Love is supposed to be beautiful...


Recommended Posts

All that lies and hiding really kills your personality.

Love is supposed to be beautiful...to make you happy ( even with those problems that appear) not to make you sad and feeling unworthy. Don`t you think so?

Isn`t it nice when you love someone with all your heart and you are not afraid to show it to the whole world instead of hiding it from everyone bc you might hurt other people..

love is?

c`mon people let`s try to define what love is!

 

Love is : never to say I am sorry ( cliche)

Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to be involved with them.

Love is not a bandage to cover wounds.

Hugh Elliott,

 

True love brings up everything - you're allowing a mirror to be held up to you daily.

Jennifer Aniston

 

Love isn't a decision. It's a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simplier, but much less magical.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone,

it could be that they never really loved. whether they thought they did or whether, or not, they confused love with lust, who knows.

 

i know, at one point, i really truly loved my exH. i loved him, i loved the life we shared together. but then we both, or perhaps mostly i, changed. kids, responsibilities, age all changed me in one direction and him in another (or perhaps not at all). i found that the older, more mature me had different expectations for my life that he just couldn't and didn't want to understand. and as time went on i realized that in order to love myself, and who i was, my love for him was dying. it's hard to explain. but after years of trying, there was no love left.

 

but love is impossible to define, and i suppose to understand, since there are so many different kinds. the love you feel for your kids is so different from what one feels for an SO. i know there's nothing that they could do that could ever push me away and make me stop loving them. no matter how they changed, or how i did, it would still be there. but there's also the realization that they will grow up, grow older and leave and that they will no longer be dependent on you.

 

as for MMs, that's a more complicated situation. whether they truly love an OW (and perhaps their W), whether it's the heat of the moment, or the affair, whether it's lust, who knows. i do believe that my exMM loved me, perhaps he still does, i'll never know. but i don't believe it was just lust, we weren't physically together that much for it to have been just that. there was a strong emotional connection. the kind of connection that allows you to feel comfortable confessing all, baring your soul and knowing that the other accepts you for what you are and what you could become together. i had never felt, for anyone, what i felt for him. and he said the same. it was powerful. but it was wrong, or the timing was wrong, whatever, it no longer matters. but i know, that my feelings for him will always be a part of me. if i can't be with him, then that's the way it is, but what i feel in my heart stays. i fought for a long time (months anyway) to try to "force" myself to fall out of love with him. and i couldn't, and i couldn't move on. what finally helped me to begin to heal and to feel comfortable putting myself out there again, was realizing that i couldn't force that to happen. just like i could never force myself to love someone, i can't force myself to stop caring about him. someday, i hope, there will be someone else, someone who also may make me feel that way. but i will never forget what i shared with him.

 

i do believe in sole mates. but i don't believe there's just one person out there for each of us. i don't believe it's a fairy tale, or a concept from a disney movie. and i know there are those who do not believe and say that it doesn't exist. i used to be one of those people.... but when you've felt it, you know...

In my situation, I believe I have found love.

 

In my opinion based on how I FEEL, love is when you look at that person, and you see yourself looking back at you.

 

Love is when you can accept that persons beauty first and foremost on the INSIDE and secondary - on the outside.

 

Love is when you can't think of anyone else you'd rather spend your life with.

 

Love is when you can laugh at the silliest things, and it feels so DAMN good to laugh with that person, and you never get tired of it AND it happens alot in your relationship.

 

Love is when you can cry infront of your mate too.

 

Love is when you are comfortable with each other. Can accept one anothers faults even the worst ones because you too, have faults of your own.

 

Love is responsibility for ones actions. Love does not blame nor does it "pass the buck". Love is doing whatever it takes to make the wrong situations right.

 

Love is compassionate. Love is also kind.

 

Love is about good communication. Even if it's shaky at first. Learning about one another will help improve it.

 

Love is when you can intimately bond with someone, whom can fulfill you in every way, but there's plenty of love and emotion behind it.

 

Love is understanding instinct. It's knowing when your other partner needs you and, yet, won't directly tell you because of the pride they have.

 

Love is looking out for your partner's best interests and showing deep concern.

 

Love is just KNOWING. In your gut, in your every fibre of your being, that you want to spend the rest of your life with that person.

 

Yes, you may feel that way with more than one person, but there will come a time, if you have yet to find true love, that you just might be with that person one day, you'll look at them, and just KNOW that the person you are infront of....IS INDEED... The One.

 

 

Wow. I wrote that all myself.

 

I think it's because that's how I feel about my mate.

Butterfly28, wonderfully written and I agree with you 100%!

 

i disagree.

 

i don't think that love is something you feel. i believe it's an action. that's why it can stop.

 

Love is a feeling and it is also an action. I think we can 'fall out of love' with somebody but still 'love' them. We can detach and feel less emotion with somebody, but series of events have to happen and/or someone else comes into the picture.

 

Each situation, each love is so different and unique. No love is ever the same as the last.
