Jason Tartick said it best when he said " Love is a powerful emotion. I have no respect for anyone that abuses that emotion when they're in need."
In today's society, the word "love" is thrown around like a football. It has lost it's true deep meaning. In order to truly be in love with something, one needs to be " inspired by affection" for what they are referring to.
In all reality all the things I say I "love" I actually don't love. I can live without all of those things. I like shopping, my nail salon, coffee, Mexican food, and snacks. I appreciate all of those things. I enjoy all of them, but I truly don't love them.
I love my family. I admire them. I deeply appreciate everything they do.
We can't abuse what love truly is. We shouldn't say love to every person we date. We can't truly and deeply love so many things or people. True love causes a deep-rooted pain when you have to walk away from it. Losing love should not be easy. It should not be something that you get over in an hour.
"Love is a powerful emotion". Love is something that many of us can't control. It is a feeling we all desire. Everyone wants to be in love. Everyone wants to feel loved. We all need love in our lives. We all want love. We all crave love.
But, we also need to realize what love truly is. We need to realize the deeper meaning of a word we all use so much. We need to understand what it means when we say it to someone. Love isn't an emotion we can just take back. Love doesn't go away.
Love is lasting.
Love is painful.
Love is all one truly needs.
