What is love really? How can you describe love yourself and what are your expectations?
Everyone has a specific version of love in their minds. It can be that old romantic, disney like love of all those princes and princesses you grew up with, the love of heroes in books you have read over and over with a box of tissues at your side while you wait to see if the guy will get the girl or vice versa even though you might know the ending already, the goofy relationship where nothing can be taken seriously or a love full of adventure or the warmth of a household where you can spend hours cuddling your partner with a cup of warm tea, or hot chocolate in your hands.
Many have those high expectations of what love should be and they do whatever is possible in their power for getting it while browsing through the pages of famous classics written by people whose names have been printed over and over and recalled a thousand times more. Some even hope for a set of guidelines in those pages with which they will make it and have a relationship last for all eternity...
Romeo & Juliet, Jack & Rose, Darcy & Elizabeth, Noah & Allie, Beast & Belle, Edward & Bella, Ross & Rachel, Cinderella & Her Prince Charming....
Maybe you recognize some of those names or all of them. Maybe there were the relationships you came across and watched them blossom and read about them on the screen of your TV or the big screen in a movie theater while nomming along on the sweet popcorn of yours and allowing yourself to be indulged in the thought of being in love.. You wished to find someone who fits you prefectly in every single way to the point it seems that this was meant to be! Is it possible for somebody not to wish for such a love in their lives? To find that special someone they can look into their eyes and be able to understand everything, their thoughts even, to communicate without saying a single word. This person is the one who will cause your heart to skip beats, make butterflies flutter in your stomach (even thought that might not that healthy as some say), make you laugh uncontrollably, see your flaws and accept you the way you are, make you be brace with the feeling of invicibility as long as they are there, by your side. This is the person every person wishes to find in the world.
However, what happens when you find that person who makes you feel like the only special, most important woman or man in the whole planet? Some move on, they fight for their love, their do everything in their power to keep them in their lives and never break their hearts while others run. You come to the point of realizing how vulnerable you become by opening, giving your heart to the hands of somebody else and the possibilities of ending up heart broken and left alone like a lost puppy on the streets. That is actually the bitter truth and I believe, everyone has come to feeling in such a way even though they might hide it successfully. On the other hand, there are those who pretend they do not need love in their lives or that someone special to make them laugh, make them see the word positevely. I think...those are the big lies and enough said. Is it really possible for you not to have a need for a hug, a warm kiss in the morning, an hour of cuddling or even just the simple feeling of being loved?
You might have found already that somebody in your life or you might have not. Just don't give up on love.
