We thrive off happiness just as much as we thrive off of hardships. Then again, hardships make us do absolutely crazy things we never thought we would do. Love makes us do crazy things. It is also one of the hardest things to do. Have you ever just completely, irrevocably, loved someone? Did it almost drive you insane? I bet it did. Yet, one of the main reasons we are motivated to do anything in this world is for love, to gain love, to keep love, out of love. It’s a pretty large word in our vocabulary. One that, ironically, no one can completely define. 

So, if you can’t fully explain it properly… is it even there? Or could it possibly just be another figment of our imagination.

Maybe we just long to care for another human being as much as we do ourselves. Maybe love isn’t real at all. Or, quite possibly… Love is like the air we breathe; you can’t see it. Or breathing in general… you just know when to do it. 

But imagine if you actually needed love like you need air to breathe. (A lot of people feel that you do) But I mean literally… With how often we all seem to fall in and out of love these days, maybe we do. Because for the most part, love is highly confused with lust these days. Love isn’t like the movies either, though. There’s a balance, right in the middle of the two. One that, honestly, a lot of people are too afraid to find. Which may be why it comes and goes so quickly these days.

As a famous person once said in a famous quote some time before I am saying this now, though: I am not afraid to fall in and out of love, what I fear the most is to never have one hundred percent, completely, and heart-shattering, loved at all.
