Twenty ways to identify love
It has always been about love. Even when we deny it or try to avoid it, love is always around us. We’re either in love, dreaming about love, recovering from love, wishing for love or neglecting love.
The experiencing of emotions like passion, affection, sentiment, obsession, desire, pleasure, fondness, attraction, or regard can be very confusing that we sometimes mistake them for ‘being in love’. We blindly go all the way to make major commitment and cry foul when things unfold to their true nature.
What could be more unendurable than to share the years in intimacy with someone one dislikes?
It is said that some people have a life time together and never know love.
What is the difference between mere desire and being in love?
You want someone, they want you; that is desire. Did you know that a person can feel desire and yet it will not touch their heart.
According to an English dictionary, being in love is marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness. A very hilarious, and yet honest description of love.
Again, What is love? Can you be in love from merely seeing someone?
Let’s list what love is and what it isn’t.
But if you have already found love, don’t be hung up on certain ideas of what ‘perfect love’ is. Appreciate the amazing love you actually have as long as what you have is real.
1) Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others and the delight in the recognition.
2) Love is not the perfect match, it is the connection between two people.
3) Love is an intimacy. Intimacy is not always about sex, it’s about truth. When you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them.
4) A good love is like a well preserved wine. As it gets better with age, the value increases and it becomes more cherished.
5) Love is an affection, a kind feeling, friendship, strong liking, and fondness.
6) Love is many things but it is never deceitful. Nothing toxic comes from genuine love.
7) True love is not blind. It has a very sharp and clear vision. However, if your love is blind; then it has to stay blind because finally seeing your partner for what they are usually means it’s over.
8) Love can be incurred by a beautiful friendship.
9) Love is a total commitment. It’s a 100/100
10) Love says ‘I want you to be happy’, not ‘I want you to make me happy’.
11) Love doesn’t remember deeds, it doesn’t keep receipts or score. It remembers that we are in the same boat.
12) Love doesn’t want to control, it wants to free.
13) Love doesn’t say me, it says us.
14) Love doesn’t just see the body/surface, it is not superficial. Love sees the soul, it’s deep.
15) Love is ready to forgive daily.
16) Love wants to fix things that are broken; and not just a quick fix
17) Love shouldn’t be something you have to earn by molding yourself into your partner’s dream love.
18) True love changes you, it makes you a better version of yourself.
19) Lust feels like love until it’s time to make sacrifice.
20) Love does not cause jealousy, selfishness does.
There’s no real or right way to love but common sense should always prevail. It’s not about finding the right person but creating a right relationship. It doesn’t matter how much love that you have in the beginning, what should matter is how much love you make till the end- pun intended.
