What is love? The detailed explanation.

I’ve discovered that love is something everyone experiences, no matter how old you are, what you look like, what you do, what you don’t do, how you act, what you say, and what you don’t say.

Everyone is so different but we all feel, we all hurt, we all smile, and we all love. A couple gets together and they say they’ve fallen in love with each other. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it isn’t..sometimes it lasts, sometimes it doesn’t.

I believe that sometimes love fades, reality kicks in, things start to hurt, and relationships end. People have so many different relationships, because they require more than love. Some people tend to have short ones, some have super long ones, but they’re still a relationship. One of the hardest parts about relationships is learning to let go. Not everything is meant to last forever, but just because it isn’t doesn’t make it any less incredible.

Every single person who comes in and out of your life was there for a reason to mold you into the person you’re supposed to become. It’s amazing.. no one said love was easy, but it’s always worth it. But it brings vulnerability and fear, because love is the strongest emotion..it can bring so much pain.

The thing to learn about pain in life is that you can’t avoid it, and you can’t hold grudges and still be happy, you just have to let it happen and learn to cope on your own and become stronger. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes things don’t make sense, you might want someone back no matter how much you know you’ll never get them back. Or you might miss someone who left you for someone else. But in the long run, if you learn to handle everything with the attitude of knowing that the best is yet to come, you can make it through anything.

Some things really are better left unsaid, some memories are best kept in the past, some feelings are best to just let fade, but sometimes love is meant to be followed. There’s an old quote that says “Never let yourself get used to missing someone.” You have to learn to follow your heart and your brain, know what is best for you but know what you feel to. You have to decide if certain things are worth the pain, or if some people are best left forgotten. But that’s the beauty of love, it’s an adventure, and you don’t know what it leads to. No one has the same definition of love. But a good point to remember is no matter who’s life you have an affect on, to make it positive.

Yesterday is already gone and chances have already been lost, and some things will never be discovered, but what your future holds is not just life, it’s a choice..to make your life exactly what you want it to be with exactly who you want it to be with.
