Even though “Love” is an emotion, it is packed with so many other emotions it can be overwhelming. Since so many different relationships create different “love” emotions.

As a child we have our relationship with our parents, who we love, and as we grow up, we experience anger, hate, and dislike just to names a few. If we have siblings of course we love them, but they bring along other emotions such as jealousy, or the feeling that one is loved more than the other. Usually the older sibling you hate, because they are allowed to do things that you are not, and if you have younger sibling you hate them because you may have to baby-sit them, and watch your words and actions around them. Yet we love them all.

As a teenager we truly cannot get along with our parents we think they are nosy, getting into our business, we become angry and disgruntled because they “dictate” to us what we have to do, and tell us when to be home and we have to ask for permission. We find all these things annoying; you know we are sixteen, we know what we are doing.

Soon we get a boyfriend, we are so in love, and they are handsome. We think everything they do is so nice and they make us the happiest we have ever been in our life. Then we have the break ups, the anger, the loneliness or a feeling of worthlessness. They we have the phase of boyfriends, and ex-boyfriends; or girlfriends and ex-girlfriends, which is truly a roller coaster, a ride for in the mist of our love life. If a boy leaves you or cheats on you, then the overwhelming of anger and jealously along with the losing trust.

By the time we are twenty-one years old, your love emotions involved so many other emotions that it sometimes becomes hard to decide what and how you feel at times. Eventually you meet the one you marry, and he truly makes you the most happiest person in the world, as you prepare to get married, you experience excitement as well as fear. You are hoping your making the right decision, and you worry yourself needlessly.

Parenthood brings along more excitement, but then the realization that you responsible for an individual, from that point to the day you die, this little person who is growing inside you; will be yours forever.

Now your married, a mother or father, and you have your own parents who want your attention, now you start feeling resentful, toward the baby because your so darn tired; toward you parents because they want to see you more often. You begin to feel there is not enough time in a day, your angry, frustrated and stressed.

As your parent grow they depend on you; there are times that they snicker at you, making you angry, because the things they use to tell you not to do; you’re now telling your children. As you watch your children grow up, you become sentimental you wish you could go back in time, to a time as a kid or teenager; over time you look back and wish you could cradle your children again. If you worked too much, as your children grew up, then you may suffer regrets; or you may not have gotten to care for your parents as you wished you could, again regrets.

Then your teenager comes to you; they tell you how nosy you are, and disgruntled because you won’t let them spend the night at a friends’ you barely know. Your unfair they shout as they slam the door; you hear them on the telephone telling their friend how they hate you and they want to move out, and that parents just don’t understand.

Your life comes full circle, and you look back as you hold your grandchild.

All the emotions that surround us when we are in love, have family and friends; and right to the end when life is over. The emotion of ”Love” never stops; it merely changes, through the years.
