LOVE: WHEN YOU MET SOMEONE WHO GETS YOU

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.



I get tired of being told that love is some beautiful thing and that to have it you have to be completely unselfish, but there isn't a single human being out there who is honestly selfless. Even those that do good things only do it because it makes them feel good or they think it's the “right thing” to do. I'm not perfect, but that doesn't mean I don't or can't fall in love. Love is one of the most messy ridiculous things I can imagine, despite that I'll still keep looking for it.
How can you honestly say you have never been so upset with your partner you didn't want them to touch you, go near you, or even have the audacity to speak to you in a certain tone, if you haven't you're a liar. Love takes you for all that you are, and all that you are not. Love is loving their cellulite because you want them to know you love EVERYTHING about them, even the things they wish they could change, the things they hate the most. Love has to see the storm of the anger to feel the calm afterwards, it's progression, it's love in the making. I love getting drunk with my partner and taking cabs home because we are best friends. We find comfort in each other, and find love in comfort.




Is love rational? If anything it's the most irrational concept known to man kind. We all seek it, hoping to find the perfect love to fall in love with but that seldom happens. It's work, it's happiness, it's heartache, growth, selflessness, confusion, compromising, and anything beyond and in between. Everyone experiences love in their own way.
Love is the most happiest thing in the world…yet it could be the worst thing. I always said I hate love…because when you have an argument with someone you love, it hurts more than anything. Or when you are far apart from the person….its heart breaking. LOve is amazing, yet very intimidating



“Love is unattractive. It can expose our worst traits: Jealousy, irrational fears, heated anger” and this belief has made (I'd go as far to say) the majority of people stay in relationships that hurt them. Like in “eat, pray, love” in the movie, at some point he says “lets just admit that we're in a fucked up relationship and if we accept it then we can be together forever…rather to be miserable together than apart” and it feels like love, that you'd be able to sacrifice your own happiness just to be near, but we've got to ask if that is LOVE in it's truest sense. Yes, I might be too ideal, and after being there and 'loving' wrong people I've come to believe that love is in it's essence, not those things. And you have touched on this saying that it's the bad kind of love. I'll go as far to say that that's not love at all and if we allow ourselves to believe that, then it keeps us there in that relationship for longer.


Have you never worry if that one you gave your heart to is caring for it properly. you never get bothered when you see their eyes roam? you never feel lost and alone when they’re not there?

All the bad things, all the good things. All those parts of you you admire and hate. Love is that clinging to someone you don’t want to lose. it’s being afraid when you fear you’ll never be near them again. It’s being angry that they can see the parts of you you hate, and overjoyed when they can see the parts of you that are beautiful that you couldn’t see for yourself. All those things you hear about “love isn’t jealous” ”love is perfect” ”love is neverending” ”love won’t hurt you”, it’s all false. This is truly a definition of love. not marriage. not happily ever after. not constant agreement to the end of time.

You want to know an example of love: An elderly couple having dinner. The man argues that there isn’t enough salt. The wife replies that the doctor said salt is bad for him. He calls her a nag. She calls him an idiot. They spend the next half hour arguing about it until they finally forget what they were fighting about. She reminds him to put away his teeth before bed and he tells her that he was going to do it anyway. They climb into bed with each other, and as they drift to sleep, they hold each other the way they have for the last 60 or so years.Love is going to be disagreement. It’s going to be anger. But more than anything, it’s going to be love in any way you can define it.


Love is finding yourself feeling protective over someone else’s well-being. Love is being incensed with rage when someone or something has done your lover wrong.Love is your significant other telling you about their favorite album and then making a point to fall in love with it on your own. Love is wondering why your better half loves certain things. You think you can find remnants of them in their favorite films, books and songs, but you usually can’t.Love is getting drunk with your significant other at a party and taking a cab home with your bodies intertwined. You feel safest in these moments, the most secure.Love is still wanting to hold someone after you climax. After the initial euphoria from the orgasm wears off, you’re replaced with a sense of calm rather than a panic. You don’t want to search for your clothes, scramble to find your keys and figure out the best way to tell them, “See ya later forever!” You’re fine with chilling out in bed with the person and maybe ordering pad thai later.



