What does it mean to you? How important is it in your life?
Which kind of love? There are so many in the general sense it's to care for someone in a very deep and strong way where their welfare is of the utmost concern to you. Love is the most important thing in life.
Love means caring about another person's well-being more than you care about your own. It doesn't matter if it's a love of God, a spouse, a child or a friend. That's my opinion, anyway.
Love is simply the effortlessness of being with another
It's nothing like I've ever known before. Love is an open door.

This. ❤

I could have spent ages answering yet you boiled it down beautifully x

I'd like to add if I may- in my opinion, demonstrating real love is easier if you have self worth and respect. Giving unconditionally is commendable, yet soul destroying at times. You cannot give it if you don't believe in yourself or the powers love holds. X
I really cannot add to what Burquette and Emily have said so succinctly and yet eloquently. But I have now discovered a love which transcends anything I have know before - the love one has for a grandchild, which quite simply takes ones breath away (I am writing this after having my almost one year old granddaughter staying with us for five days in our holiday cottage in Scotland).
I was JUST discussing with my daughter the idea of unconditional love (she has her first official date this weekend for Homecoming!) and tried to drive home that while parental love is unconditional, romantic love should ALWAYS be conditional - if he treats you poorly, if you give way more to the relationship than he does, get out! It was, to be honest, more a lecture than a discussion.

Personally, I think it is a pooling of your lives together, so that the other person's desires and needs become the same as your own, and carry equal importance. There is a lot of beautiful synchronicity involved, where your lives simply intertwine naturally because you recognize some deep connection with each other.

But there is hard work involved too, because there are going to be disagreements, and misunderstandings. Love itself isn't enough. Love doesn't conquer shit. You have to have the commitment and patience to work things out when it's not all flowers and sunshine. That's when the work of truly understanding each other begins, compromising in those areas where you disagree, and not only accepting but embracing and celebrating the uniqueness of the one you love.

Yes, Emily, the Divine Ms. B is awesome in her ability to say it in 3 words or less!!
I think what you are saying is something I have been saying for years: Love is putting your faith in someone else.....but to do that, you have to have faith in yourself and in life. Faith in life? Yes, that if you do love life it loves you right back! [Contrarily, if you hate life, it hates you right back.]
So I think you both have said something that fuses together.

I would say that if you have self-respect, you know when your love isn't being returned. Then you can make a conscious decision to continue and let someone use you, or get out and find someone who can return your care.

But you're 100% correct. Self-respect keeps you from being love's doormat.

They say don't sweat the small stuff, but love is, often times, the small stuff. A quick text letting the other know you're ok can mean the world to someone. It did to me, anyway.


"Love is, often times, the small stuff." Perfectly put.
Being there for each other when anyone else would have left, kinda
Love to me is when me and somebody connects on a deep spiritual level and we both can fully understand each other and we also share the same interests and goals in life so we are basically friends before we became lovers.
But right now I'am not looking for love or hookups I just want a new start on life in order to escape from my nightmarish past.
Nothing right now, the one guy that I truly thought I loved I couldn't be with cause I was already married, then when I got a divorce, soon after that I found out that he was going through a divorce, but our paths never crossed again, there is never a day that goes by that I don't think of him and regret not pursuing him any further....

Why haven’t you looked him up? Is it ever too late?
Love is loving yourself fully before you can love any other person.
Maybe I’m selfish but love is not putting somebody’s needs before my own, it’s being with a person who never requires you to diminish yourself for their benefit. It’s knowing your partner wants you to have everything you need and knowing that because of that you can give them that much more.

love is many things

Shameless pug.






Love you, Mom.
The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
I don't know really. I think it gets hyped up to be this incredible, wonderful thing for movies and holidays and jewellery and flowers but it's not much more than really liking someone. I think there's a love parents have for children (decent parents) but as for love at first sight and the idea of soulmates etc. it really seems fake and pretentious. I'd believe it if people that claimed it stayed together forever and didn't hurt one another but the ones who make the most fuss are the ones who conveniently fall 'out of love'. It doesn't matter anyway. People should be decent and kind and treat one another right without any need to dress it up as anything else.
