What is l.o.v.e ?

Love, in my definition can be anything you want it to be. Love is like an empty canvas, it can be filled with many colors but it can also be dull, just plain black and white. Love never gives up, never surrenders, but it fights for what it believes in. Love isn't a one sided game, I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. Love requires patience, even though situations might be rough, love withstands any problems. Love isn't "I win or you win." Love is being able to understand one another and being able to compromise. Above all, love is not blind. It is all about understanding and taking chances.

Many say that love is complicated,hard,hurtful and unfair. But that's the way we percieve love maybe because of past experiences. We allow ourselves to have the mindset that love is unfair and all the above. But it is wrong. Love isnt hurtful or complicated, its the most precious gift a human being ought to recieve. This is the reason why I say love can be anything you want it to be, because it is true. Love is like a prized possession. When you really truly love something, you never want to loose it or let it go. You want to keep it forever and not because you love it, but simply because that prized possession means something to you, something greather than just love itself.

Although I say love is not complicated or hurtful, the truth is, it does. But it is not because of love, its is because of us. Some people blame love and how unfair love has treated them or what not, but the truth is its not love that is the problem, it is the people who took the actions of love. I know some people who are brutally hurt and emotionally brokened inside because they were really hurt by someone, but I believe that things do happen for a reason. Sometimes we just dont realize that when one door closes, a new one will open; a better one. I've heard many stories that some who were hurt by love actually commits suicide because they could'nt take the pain any longer, and the only choice they had was suicide. I think that is so ridiculous, but again, I dont blame them. Love does hurt. But it doesnt mean we have to commit those actions, there are better way in solving them. As humans we do not realize these things, we just see what is in the table, but we dont search deeper. This is one thing that I'm still learning.

Love is delicate, its a prized possession, its worth more than anything else you will ever recieve in your life.

Loveはいろいろ在るさ!

Your description of love is very narrow and only talks about love as in your boyfriend-girlfriend relationship type of love. As you started your blog i thought it would lead more as to general love, like you said love can be many things...but ya, what you said is true, but you should make it more clear that you're clearly only talking a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship "love".

Besides, don't you think love is just a word...and we as humans just are too difficult that we have to put a meaning to everything, to try to answer everything. I believe sometimes love is indescribable in itself and too great in itself to be fully analyzed as a whole.

Love is the core essence of all feelings combined, sadness, happiness, a feeling of peace, and a feeling of war all at the same time. Wether this feeling comes from a husband or wife, a friend, a parent, your love for your profession, etc.

To truly describe it would be too long and pointless, as it may be impossible almost.
