True love is not being with someone because you think you can be happy with that person, but because without that person you know you can never be.
Because love is complex and undefined, I would have to apologize beforehand for the lack of continuity in the text that would follow.
Love is so abstract and so undefinable (if there's such a word) that people are often confused on how to identify it. I am no expert at this and I have been crashed and burned a lot of times but I am going to define love the way I understand it. For me, love isn't always that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. As what Julie Andrew once said, " All love shifts and changes. I don't know if you can be wholeheartedly in love all the time". Ideally, we want love to be at it's best but we can never stray from the fact that love has it's challenges and hardships and confusion ( not necessarily on the feelings but could be on the situation or the decision to fight for it). And that's what makes love strong, right? People who have gone through the hardest & the toughest trials are those who are the strongest. I think that's the whole essence of love - being able to surpass challenges with the one you love. People are not always happily in love. But if they truly love the other person, even if she hates the way he snores, she would still want to lie in bed at night with him and fall into slumber. Love is complex. You hate the other person's mannerism yet you still want to stay and grow old with him/her. I guess that's it. Love is wanting to grow old with someone even though life promises to be hard. ♥
