Love And Relationships

How do you define love? Butterflies in your stomach, can't stop thinking about someone, always wanting to be around that special person. Is that love? What is the proper definition of love? According to me, love and relationships can never be defined. Love is one of the most pure feelings in the world and to try and contain that in one sentence, is just not possible. It is a relative feeling, different people have different definitions of love,different ideas of love. Why? Because every individual is different from the other. Now-a-days, relationships have become more of sex and less of love. People don't understand the difference between hookups and a relationship.

Having a relationship with someone means to give yourself to that person physically as well as mentally. You rely on that one person when you are in trouble. There are no barriers between two people in a relationship. A relationship is like a beautiful journey, that two people embark upon, supporting and loving each other through anything and everything that comes their way. There has been a lot of talk as to when to stop loving someone when they constantly break your trust and hurt you. Personally I feel that if someone really loves you, he or she will do anything and everything to make sure that you do not get hurt. So if someone keeps repeating the same mistake again and again you have your answer. Love is a very powerful feeling, it is like a drug. You cannot control who you love. It just happens and you stand there wondering. People say that when you see someone and you feel anxious and agitated, that is the person for you. Although I think that when you look at someone who makes you feel calm and peaceful, someone with whom you don't spin and twirl, that to me is genuine love.

It is not about posting photos on social media, it is not about buying expensive gifts, it is not about sex, it is about enjoying those little moments with them when you both can't stop laughing, it is about that small note that you left for them reminding your love to them, it is about respecting each other's boundaries but pushing them to explore new things at the same time, it is about being together. When you feel that you can battle the whole world to protect your partner, when nothing makes you smile but their voice or their hug, that my friends is when you feel love.