Being in love takes away all of your pain,You have Nothing to lose and everything to gain. Happiness is there staring you in the face, Every time your loved one pleasures you with her grace. She puts you at ease whenever she is around, and every one of your worries gets buried deep in the ground. She gives you a sudden pang of self respect, and not a bit of sadness could you ever detect. She is your heaven while you're on this earth, She becomes the reason your mother gave birth. In her you find a lot of trust, and in a great relationship that's a definite must. Long heartwarming stares show you she does care, and finding another woman like her would surely be rare. You experience things with her than you ever have before, and though you might not have everything you could never want more. She puts you on a natural high and being without her? NEVER! You would rather die. You'd miss how she held you and made you feel warm, for she is your rainbow with the calming of every wretched storm. I can't wait to find someone to make me feel this way,

And when I do, I hope and pray..she'll be there for me with each passing day..Loving me as much as I love her, and the light our love shines will never go dim. I take my relationships now and allow myself to grow, and when the right one comes I will definitely know. I know in my heart she will come one of these days, and when she does I hope and pray that she will...forever stay.



When the darkness parted and the sun peered through upon the stormy waters of my soul,I scarcely would have guessed that you were the other half of my whole. My heart was blind and looking elsewhere for that perfect someone I thought I missed. Only you knew that my future lay with lips I had already kissed. You melted your way into my being,slowly, slowly... then all at once so fast.You overflowed my very heart with a love that's unsurpassed. Each day is now filled with so much joy,now that we are forever bound. I thank God each and every day for the diamond in the rough that I have found. And now the sun shines brightly down upon the now peaceful waters of my soul. I now know for certain, through and through, you are the other half that makes me whole.



What am I afraid of?

I guess the feeling that I am completely alone and that there was nobody to help me. In that moment, I felt all the other times in my life when I had been left alone and in pain. It felt like a knife was jabbing into an open wound on my chest. I could barely breathe, My sadness was so deep that it blinded me to any other realities. My biggest fear has surfaced. I believed that I would be stuck forever in the empty, painful feeling of my loneliness.



In every girls life there will always be those three guys...the one she loves, the one she hates, and the one she cant get enough of...and in the end...they're all the same guy.

They say love hides in every corner, then I must be walking in circles. In the movie. A Beautiful Mind...John Nash said to his wife, ....It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons.Thank you.. That is the love i want.....the commitment i need.We take a risk when we open our hearts because the truth is, if we open our hearts, we will get hurt. You can't open your heart and not have some hurt because you're in a human experience. Even if it's the love of your life and you have many wonderful, deepening, growing, powerful years together, it's a human experience, and that person will pass over. Love takes courage..which so many people are afraid to do.To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and probably be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safely in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become impenetrable, irredeemable . . . The only place outside heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of love, is hell.

Why is there this everlasting craving to be loved? I guess we want to be loved because we do not love; but the moment you love, it is finished, you are no longer inquiring whether or not somebody loves you. As long as you demand to be loved, there is no love in you; and if you feel no love, you are ugly, brutish, so why should you be loved? Without love you are a dead thing; and when the dead thing asks for love, it is still dead. Whereas, if your heart is full of love, then you never ask to be loved, you never put out your begging bowl for someone to fill it. It is only the empty who ask to be filled, and an empty heart can never be filled by running after gurus or seeking love in a hundred other ways.

Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying whether they’ll give anything back. Or if they’re gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose. You really don't know how much someone loves you. Love isn't a thing that just happens like in a fairy tale movie of "love at first sight." There has to be a common bond. A place in your heart and mind where you can go. Sometimes by yourself, and other times with each other. Because.... People in love will purposely hurt each other with spiteful words and actions. Hoping that the other will understand by forgiving and comforting. But.. that kind of unconditional love is very rare. Its too easy to give up and see if the grass is greener elsewhere.

I believe and feel if a man or woman loves you they wouldn't do anything to hurt you. And knowing we all are imperfect I feel that if a problem was acknowledged that that person would come together with unconditional love and work this out. They would appreciate you for your worth and help you when you are in the need of them. Love is not thinking to ones self " what is this going to do for me", but will say or think "what can I do to help this person I love". But when you get people who are always thinking about themselves all the time. That is not real true love. And a person must be worthy of love as well. Some don't know how to love and leave you bitter for the next person who you try to love.

For me, love is caring about the person, being there for them no matter what it costs you (physically, emotionally, etc.), and a willingness to endure all things necessary to keep that person in your life. So, do you love someone? It depends: Do you find yourself giving up other ventures just to spend an extra moment with them? Do you enjoy talking (really talking) with them? Does this person bring out a necessity in you to be the best you can be, not for your benefit, but for their benefit? How many people are willing to give themselves up?
