How Can I Define Love?
As a drunk philosopher, Love! You see, is like a bottle of whiskey. It gets better with time but can also make you feel like crap the next morning.
Now being serious about love, love is a complex, messy, beautiful thing. It's a mix of emotions, actions, and choices. It's like trying to grasp a handful of sand; the harder you squeeze, the more it slips away.
But if I had to define what is love with detail and explanation, I'd say,
The first thing is the unconditional acceptance. Loving someone for who they are, flaws and all. Then 2nd selfless devotion. Putting others' needs before your own. Then 3rd vulnerable connection. Sharing your true self, risking hurt and rejection.Then 4th Enduring commitment. Standing by each other through life's ups and downs.And then the last one is the 5th unexplainable madness. That crazy, inexplicable feeling that makes you do silly things.
And it's not just romantic love. It's familial, platonic, self-love—all kinds of love.
You see, love is a verb, a choice, a journey. It's messy, beautiful, and worth every hangover. Cheers to love everyone!
I guess I need to drink to think about the mysteries of love.
