning you like a sirens call and then sometimes staying just out of reach like a will-o-wisp. Love is the highest devotion, to love honestly, truly, and as hard as you can each day.
To me, love is all of these things and more. It is a deep commitment, one that needs to be recommitted to often. Its varied, at once all encompassing and laser focused. I know what it is to truly be in love with someone and committed to them, when I desire to do what is best for them above and beyond my needs, when I know that person is someone tuly worth fighting with for the rest of my life. (thanks for that one Lyz) Beyond that, I'm at a loss for any better way to define it. Love is an experience, and experiences can be damnably hard to quantify or define. Its an ongoing process, the pursuit of which enhances all aspects of my life as I understand it better.
To me love is wanting the best for the one you love, putting their happieness before your own. Even if them being happy does not include you right then. Love is the comfort of knowing you will never leave them lonely and they will never leave you. Love is the passion that keeps burning and gets stronger through the years. Love is happieness, pain, trust and betrayal and working through it growing together for all time.
To me love starts with a feeling and is held together by a commitment. It is impossible to expect the feelings of love to be present day in and day out, those are the days where the commitment comes into play. But those feelings happen more deeply from the commitment than from the emotions. I love my husband so much more now, 4 years into our marriage than I did when we were dating and had fluttery feelings for him everyday.
to me love is not being able to go a few hours without being able to think about her,picturing your life with her befour it begins,never giveing up no matter wat happens,not being able to picture you life without her..........not being able to live without her,putting her need's & wants befour your's......i will never give up on us carissa i love you ALWAYS&FOREVER........................
