What is love

• Phunkie wrote on 2011-01-06 15:32
  Love is infinite. It's incredible.
  
  When you're truly in love, you feel like you could jump off a building or a bridge and survive the fall. Pain or suffering of any kind seems impossible when you're in love. You feel a limitless happiness and you can't always attribute a reason for it.
  
  Why do I love her so much? Why does he make me feel so good?
  
  You can't always explain it. It just is.
  
  When you're in love, sex is rarely on your mind. It's not about sex. Most of the time, you're thinking about cuddling with the other person and perhaps holding hands or even kissing him or her and whispering soft things in his or her ear. Being with that person completes you more than anything in the world; even something as watching that person sleep becomes entertaining, fulfilling.
  
  Being in love means trusting someone and going out of your way for someone. Money doesn't matter; you'd spend it all on that someone if you had no other option. You'd probably even risk your life for him or her. Because you don't want to lose him or her.
  
  Though love isn't a one-way street, it's two-lane highway. It's an equal give-and-take. If someone doesn't put in the effort you do into the relationship, maybe it's not mutual love. And one has to be careful not to be used by another, because there's a lot bad people in the world these days.
  
  But love is quite beautiful and I wish everyone had a chance to experience it, even if just once.

  no but seriously what is your definition of love?
  how do you know if you're in love?
  have you ever been in love?
  are you currently in love?

  
  A, this is hard for me to define, even though I know I'm in love. I did try defining it once before but it ended up being very long. Hm..
  
  I guess one way of putting it, although it doesn't encompass everything is: I'd survive if everyone but that one person vanished, but if that one person vanishes and everyone else is still there, I'm kind of a distracted mess.
  
  The first sign? Thinking about that person more often than you realize, then catching yourself, then realizing just how often you're thinking about them in comparison to everyone else. You think about them because you like to, not for some troubling reason.
  
  I am currently in love, even though I definitely wasn't expecting it. The way it feels now.... The person you love can lift your spirits higher than anyone else can, or hurt you more than anyone else can. The beauty in it is that you trust them to do the first, and not the second, and that is where they keep you. Are there ups and downs? Sure, I'll admit we've had ours, but we've never failed to pull through in the end. We trust each-other enough to know that at some point there will be an understanding.
  
  Love is bliss, but just because you have moments when you're not in that perfect bliss, doesn't mean you're not in love. It's a complicated thing that nonetheless exists and is felt deeply.

  Love is when you're enjoying the thought that you're being stabbed by that psycho killer so that your loved one can cut free from the binding ropes and escape.
  
  Oh, yeah, and working things out. Understanding is love.

  I thought I was the attention whore!
  
  EDIT: It didn't censor me so does that mean it's okay? lol

  Love is a complicated thing.
  
  I have yet to experience it though, and I wonder if I ever will.
  
  *sigh*
  
  Maybe it's my fate to live a lonely existence. Oh well, I'll always have my cats...or rather, I WILL have my cats when I get out on my own.
  
  All I need for love, is a cute little kitty to snuggle with.
  
  Sorry, going off on a tangent.

  O.o
  
  Really?
  
  I never thought of myself as a good catch, mainly because at the moment, I don't have much to offer.
  
  We'll see once I finish college and settle down with a job and all that.

  That's what you think.
  
  You don't sound obsessive or jealous, so a relationship with you would be quite gratifying. You enjoy simple things in life like snuggling a little kitty, and you don't ask for anything in return if you truly like somebody. So yeah, you sound like a good catch and nice person, etc.

  Quote from Earth:

  Love was simply liking another person very very very very very very much. That's it. But you would not believe how much time and effort poets, painters, philosophers, songwriters and (most unfortunately) teenagers expended trying to express this unbelievably basic feeling.

  
  
  I could add in my own two cents on what I think it is, but I'll just say this:
  You never really know what love is until it's snatched away.
