It has been actually quite a while since I have personally talk about love. I guess what I have gone through held me at a bay and made me think all over again as to how I really understand this word.
It's already a touche' that there is not but one meaning of love. It varies to each and every individual... love is more like beauty, dependent on the person who feels it.
I've been ask by a friend if I have ever been in love. If I had this question several months ago, I would've said yes with out hesitation. A resounding yes, now, the answer would be it depends. If being in love means being with the person who is quite identical to me, my persona, my beliefs, my weird ideas, my mood swings, then the answer is no. I haven't encountered a person yet who is as ironic as I am. If it means, having a relationship with the person who is my anti thesis and always being at each others claws, then the answer would be yes. Now if your going to tell me that it should be with some one who sends shiver to my spines when ever I see him, guess I got to be scared because I feel this shiver with one of my professors back in college, the one whom I dreaded the most and tried my best to elude. (Don't ask who this teach is... grrr)... Going back to the issue of being in love... if I am going to base it on my own definition... the answer is NOT YET.. How do I understand love? Love means giving out your best and being the best that you are when you are in a relationship without jeopardizing either your personality or your partner's personality. Yes, it's compromising. When in love, it should bring you happiness, not the other way around.... it's also as ironic as I am.... like what I said this is my personal point of view with love. Have I been in love? I have loved some one unconditionally, and yes I have been loved unconditionally as well but never at the same time!!!
Don't get tired with love though... one day it will all fall in place that I will love and be loved at the same time.
