Love is when you sit beside someone doing nothing, yet you feel perfectly happy...
By no means am I an expert on love, but I have had my heart broken a couple times and there are things that I've learned each time. I feel like I've come to appreciate the word 'love' a little more and I've come to realize that when referring to people the word 'love' shouldn't just be tossed around in conversations carelessly. I’ve learned that love is an immeasurable force that we can’t force. I do believe that love sometimes makes you do things that you thought once you might not ever do (whether good or bad) Putting negative aspects aside, what does it really mean to me love someone?
Like i said I'm no expert but this is what love means to me...
Like i said I'm no expert but this is what love means to me...
1. Love means accepting a person as a whole; for all their traits whether good or bad.
2. Love means supporting this person in anything and everything, even when you may not completely agree (when I say everything and anything I mean things that are realistic and legal. This does not include any sort of criminal act...I think you know where I'm going with this)
3. Love means being selfless. When you love someone it's not just about you anymore, you have to think about the other person and take them into consideration. This sometimes requires sacraficing other things in order to be with this person.
4. Love means being loyal. Not looking for something better or seeing what's out there. It means comitting to that person because you know they complete you (how cliche of me to say lol).
5. Love means doing things for a person just to make them smile. Not becasue you feel you have to but becasue you genuinly want to.
6. Love means going out of your way for that person even if it's not convinient for you. Love isn't always convinient but if you do truly care about a person you will make it convenient.
7. Love means being able to be yourself around that person with no shame.
8. Love sometimes means waiting a long time for that person. Waiting for the timing to be right for the both of you.
9. Love means not needing constant contact, in person or via text, to feel secure. It means trusting them in every way possible.
10. Sometimes love means disappointment. It means broken hearts and red teary eyes. It means taking a shot on someone and being let down. It means learning the hard way that you can’t make someone love you.
11. Love means sticking by that persons side no matter how tough or stressful life gets, whether the issue has something to do with your relationship or whether its something outside the relationship.
What love doesn't mean is being a replica of another person, but rather being like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly together, because your traits complement each other to create better versions of you both.
What does love mean to you?
