Your kind of love.



What is love??


Well, I would simply say its complicated yet most beautiful emotion- a feeling of being alive.

Actually, its really a tricky one to answer even if you have experienced it because no one is ever satisfied with their own set of definition. People are still keen to explore its boundaries even if they know they have experienced it and relished it.




I believe that love is situation based. I know it doesn't sounds good, kind of selfish but I feel it has a special feature of changing its form from time to time and from person to person.

Love is a single word that keeps changing its definition let me be clear here, like many would recall saying love you to their crush, who once was believed to be true love but isn't anymore or like I say "I love you" to my son and my husband but here the feelings involved are completely different but still its love. I say I love eating pizza and I love my family even here the word used is love but both have different meaning.

We keep using the word without actually knowing its true meaning and its actual use in our conversation or sometimes we perceive love that might be another emotion like affection, attachment, attraction or lust.

Many great poets and writers have tried to describe love simply by adding more emotions with the word love. Emotions that are both positive and negative like happiness, trust, respect, pain, sorrow and so on... So one can conclude love is a combination of many emotions. 

I find it quite amusing that some people have a love meter just like a thermometer in which scale ranges from Love... Blind love... Unconditional love... True love... Long lasting love...  to Devine love etc...

If the love meter is to be believed one can only say that it keeps changing than why people say that true love never changes or fades, or its not true love if it changes with time. Then what is the difference between love and devine love??? If you say love grows but growth means change. Change is change if the meter can go up it can drop too. 

Tomorrow is Valentines day, a day specially dedicated to love. I know one thing that many people are fooled by the marketing kings and will be celebrating the day the way the kings wants them. All the fuss around the whole Valentine week and all those marketing gimmicks makes the main idea about the day to celebrate love seems so vague.

Love is not what others(poets, writers etc) tell us it is because its their perception and the love seems more fictional or imaginary...

Many people go on fooling themselves into believing that the relationships they have made for convenience and comfort are actually relationships of love. The thing they ignore to understand is that love is a unique feeling and is present in each of us. Its not the word that's special its the rest of the feelings or people that you attach with it giving it a special meaning.

I truly believe that love is something that is felt from inside and each individual has a unique identity so how can love be same for everyone.

We can each experience love in our own way, which is why defining the term ‘love’ is so complicated.

If you say you’re in love with someone, but your family disapproves saying its affection or attraction. So here who is wrong??? They or you??? How can someone else tell you about your inner feelings. They might not understand because their definition migt be different than yours but it can still be love. Here no one is wrong its just individual opinions.

So what I am trying to say is my idea of love can be different from your idea of love but still its love and its not about a day or two its a ongoing process that needs to be cherished.

Its not wrong to understand others point of view but going on blindly by others perception is not right.

To understand love just spend a little time with yourself to understand your needs and desires and you'll never need to find it outside its already inside you. You just need to share it and what you give is what you get in return.

Once you'll understand love then you'll no longer have to celebrate Anti Valentines week followed by Valentines day...

So,
Happy Valentines day... 
Hope you find your kind of love...
