What Is Love?
Victoria | Apr 23, 2010 | Comments 2
I find the definition of love to be confusing sometimes. I’m not even in high school but I hear all these young couples constantly saying to each other “I love you, sweetie!” or texting “luv u”. To me that is not love. That is something you say on the spur of the moment because your significant other said it. You dont want to hurt their feelings by saying, “I wish I could say those words back, but I can’t.”
To me, love would seem to be when you are ready to share your whole life with a person, let them know all of your secrets and express yourself in ways you yourself didn’t even know how. So I want to know, what is true love? How do you know when you have it? How do you to look for it? Is love something you may come just across once in your lifetime?

Hi victoria, i love your artical on ‘what is love’ . I personally think that love will come once in a while but you decide who and when that is
Love is not some in depth conspiracy that should only be said when you finally decide you feel like this person may be “the one”. It’s just not that intense. Love is everywhere, & people don’t say it enough. My best friend? I love her! I tell her all of the time! My brothers? My sisters? I love them, too. I tell them nonstop. Boyfriends when I had them {i’m married now} – I loved them, too! Even at your age. Did I think I would spend forever with them? Pshhh, no. It was a nice idea, but I knew we were too young for forever. But if I loved them, I told them. Maybe it would appear to be too nonchalant, but it was the truth. & tomorrow is never promised. Just the other day, I read an article written by a complete stranger – a woman who lost her husband while serving our country in Afghanistan. Her story touched my heart, & I just felt nothing but love for this young woman afterward. So, along with praise & encouragement, I told her “I just love you!” =) Love is love, & there’s just not enough love expressed in this world anymore. Don’t wait around to express love, because tomorrow is never a guarantee & you never know how much joy you might bring into someone’s day with that simple little phrase.
This was a very cute article. &I’m not here to crush dreams or bury fairytales… I’m just telling you what I wish an older, wiser young lady had done for me a long time ago. Take care, chicky. Love ya! XO! =)
