Would you believe me if I were to say that love can bring both joy and misery at the same time? Would you believe me if I were to tell you that just one glance of that special girl, never will I forget her for the rest of my life? Would you believe me if I were to say that you will one day feel like you love and hate someone at the same moment? Love is extraordinary, something so foreign that nobody can ever describe it in detail. One thing's for sure, listening about it is never the same as experiencing it first-handedly. Sometimes, I do feel that the word is abused and perhaps, overused, that its value is lost between lines. Let me just start by asking, what is love? Yeah... What exactly is love? Well, if you look up the dictionary, it states that love is a deep, passionate feeling for someone or something. But I guess each and everyone has their own definition of love. Honestly, I don't really know how to define it myself. To most, in our teenage lives, love simply means having a significant other, to be able to talk to when we're happy or sad, to be able to hold someone else's hand in the cinema.
That was love to me before, but not anymore. Now, I believe that love is a great thing not many had the chance to experience. Those who had will definitely agree with me. But like everything else in this world, there's the pros and, of course, there's the cons. Nothing is perfect, as the saying goes. When you do find true love, hurt never fails to tag along. It's like they're destined to be together for eternity.
Have you ever loved someone and be loved by him/her all in one? Isn't that an awesome feeling? But what happens when one's feeling fades away, leaving only a single party giving 100% commitment while the other only gives a miniscule proportion of... love? Pure hurt comes when you feel your heart shattering each and every time you say "I Love You". You start to drift apart, thinking when the day is going to arrive. The day he/she finally says "We're not meant for each other" or "I don't want to do this anymore". When facing those questions, you ask yourself, should I confess how much I love him/her? Pleadingly beg for a second chance? Apologize for the mistakes you never commited? Or just, simply let go and maybe, get the chance to move on. Telling yourself if you truly love that particular person, you only want him/her to be happy and don't mind going through the pain. You know something? True love is painful and requires numerous sacrifices for your other half. Whatever it is you might say, from my point of view, love is sucking out the pain, sorrow, agony of your loved one and injecting it all into yourself. Just by seeing that special person smile, don't you think it's worth all the pain?
For those of you who have had your heart ripped before, the pain is excruciating, no doubts about that. But are you going to go through the rest of your life just like that? With your heart out of your chest and having a bad day, one after another? If you were to ask me, well, that's how I will be. It actually depends on how your past relationships were like. If you have loved the other like you'll never love again, it could make you feel like you're going insane. That is how cruel life can sometimes be.
Try to think of happier times. The moments that you will never forget. Reminisce. Were tears that evaporated from your cheeks worth it? I've got to admit, although difficult, but yes. Every second of it was worthwhile. It is this simple - someone dear was sent by God to meet your needs for a reason and both of you get together. But when the flames are forced to perish, only sweet memories will be left to cherish. Finally, you realize that to mend a broken heart is just a matter of time, to set yourself free and release that bind. In the end, still wounded and scarred, you muster up your courage to accept that it was never meant to be.
In conclusion, take pictures, joke around, laugh, and love like you've never been hurt whenever you get yourself into a relationship. Don't ever hesitate to give your 100% to that special someone because without giving your fullest, you will never achieve true happiness. Look beyond sadness, look at the brighter side of things. Every sixty seconds you spend staying upset and hurt is a minute of happiness you'll never get back in return.
