The Reality About Love
Love is a surreal set of feelings that are universal in the sense that love can be of many sorts. Our cognitive definition of love indicates that it is what we feel to someone we really like and admire. It may be sensual; it may be because of obedience, passion, or literally anything else. People can’t objectify something they love, even if it’s just an object that belongs to them. Love can’t be bought, but affection, apparently, can be bought.
Love is engaging and stimulating. A lot of people say that they love someone or something, but it is often true, and they just confuse love with care and responsibility. In typical relationships, love is actually not mandatory. Not every couple loves each other, and they don’t know that because they don’t know what love is. Love may or may not involve struggle, but it must have charisma and chemistry. The sort of feeling we sometimes feel when our favorite song starts in a concert, the type of weather where we want to suddenly run like we’ve never run before, the smile that rises in our face when we realize that it’s a good day to be alive. That is how love is meant to be. It isn’t just a biochemical reaction of Dopamine, Serotonin, and Oxytocin in our brain; it’s more than that. But it is, in a way, related to happiness, of course. When we break down and define something, we don’t proclaim its chemical compositions. But lately, a lot of people are defining love like that. It is just stereotyping something that’s really special, and I have no idea about what they had been through to actually do that.
The difference between love and admiration is that love has a bright, eccentric sensation that embraces you with total euphoria whenever you’re indulged with the one person or thing you love. It doesn’t have to be the reason you wake up for, but what makes you happy when you do. People have a better grasp of all the emotions relating to love at a younger age because our brain has a greater taste of all the new things. This shouldn’t essentially mean that we are good with just loving as we mature; rather, we should find newer things to do in love to hold onto those emotions.
“If I told you this was only gonna hurt
If I warned you that the fire’s gonna burn
Would you walk in?
Would you let me do it first?
Do it all in the name of love.”
— Lines from the lyrics of “In the Name of Love” by Bebe Rexha, Martin Garrix
Finding love can be hard, and it can be even harder to try to find it again after you thought you found it, but then you realize that you didn’t. Break-ups and one-sided love have the potential of being a great motivator sometimes. The power of love can do great things to a person, which can radically change him, but more importantly, great things happen when in love.
“I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy.”
— Martin Garrix feat. Lewis Capaldi, “Someone You Loved.”
When in true love, you don’t ask yourself if it will last; you keep finding new ways to make it last. The greatest lovers who made history with their stories were actually no more in love than you can’t be. Everyone has the ability to love to the fullest, but most people never have. To get to the most exciting part of love, it is essential to be brave and mad in a perspective of passionately loving like you’ve never loved before.
“You could put an ocean between our love, love, love
It won’t keep us apart
You could build a wall, I would run it up, up, up
Just to get to your heart
If we’re caught in a wave
Baby, we’ll make a way
You could put an ocean between our love, love, love
It won’t keep us apart.”
— Martin Garrix feat. Khalid, “Ocean”
Real love cannot be compared to anything else. It is bliss.
