Love. A word we are all familiar with but have a different meaning for. Something that is often mistaken with infatuation, or lust. Love is tricky, manipulative even because it makes you believe, it makes you do all these idiotic things. We're only human this is understandable and to be in love all those idiotic things are in a sense, worth it. But who is to say what love really is? By definition, it is "an intense feeling of deep affection" Intense indeed it is. My question is, is that all too it? Most will argue no. This is not the meaning of love, love is more than that love is -- my sentence ends here because I have yet to find MY meaning of true love.

They are over a million things that I believe all contribute to love, but how do we put it all together? Love is manipulative because it can be deceptive. It has two very different and very real sides. There is love, and there is being in love. You can have affection for someone but does that mean you feel something romantically towards them? This can get confusing and very messy when it comes to someone else and you. Love is manipulative because people will want you and your affection all to themself and try and cut you off from reality but is that really love? Would someone who loves you do these things to you? Lunatics will say yes because, well, love is tricky and I'm not sure anybody has it quite figured out. Infatuation is hard to point out. It is (by definition) and intense but short-lived passion. All of these love emotions, the intensity, the emotion, it's all so .. similar. A little too similar to separate in the beginning but that's when you see it. Because there only is a beginning with infatuation; you get no further and that is why you should wait before you decide to say those three things to someone. I LOVE YOU .. changes everything, it really does.

Now, you're not just saying you like spending time with them, you like being around them you're saying you care about them. You are saying you want to spend all the time you can with them, you are saying you want to be around them until you´re grey. You care about how they slept last night, you want to know if they have eaten and if not you want to get them food. You want to take care of them. You are saying you are going to take care of them you are saying you are going to be around for a long time because there is no place you'd rather be. Love is tricky, love is a commitment, not just a word you say to make someone feel good.

Love Lusthttps://vocal.media/humans/love-or-lust

Lust is tricky, it is physical desire. People often think, ¨man their sex is amazing I think I love them.¨¨Their kiss set me off, I think to love them.¨ You have a good, maybe even great feeling and you may think to yourself, ¨I want to feel this good forever¨. So whoever gave you this amazing feeling, may get a casual "I love you " so they might stick around. Love isn't just physical, it's a connection that you don't forget. Lust is the constant need to be all up under that person. That constant desire bottled up leads us to think about what it would be like to just be like to be with them again. This constant thinking of what it could be tricking us into thinking weŕe in love. ¨I keep thinking about them, I can't get them out of my head… maybe I'm in love¨. No sorry, you are in lust, my friend. This creates scenarios in our brains of what they might be like. The secret is, we don't create who we think they might be, we create who we want them to be. In this time, you have created your dream lover in this person that you may hardly know anything about. This is your mind manipulating you to believe that this person is who you are in love with.

My closing statement about love is, whatever it was made out to be in a time before ours is gone. That demonstration of love Iḿ sad to say only exists in a few. These days, the word love is simply just that. A word. It no longer holds the same significance it once did in the world. Love means something different to anyone you ask. We just say it to feel good. We say it when we mean it. If we don't mean it, we say it anyway. If people want something out of you, they'll tell it you. If they wanted to justify outrageous standards they uphold of you, they'll say it. When is love ever used in the right context anymore? Probably about 13% of the time. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all people don't know what love really is. I'm not saying that love is a bad thing either. I'm just saying …. Love is tricky.
