What is love? Why does it make us
feel the way that we do? Why is it that when we are near someone that we truly
love we feel both contentment and, in some cases, a burning fire of passion?
Why is it that only few seem to meet our standards of love? Why does love feel
sooooo good and yet when its gone it hurts like hell? Why is it that we fall in
love? Why can't we fly? Why...
Wait I know what you're thinking...
"Oh my God what is with this chick and her questions? Oh. My. God. Now I'm
asking them." Yes, I know, I can get a little annoying... "Ha! A
little annoying! That's an understatement." Okay, Okay, I get it, but
please hear me out on this one. "Okay. Fine." Thank you.
What is love? Well by definition it
is a strong feeling of affection and even attraction. Though some might say
other wise, like it is a feeling of compassion and contentment, or it is the
driving force behind the beating of our hearts, the burning passion that
enlightens our soul, and the wind beneath our soaring wings as we fall
gracefully into the arms of one another. Well love can be all of these, but I
think that all of that was just a little bit too poetic for some so I will turn
it down and put it in other, more simpler terms. Love is something that we feel
when we like someone else very strongly. Sometimes love can be blind, deaf, or
even immobile, but that doesn't mean that its not love. Love is something that
can be mistaken for other things, but if it's true and real, *slight smile*
you'll know.
Why does it make us feel the way
that we do? Well we feel this way due to the chemicals in our brains, but I
sure as hell I'm not going to go into that. What I do know is that we feel the
way we feel because we really and truly love that person. The way that we want
to stay enveloped in some one's arms or how we get butterflies when you see
your "crush" walk by (I bet you just thought of that person, didn't
you?). Yes, we are human and we feel these things even when we really really
don't want to. So let those feelings fly.
Why is it that only few seem to
meet our standards of love? This all depends on who you are and what your
background story is. I can't tell you much other than once you find out what
makes you "tick," I guess you can say, you won't really know the
answer.
Why does love feel sooooo good and
yet when its gone it hurts like hell? This is because we become attached to the
person that we love. We tend to become so attached that when we are forced to
detach, heck even the mere thought of it, puts us in emotional distress and
turmoil. In layman's terms, we become heartbroken. We feel the emotional pain
and the physical pain that sometimes comes along with it. We are humans that
can't function in the world alone. We can't stand to be lonely. That is why we
make friends, date, and are social. It is because we are social creatures and
to be isolated is to be put in the deepest darkest regions of hell its self. No
self-help book can truly tell you otherwise. Yes, you can be single and not
mingle, but are you really alone, even in the lowest part of your life? No,
because you have friends and family that is there for you as well. A significant
other is just someone who is there for you in all emotional ways. It's okay to
be single though because like they say love is a roller coaster, you just have
to get on for the ride and hang on.
Why is it that we fall in love? Why
can't we fly? I guess in some ways you do both in love. We "fall" for
one another and we feel so high on the dopamine in our brain that is causing us
to feel so happy when in love that we feel as though we are "flying."
So why fall? Well love can be like a roller coaster, like I said before, and
with all roller coasters there are ups and downs. Now we feel as though we are
"falling" in love because when around your significant other you feel
light, happy, and excited, are we not? Well all of that is like when you are
going down a big hill on the thrill ride. Your stomach stinks to your feet as
your heart races much faster than normal, though these feelings are more so out
of fear of falling and the anticipation of that long drop. So how does fear and
love relate? Well the fear of loosing your significant other can also have a
roll in feeling as though you have fallen in love because that ominous fear of
loosing the other person in your life can trigger the same type of feelings
though this can also be because you have broken your heart before and you're
scared that you will do it again.
