How do you define love in your own view? How do you contemplate it? I, as a writer and a blogger, have my own views about this. At this point of time and at my age of 15, I can't say I've been in love, and I'm falling in love. Well, especially when it comes with the opposite sex. Because right now and frankly speaking, I'm confused of what really this crazy thing called "love" is and how it works. So, let us evaluate the common definitions of LOVE defined by a major number of people.
- Love is blind. People who define that love is blind are the ones who experience negativity on their partners. They are blinded with the positives of their partners and they don't see what they're supposed to see that are negative. There are a lot of examples to this. One, a girl is crazy over a gorgeous and has the Edward Cullen looks guy but she was blind of his bad habits like smoking pot or drinking liquors. Two, a Brad Pitt-look alike guy is madly in love with an Ugly Betty-look alike girl but has a kind and true heart.
- Love is like a flowing river. Love flows gradually like a river. Its both ends at some points are connected with this flowing river. But with this definition. Only one is giving and the other is taking. Meaning to say, the river is headed to one destination, and it doesn't flow back to its starting point. Right? One is constantly giving away love while the other is receiving it but doesn't give back.
- Love is like a bubble gum. This one is one of the funniest that I've heard. It's the most sarcastic definition for me. They say it's like a bubble gum, when you swallow it, it would make you crazy. Love makes one deeplessly crazy making it feels like a bubble gum.
- Love is like a rose. A rose is beautiful yet full of thorns. Yes, it makes you happy but at a certain time, you'll feel pain.
Those are probably the definitions that I often hear from people who experience love. Yet, a lot of people opposed to these definitions. Why is that?
It's because each and everyone of us is different just how different we view love. We see things differently. We see LOVE in our own perspectives.
As for my own view, love is something that no one else but God could explain and define. God gave us LOVE. With this given gift, we share it to others unconditionally. We can define and explain the infamous Pythagorean Theorem. As human beings, we can't approximately and exactly define love in WORDS but we can show it indefinitely in ACTIONS.
But if I really have to define it in words it would be "Love is everything." But it's more than that. It makes you feel fulfilled, contented, happy, and all emotions there is because even in love, we experience hurts and pains. Love will never be love without pains. I see love everyday for I see God's love in my family and friends, in my countless daily blessings, in my studies, in my relationships with other people, in how I live throughout the day.
What I'm confused about is if I'm feeling love or falling in love now with a boy. As a teenager, I have full of doubts in terms of this. How do we ever know if it's already love? I guess I can say that love will find a natural way to understanding. Love will find a way to my heart.

Love to me is complicated. I could rant about this forever. 8)
Giselle, yes I agree with you. Indeed, love is complicated. It's something that's not easy to talk about or even do. Well, I haven't experienced a lot about LOVE yet but I agree with you that it's really complicated. Thanks for posting a comment. Hope to hear from you again. I'm glad you've stumbled in my blog. Thanks! (=
