Love is commitment.

We say “I love you” when we truly and deeply commit to someone.

When we understand and accept those with whom we are infatuated with.

“I love you” is not for the verbally impulsive to throw you off guard, to make one testify what can not be adequately explained with words.

There’s many types of “love” and many ways to express it.

Love exists in homes where parents sacrifice their desires and needs for their children.

Love is present in the people and animals that we take care of.

“Don’t forget your coat” “Call me when you are home safe” “do you eat enough today?” Are all ways to say “I love you”.

True love is everlasting and is evident in times of strife and hardship.

Romantic love is…different.

It is the most dangerous kind of love; the most unpredictable. It is the kind that can feel euphoric only to crash and burn in flames of resentment and regret.

There should be caution when one “falls in love”. Only fools believe in instant compatability. Physical attraction possible at first sight? Of course. Emotional attraction? Far more complicated and delicate.

Like everyone, i have both loved and lost. There are deep fears that prevent me from exposing my vulnerability to another.

This is a head vs. heart matter… and so far… neither are winning.
