What is love? So many people are looking for love, looking for that partner that they can spend the rest of their lives with. One thing that I do tell people is that they need to understand themselves first, I believe that this is very important, you need to know YOU. What you like, what you don’t like, your own personal ethics and beliefs, what you will and will not allow to be done / said to you. Because love isn’t about what you give or what you receive, it’s not about commitment, honesty, respect, desire or communication, it’s not understanding, desire or companionship, however love does include all of those things. But what IS love? I believe that it is much more personal and that ultimately love is about how you feel when you are with them, that when you are with this person then you feel good about you, because if you feel good about you, then all of those others things that are included will happen naturally. Because when you feel good about you when you’re with this person, you will want to listen to them, you will want to respect them, you’ll want to communicate with them, you will want to only be with them. And because you feel good when you’re with them, then you will never lie to them, you will never disrespect them, you will never cheat on them because if you did, it would go against what you feel about you, it would hurt you to hurt them. If you disrespect them, then you disrespect yourself, if you lie to them then you’re lying to yourself and that doesn’t make you feel good.
Love is when you see your own reflection in them and you would never, ever consider treating them like they don’t matter. That is LOVE.
