What Is Love?

You know those funny feelings you get when you have a crush? Maybe thats turning into love, but what is love really?

What Is Love?

Love is a strong emotion, and it becomes even stronger when you are in love with another person and they feel the same way. Love is kind of a funny feeling, when you fall in love for the first time it consumes you, all you do is smile and think about that person. Your heart beats a little faster, your face glows a little brighter, you get the butterflies in your stomach a little more often. But love is much more than an emotion, much more than getting butterflies, much more than being happy.

When your in love with someone, that means you are there for them, you will support them, you are going to stand by them through thick and thin, because when you love someone that is what you do. Love is only a four letter word but it is such a powerful word and when you add two more words to it, that can be the greatest thing you can tell a person.

Love is caring, love is beautiful, love is passionate, love is wonderful, and love is so much more! Realizing that love is more than just a feeling, but rather a thing that is important to have in life. Love is something every person craves. We need love from someone of the opposite. Without it there is an empty void in our life.

Love is when you accept the person for who they are, nothing they say or do will change that. You don't care about their past relationships, but only treasure what you have with them in the present. Their past is dust that was washed away and you are only building a future together. Love is when you don't see the flaws in the other person, but see them as a perfect and beautiful human being.

When you're in love, you almost become a new. You now have a special place in your heart for this special person. You look at them more than a friend, they are "your person". At the end of the day you only want them. You only want to talk to each other, when something goes wrong you call each other immediately. When your hands are interlocked, standing side by side, you are a unit, you are one, representing love in one way or another.

It is more than just saying "I love you" or buying each other gifts, or alone time in the bedroom, or going on dates. It is really when two people are committed to each other, when two people would do anything for one another. Love is when you wake up in the morning next to the person you love and smile. Love is when you think about that person all the time and they are the only person you think about.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
