Someone out there explain love to me. Because I obviously don't know what it is. Or at least I'm made to believe that I don't. I am questioned time after time again of what is love, how do you know you're in love, explain it. Explain it?!? Did they want the dictionary definition of love? A feeling of strong attachment induced by that which delights or commands admiration. No, they want your thoughts on the feeling of love. I think the feeling of love is different for everyone. It's just something you know about, that you experience. It's a feeling you have and that you know.

But one can question whether or not you truly felt love. You are told that you are suppose to love someone or something. But do you really? From the day you were born you were force fed this idea of love. That you are to love your parents. But the question is do you? And how exactly do you know you do. I was raised to believe that feeling are secondary. If somone was to ask me whether or not I love my parents, my first thought is that I respect them but do I love them? No. Althought I don't say so because I will get dirty looks and questioned about it.

So what exactly is my definition of love? It's when you wake up in the morning your first thought is of him/her and he/she is the last think on your mind when you fall asleep. An example of this is a mother's first and last thought is of her child. That is real love. You don't choose to think of these people at these moments. It just happens. It's the first and last thing that pops into your head while you are awake.

I think the problem is the word love is so overused that it's harder to really understand what love is. Yet many would disagree with my explanation of love. Why can't you just accept that my version of love for me?
