My theory on love.
User Image
*yes i drew that, lol!

When I was about seventeen years old, I wrote this thing on love after weeks of asking questions, interrogations and gathering my thoughts.
so anyways..

Love; It's an inexplainable yet incredibly strong feeling for someone...Most people use the word "love" to get into someone else's pants.
Love is an overused word in today's society, people say they love someone because of the way they look or how they act. They get into a relationship without thinking about it thoroughly, which in the end, results in things they do not wish to seek.
Why? Because that isn't love. Love is when you can't do anything without thinking about that person, you always want to be with them. It's not that you want to have sex with them, you just want to spend time with them and you just want to hold them and never let go. Love can be fooling, you can think you're in love and it can lead to the most horrible feeling in the world. You can wait so long for someone, loving them, and waiting for them to love you back, but they don't return it.
For a long time you can spend years thinking and thinking and it tears you up inside. But if ever that person realizes that they love you back it's miraculous.

What is Love?

Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing? And is your voice caught within your chest?

It isn't love, it's like.

You can't keep your eyes or hands off them, am I right?

It isn't love, it's lust.

Are you proud and eager to show them off?

It isn't love, it's luck.

Do you want them because you know they're there?

It isn't love, it's loneliness.

Are you there just 'cause it's what everyone wants?

It isn't love, it's loyalty.

Do you stay for their confessions of love, because you don't wanna hurt them?

It isn't love, it's pity.

Are you willing to give all of your favorite things for their sake?

It isn't love, it's charity.

Are you there because they kissed you, or held your hand?

It isn't love, it's insecurity.

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?

It isn't love, it's friendship.

Do you tell them everyday they are the only one you think of?

It isn't love, it's a lie.

But do you accept their faults because they're a part of who you are? Do you see their true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts? Are you attracted to others, but stay with them faithfully without regret? Would you give them your heart, your life, your death and stay because a blinding incomprehensible mix of pain and elation pulls you close and holds you?
Now that's Love...

There is no such thing as love

so
love isn't even here anymore.

That was beautiful. Though I've had very little experience of love (once, unrequited), I can see what you mean here. You know what you're talking about.

all of those things you listed are what make love, love ;)

the only people who are truly in love with each other are those elderly couples who still choose to be with one another after decades, and even so i would have to say that over the course of those decades, what they had finally blossomed into love or it's most unfiltered definition

love is inherently a power struggle, on who loves who most - if one person loves their partner more than their partner loves them, chances are their partner will have total control over the relationship because they're able to play by their own rules without having to worry about the other person as much as the other person worries about them, and because of it you could even say that the less involved person has the other person on a subtle, invisible leash

people are weird, nobody is alike, everybody has their morphed perception of love and they see it like they do because their life events made it what it is to them, even those that have never been in love

it's a terrible emotion, kind of like a drug as overused as that is, because in 90% of the cases it will give you a temporary high where you will be in complete euphoria and later down the line you will be completely miserable and wishing you hadn't done what you had done, possibly to screw it up, and you wish that you could go into the past and change your life's events so that you never took that first wrong step to ******** the relationship up, but again it has a 90% chance of happening

not enough people realize that no matter what somebody says or promises you on how they're going to be there forever and no matter how differently you perceive what you have with somebody from everybody else, on how your relationship is going to be different because it's real love and all of that stuff, it's just a lie you're telling yourself, because they and it probably won't be

it comes down to whether or not people choose that temporary euphoria that can possible last for years only to have it come crashing down to where you will have to live with yourself and be miserable, possibly isolating yourself from friends and family.. i think everybody should be in love once as how they see it, and if it works for their entire life then good for them, but if it fails then you just learned probably the most important aspect of life because love is everywhere around you and it's not a good idea to be naive with humanity's most dangerous emotion. everybody needs their "heart broken" once because life is everything but romantic, and in the end you're going to hurt yourself. but, again, it's entirely up to the person on whether or not that eventual pain is worth being with that person you love.

sorry for writing this novel on a random journal entry, god i am just so bored D:

No offense,
but I disagree with all of this.

Love all around has no explanation no matter how hard you analyze it.

That's my theory.

@Sarah
That's fine!
I tend to write things out when I'm feeling lost and confused, doing so was kind of therapeutic for me. To me, this makes sense, and I need to make sense of things to be able to get on with other things. c:

I respect your opinion though.

I think this was utterly beautiful. I don't dissagree with it, but I think things like caring for someone, being loyal to someone, and wanting to kiss someone can constitute being love (of course if you have the very very last one you have listed as love). Such as I could kiss anyone, but I personally only want to kiss the people I love. or I am only loyal to people I trust, and I trust the person I love. I guess that's what you'd call a good love to have all those things with it. I will forever be in love with someone I can never be with, I think about them every single day so much so that its something I pass off as a daily ritual like brushing my teeth or something. It's been this way for two years. It's inexplicable, it's just love. You are a very deep person I admire that.

I think love is somewhat more complicated, individual, and tied up with all of those "nots" than this would seem to give it credit for. But it is quite sweet and seventeen. razz
