Our Definition of Love

Back when we were kids, we used to define love in our slam books and essays. We used to be so sure what it meant. When we grew up, so many people have shared their own definitions of it with us, and convinced us how wrong we were.

We weren’t realistic. We’re too idealistic! We’ve believed in fairy tales for far too long.

Soon we no longer knew what love really is or if it even exists at all!

We Still Yearn For Love

Deep within however, we still yearned for love. We feel this ache in us, this emptiness that we strive to fill again and again with the wrong kinds of affection.

As a result, we keep on believing in love even if we’re not being loved at all. We keep on saying that our loved ones will change even if it’s evident that they would not. We keep on convincing ourselves that we are loved even if we’re already being cheated or abused.

Signs of Love

How do we know if a person really loves us? Is it enough that he or she tells us so?
