Definition of Love

Today is the first day of February and you know what that means. Let the 14 Day Project commence!

So today's topic as I said would be is, the definition of love.

So what is the definition of love?

Love-
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person; sweetheart.

So there you have it.

Funny enough each of those definitions are things that I plan to talk about over the course of these 14 days. So love? We've seen the definition of it. And yet we all know love is so much more than that.

Love is falling head over heels, love is when you can't get them out of your mind and more importantly your heart. Love is when you don't want to live without someone (and perhaps every once in a while you don't want to live with them).

One important thing that isn't mentioned is the fact that love is also pain. Who hasn't cried for someone they love?

Love is being vulnerable and if it's the right kind of love you will never have to be worried about attacked while you're vulnerable.

Love is knowing there's pain and not caring.

Right now at this moment in life I'm not in love with anyone. But there are people I love. I love my parents, sister, grandparents, and other extended family. I love my friends. I love my dogs because yes I consider my pets as a part of my loved ones. I don't have the kind of love everyone looks for, but I do know what love is and I do have some form of love in my life.

And because of that for the time being I'm okay with it.

"All you need is love", yes I can agree with that statement. But it doesn't matter what type of love you have. As long as you're capable of loving someone. And realize that there is at least one other person who does love you.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I was just gone, not dead, just gone. And I'd like to think my loved ones would miss me. And some days that's enough to keep me going.

At the end of the day love is love. It's not something simple that can be truly defined by looking it up online. Love is so much more than that. It's complicated stuff.  And I'm fine with it.
