My generation is gung-ho on not being in relationships, but sleeping around. They belittle those individuals who are striving for that relationship and trying to make it last. "Why get married young, you're throwing away the rest of your life," is what I hear so often from (mostly) guys. Well I say why not fall in love young? Why not get married at a young age? Try your hardest to defy the statistics of divorce. I mean, if you're in love, why not build a life with that person? Let me take you on an adventure through what love is and should be, in my eyes.
Love is so much more than just sex appeal. Yes this is a vital piece, but it is not necessary. Love is compromising things you do and love so that your loved one is happy. Some people call this being 'whipped', but if both parties can do this it makes things a lot easier. When you're in love, every emotion is magnified, the passion is so much more when you have someone you love doing it with you. Anger, excitement, bliss, everything you feel, you feel more in the "raw" when you are in love. A kiss...a kiss is merely a kiss until you find the person you want to kiss everyday for the rest of your life.
The passion when you touch, even just holding hands sends lightning bolts through your being. Even though you may not be speaking words, something as simple as holding hands speaks much louder than words ever could. It is an "I need you", "I feel safe when I'm touching you". Yes, something as simple as holding hands can speak volumes when you are in love. Let us move on to something a little more passion filled, a kiss. Kissing the one person you love is like two nebulae interceding and exploding into one. Yes, just picture that. The touch of lips together, being so physically close. A kiss is so pure, passionate, and means so much more when you kiss the person you love.
Now I know what you're thinking, "love isn't always happy things". Well lucky for you, I am not done yet! When you are with the person you love, you feel things you haven't really felt, A different type of anger, or frustration. Yes, you are without a doubt going to fight, you are going to get angry and probably say things you don't mean. But here is the kicker, instead of lamenting on the fight and holding it over the head of one another, you fix it. Remember that compromising thing? This is where is comes into play. Once the situation is handled and calmed down, talk it out and figure out what the problem is. No problem is ever to big to solve or fix. When the going gets tough, you have to fight like hell to fix the issue, not throw it away.
Love is a very touchy topic, some people have it, but some people resent the idea of it. Whether or not you have it, love to me is a necessity of life. If it isn't human to human love, find something to consume yourself with. Maybe you love a dog or a cat, maybe you love a physical item such as a car or a boat. Love is an emotion that isn't just tied to a human, but when its felt towards a human your world is going to change for the better!
