So, I made an essay on love when I was 10, or three years ago, it was actually quite intresting for someone who didn't comprehend love at the time.
Oh my, I could not spell or use grammar three years ago. T.T
What is love? Some people know it as a choice; is it really? Do you choose who you love? Do you choose why? Do you choose when? No, in my eyes love is not a choice. Then, some others say, it is a strong emotion towards a person. This isn't true either. An emotion is a reaction to a certain event; which love is not. When I have stated this infomation before others they have given me the same reply "You'll understand when your older" or "Your to young to understand love." this is also not true. A persons maturity is not judged by there age but what they have been put through and exposed to. For example, a five year old could be more mature than a 32 year old man; depending on what they have been put through. However, the mind of a child is very difrent from that of an adult. Which leads me to my next point... crushes. By dictionary defintion a crush is "A strong -often silly- liking for another person." I agree with this completly. A crush is often mistake -Usually by a child- as love. Well, it is not love. It is a liking towards another person that is so often mistaken for love. I do not believe in crushes because of this. So now you might say "Well then how can you love?" my reply is simple. Crushes and love are two seperate things. There are other ways to love than through a crush. There is also; Love by friends, Love by birth -Usually love for a mother or father(like characters) or sibling-; Love by site -Sometimes known as love at first site-; Love by kindness -Usually how relationships or friendships start; and finally, Love by Love. Love by Love is the most complicated. It would be hard to explain so I will try my best. It is when one person loves another and by reaction, the other loves the first person back. So my next topic goes into, what do you think of love? I think of love not as a choice, a emotion or a powerful crush but as a way of life. Love is so hard to explain for me I would blow my head off trying. Now I have only one more topic left so I will go on. This is the part where everyone says "Your to young." well, I am not go back to the kid and the man I wrote earlier. This topic is: Sex. Does having Sex with someone make you love them? No, having sex with someone just means you can have sex with them. Of course, sex is often a practice of lovers, but it does not mean love. Sex is just the process of getting a woman pregnant. It wasn't a practice for fun until "Protection" was invented. To summarize this all. What is love? Is what we know as love really love and if not what is it? Crushes arent love, they are just an illusion of love. So what is love?
Now, after expieriencing love, or atleast what I precieve to be love, I don't agree with all I said back then. Love is diffrent for every person but I believe that there is a person for everyone no matter what and that your fates are inter-twined. I believe if you kill yourself, so will they. Without even being aware of this. But, I also believe that rules are meant to be broken and fate is a rule.
Now for love itself; Perhaps it is diffrent for everyone, I certainly know what I feel when around this person. It isn't like I feel diffrent or unusual, it's odd. It's like the feeling you get when you come home from a long day at work and sit on the couch. That feeling of being where or with whom you belong. It's very hard to explain, it is like when I am around this person I can barely think of my troubles and they are all that is on my mind. I don't care about sex or lust or anything like that. All I care for is to hold them and embrace them lovingly as if that was the only thing I knew how to do.
Next question, do you believe in online relationships? I'd be a hypocrit if I said no, because I have participated in them before and will argue strongly against someone who says that you need to feel them to love them. Sure typing, "*kiss*" is diffrent than actually kissing but if you truely love eachother you will get the same result. A sharing of your passion, your love. Love is not for the body, the feel or the lust but for the person they are, which is why I argue, in some ways it is better to have an online relationship. Assuming you are both willing to meet in person at a certain point and have varified proof that the other is who they claim they are.
Well, this will certainly spark much debate, I'm sure. Because as I said before, I think everyone has a diffrent perception of what love is to them.
So read, reply, debate but please no flaming and keep an open mind.
