Love

When one’s view on things has changed for the better because of someone else they can understand love. They can now truly appreciate honesty (never lying to that significant other), time (not wasting a single minute), devotion (rather die than cheat), and feelings (never letting them go unvoiced). Being in love with someone makes them your ecstasy. Being addicted to someone; mind, body and soul is love.

Going through life alone is the choice of some people because they are determined to be independent. But love can change one’s life for the better, and some die without ever feeling it. Being in love does not mean you give up your independence; it is simply gaining support of another while retaining your already sustained self confidence. Supporting someone else and caring about that person can make one stronger in most cases. Putting yourself out there and taking chances makes you braver and wiser in the long run. Just having someone to talk to that genuinely cares about what you have to say and your feelings can make a world of a difference in one’s life. The feeling of joy that comes from that persons face becomes a well deserved necessity.

The basic make up of love is a relationship based on honesty, time, and devotion and voiced feelings. If you do not trust someone then there is no point in being with them. Trusting someone to be devoted to only you is not raising the bar too high. With no more expectation than for them to be a partner in this life is not too much to ask of a significant other. Hypocritical accusations and assumptions only end in relationships crashing and burning due to insecurity on one or both halves. Remaining the person that you were at the start of a relationship is also critical. If you are not yourself to begin with then you are falsely advertising to that other person and sooner or later they will find out exactly who you are. The thin line between love, lust, and hate is easily crossed.

The "high" or "trip" that sweeps over ones body, sending icy chills through the blood, racing heart beating through the roof, tingling in the fingertips and toes, taking breaths, and burning a sensation that creeps up one’s spine into your neck filling one’s eyes with tears from a rejoiced heart all come from a significant other. Love is a mixture of emotions and feelings most closely related to being on a drug. When a person’s look, kiss, or touch can trigger an adrenaline rush or eye rolling pleasure then there is no other word to explain than “drug”. And as with any drug, addictions can occur with love. Being so obsessed with someone it eventually leads to inheritances and the obsessed is left to search for someone who can handle being clung too. Love is an “upper” but letting it consume you is something to be avoided.

All in all, being addicted to someone; mind, body and soul while retaining a personal life along with self confidence and keeping from obsessing and upsetting that other person is love. Being the real you from the beginning and remaining that genuine expression of yourself is the main key in love. Assumptions, accusations, and hypocrisy are to be avoided if love is to be achieved. Love is in fact a serious drug, and is not to be taken likely. Caring for someone can quickly turn to jealousy and hate, if love isn’t true then it will not be.
