What is love? Love has many meanings. Some say that love is magical thing.

Some say that love is

wonderful. Each of us has our own definitions about love. Based on the stories I read and on my
experience and knowledge, this is my definition about love.

Love is complicated thing, yet it can also be simple. Love consists of many things and it can be for
everyone. It can be of family, friends, lover and many more. It can fill you with happiness but it can also fill
you with sadness. Love consists of positive things and negative things. It is like that as love can be a
treasure that you keep close to your heart, yet it can also be something that caused your heart pain. It is
not an easy thing to get or to do, for it requires sacrifice, patience, trust, understanding, to be
unconditional, and many more.

If you would ask me to describe love in one sentence I wouldn’t be able to do it, as I have said love
consists of many things. It is like a borderline between good and bad. It can be happy and delightful, but it
can also be extremely sad and tragic. It can heal wounds, yet it can also create wounds. It can change
someone for the better or for the worse. It can be an inspiration but it can also be a desperation.

Love needs patience as it is not something that you can get immediately. If you love someone you need
to prolong your patience because they aren’t perfect and might cause some problems for you. So long as
you stay patient with them you’ll be able to help, understand, and love them more. Love also needs trust.
You can’t establish love without trust. I mean how can you say you love someone if you don’t even trust
them? If someone loves you it means that they trust you, and you must do well not to break that trust as it
is the foundation of love. Love also requires to be unconditional. If you love someone it means that you
love every good and bad side of that person. Loving a person means that you are accepting him/her as
he/she is. It also means to be giving happiness to a person without asking anything in return.

One of the things that people mistake about love is that you and the other significant person needs to be
together to be called love, but it really isn’t always like that. If you love someone you want the best for
them. Love is making someone happy even if it means that you have to let them go. It is doing the things
that are best for the significant other. The concept of sacrifice comes around here. Sometimes you have
to do sacrifices in order to show love.

In loving someone you need to follow your heart, but you also need to take your brain with you. In some
cases love can be an obsession and it is not good. Love can reach to a point of obsession if you follow
your heart without taking your brain with you. If you also just follow your heart you might not give the other
person a chance or a choice in a way that you force him/her to love you. Remember that you can’t force
someone to love you.

On the positive side, loving someone means that you can always find time to spend with them. That every
moment spent with them is important and memorable. That every memories you spent with them would
mean so much to you that you keep them close to your heart. Also, being with the one you love either
family, friends or lover, they can somehow make you happy even when you are feeling down. They can
make your dark days bright.

You will know that it is real love when you will be always there for that person. Whether the fun times or
the sad times. You’ll always be there to laugh with them, cry with them, and to spend time with them.
Love is knowing that even though you don’t always see the one that you love either in the family, friends
or lover, you know that they are there for you.
