Love is what keeps us alive. Without it, we would only live by needs and never know the joy of giving.
Did You Know?
In 2012, ‘What is love’ was the most searched phrase on Google.
When I was young, my mom made me read the newspaper everyday. One thing I never missed out on, was the Love Is… cartoon that came in the byline everyday. These were the first few lines I read about love and they have played an important part in forming by views about this emotion. Let’s understand this beautiful emotion called love, through them.
Love is … That First Meeting By The Water Cooler
Remember the first time you both met. Wasn’t that a beautiful moment? Didn’t you immediately feel that there was something special happening to you? How many such special moments have passed since then? Love is important because it gives you such special moments to smile and laugh throughout your life. Love brings happiness into your life and the company of a special one that lasts forever. Love is important because, without love, our life would lack such special moments and days―our life would be incomplete. Life becomes a wonderful journey when it passes through these brilliant memories.
Love is … Your Secret Weapon
Love is important because it gives you the strength to fight your weaknesses. It helps you survive through bad times, with a smile on your face. It helps you fight every negative emotion which shouldn’t exist in your life. Love is important because it can kill a thousand worries with one smile, with one hug. Love can fight the entire world. Love is important because it brings people to together. It stays on your side forever, even after the person you loved is no more. Love stays with you even when you’re defeated, only to make you stronger and try again.
Love is … Unexpected
Love will happen to you even if you don’t want it. Without love, you can survive but with love, you can learn how to live. Have you ever felt what it is to go weak in your knees and experience the thunder bolt? Once in a lifetime, everyone experiences it. Today or sometime later, your special someone will walk by and you’ll connect just like magnets do. Can it happen more than once? Why, of course. Just as unexpectedly as it happened the first time.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
―Laozi
Love is … Supporting Each Other in Old Age
Love is important because it assures you a better tomorrow. It promises a future with happiness and contentment. Love makes us feel that no matter how old we become, we’ll always have one another. Love is thinking she’ll look more beautiful at 80. Love is telling her how gray hair makes her look pretty. Love is, knowing you’ll have someone to praise you and give you attention even when you have less number of teeth and speed of a snail. Love promises support for a lifetime. Love is knowing someone will wish you good morning and goodnight every single day.
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.
―Sarah Dessen
Love is … A Sign That Spring Can’t Be Far Away
Love is important because it teaches you there is always going to be hope. It teaches you that when bad times are here, good times are on their way. Love is when you smile through your tears. Love is when you learn to see the silver lining. Love is when sadness doesn’t affect you, because you know happiness can’t leave you for long. Love is when a hug assures you that everything is going to be fine. Love is important because it gives you a high when times are low. Love teaches you to have patience for the good and some more of it for the best. Love tells you that even though winters are bad, they are here to only make way for the spring.
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
―Dr. Seuss
Now that you know why love is important and so necessary in life, don’t let go of it. Let me leave you with some beautiful lines.
Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That’s leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose…you’re everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won’t let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
―Everything, Lifehouse
