What is love?
A common question asked by virtually every human being. We all seek this thing called love. But the answers we get vary vastly. From love is an emotion to love is a noun. Love of a mother to love of a friend. But what of the love between 2 individuals that drives them to create a bond in life everlasting? Is it biological or spiritual? Questions come about with answers uncertain.
In our culture, in our generation, in our society. We have been told that love is this and that. Love comes with certain actions or thoughts or words. There are principles, rules and regulations that are bound to represent what love is. I do not have a general answer but I do have an idea through my own experiences and from the stories of others.
I've dated a number of people in the search for an answer. I used these relationships as a set of experiments that is led towards a goal in mind. That goal is to be committed for life. But relationships fail one after another. Many mistakes we're made and made again just to be sure it was a mistake. But ultimately, the answer did not come from those relationships that I've failed at. It came from myself.
The failed relationships showed me many things. The operations behind dating and romance. Of person to person in building a connection. Most importantly, about myself. I found that one is unable to truly grasp the concept of love until you've learned to love oneself. Through loving oneself you build your abstract idea and answer to what love is. When you've learned to love yourself, you'll find that you seek for a relationship with better understanding to build upon this love that you've embraced. That is when I met her. This time it's wholesome and clear.
Currently I'm no longer seeking to understand love but to understand her as my lover. The feeling is phenomenal and beautiful.
So what is love? Well...
