Thoughts on Love.
I was reading a blog recently from someone who asked what love really is. It made me think. I am questioning it now too. It is different for every person. I would like to think that loving someone means respecting and trusting them and wanting to share the rest of your life with the other person. It's hard to find the difference between love and lust. Lust is more for a sexual experience or attraction and although being attracted to your significant other is important, it isn't the basis for love. Sometimes I want to hold off hooking up with guys in order to see what I feel about the person I'm talking to non-sexually. It's easy to do the sex thing, but if you really want to love someone you have to trust them and know then inside and out and care about what they care about. I was in love once. Many years ago. The love wasn't reciprocated but it taught me a very important lesson: be careful with your heart. It's not healthy and shouldn't be easy to fall in love with every person you have met. Loving someone else means allowing yourself to be vulnerable and open and it's hard to do. I wish you luck with your new relationship, and just keep in mind, you'll know love when you are in it. One of those feelings you'll never forget once you know how it feels.
Hope that helps.
