Must be love, right?
We all have witness the “perfect love” being shown on the big screen and for one or the other reason we imagine that being “us” or even going to the so far of wanting for just that kind of relationship, affectionate moment or love. In the movies it usually goes down a little something like this; man meets woman, they immediately have that unexpected, unforgettable and sometimes unwanted deep connection. Then, throughout the process/story they have various obstacles come their way, but at the end of it all, they always overcome them as well as realize, that specific person is their key to happiness and therefore have that so called “perfect” happy ending…so, that must be love right??!! That’s how love is, right?
Now, let us leave the world of perfect lightening, well casts characters/roles and most of all well writing and indeed inspiring love stories and bring in some truth and/or reality of life.
On the regular you meet someone and you like what you are seeing, but not sure if they are what you are really searching for at that particular time in your life or you do not really know what to search for, but nevertheless, you will eventually give him/her your number for the simple reason; you do not want to miss out on your opportunity of finding that soul mate you have been searching for your whole life.
At this point, you have given him/her your number and then it gets tricky, because even before they call you, you have already started picturing the following; when is it appropriate from him/her to call you for the first, should they follow the so-called “three day waiting rule” and if they do call you have all thought of what and how they say when they say it and moreover how it should make you feel like, when they say it, but is that realistic or are we moving into fantasy land or even in our favorite love stories such as; Nothing Hill, P.S. I love you, Pretty Woman or Bodyguard etc.. What if he/she calls you and you don’t get any of the “perfect” emotions you are expecting? Does that make the connection less real? Or is that just reality of life. I’m not saying it is not possible to have all the aforementioned emotions or connections. All I’m saying is; give love a chance. In its own perfected, unique and individual ways and it will amaze you how pure and awesome it will/could make you feel.
Now that we have clarified that, I believe the logical follow-up question would; what is love? You ask? I’m happy you did. Love is that feeling you get when the other person’s happiness is way more important to you than your own. Love is when you think of the person and it brings so much joy in your heart, without the person even being there. Love is the sacrifices you are willing to make just to see the person of your heart smile, even if just for a blink of an eye. Love is what unite us and connect us no matter where we are from and what we believe. Love is unexplainable. Love doesn’t have any manuscript or best solutions. The blank/plain and honest truth is love. All you can do is embrace it and allow the power of love to win you over. Love is not perfect but it’s damn well comforting. Love is the answer to all your wants and needs. Love is love!
