Falling in Love and Its Consequences

We have all at least once fallen head over heels over someone. Falling in love i such a wonderful experience. It gives birth to strange desires. When the person in question appears all sorts of jolt are felt. The body itself responds differently and one has to wonder how a person can cause so much reactions to another one.

Falling in love is definitely magic. The world seems to lighten up all of a sudden. Life seems wonderful and even the worst chores seem a delight. One can’t help smiling all day long when your heart is so full of love. However when we let love into our life, we also have to accept the strings attached to it.

Love. Four letters which can create havoc in one’s life. Love, which sometimes lead to heart break and in some cases to death. Many who have been unlucky in love find it so difficult to live that they simply end their days. Love is supposed to be so pure and magical then why is it associated with death? Yes, I know what the answers will be. I have been through all that myself. I remember the pain I felt on learning that my recently ex-boyfriend was already dating someone else. It was like a dagger piercing through my chest, plunging into my heart and turning upon itself to send the worse pain ever to my chest. Yes, I do know the pain of being lovelorn. Yes, I know how much I wanted to end my life right then. I remember not being able to cry right then. I remember not being able to swallow the tiniest piece of food that night. Oh yes, I still remember that after five years. It felt like the world had stopped around me. I felt the need to cry out my pain yet I simply could not.

Ironically, that same guy who killed my love is my husband now and is so loving and caring that I wonder if my heart break was not just a test. Test of love because had I not experience such a heart break I ask myself at times if I would have understood the value of what I have today.

Maybe that’s what falling in love and heart break is all about. Tests to make sure we deserve what we crave for or maybe it is just the fact that this is the only one thing humans cannot control no matter how hard they try. All we have to do is fall in love and silently accept the consequences, whether good or bad.
