Woah you’re right. Maybe we need love because it makes us feel alive 
you know you’re alive when you have feelings.

i believe that (unless you’re a psychopath) people can hold love for so many things. people, objects, even places because love is a deep admiration.
but in my opinion, you can only fall IN LOVE once. there’s only one person who you’d choose each and every time, only one that you can ever truly be meant for. this doesn’t mean i believe in soulmates, because i don’t. nothing is meant to be, that’s honestly a fairytale ideal.
you can love many. but who would you actually miss so much so, you’d give up everything you could because you’re that desperate to see them again?
and “love at first sight”? i have mixed feelings here. as i said, love is a deep admiration so yeah, you could love one’s appearance. not their mind and soul, however. so technically it’s just lust.
oh, and i don’t think saying “i love you” is necessary. if you need that validation, then that’s totally okay. but i wouldn’t want anyone forcing me to say that since it’s pretty uncomfortable. it doesn’t mean that you don’t care about them, it’s like marriage. i don’t believe that marriage is important either, i wouldn’t want to get married unless my significant other truly wanted it. i’d do it for them because i would only ever marry someone i sincerely saw me being with forever, that’s it. marriage is just a confession of love on paper.
i don’t know, i guess the word “love” means nothing to me because of how loosely we use it.
“i love fruit!”
“i love the originals!”
comparing these enjoyable things to people you are supposed to care deeply about? yeah, not for me. like i said, no disrespect to others with a different opinion!

I see what you’re getting at !! You’re pretty much saying that love is real but people tend to take it too far or blown out of proportion !! Yeah I actually get that because love at first sight is bull LOL

idk, i think it’s just about what we’re used to or what happened in our lives to make us feel that way.
i always say that the opportunities you were given at birth influence who you are, and that it takes immense strength to not become the person everyone is expecting.

I definitely believe in love BUT not what we see on TV? Like I’ve been in a relationship for years and I definitely love my boyfriend, but it’s not butterflies and constant feeling of being on a cloud 9. To me it’s more a feeling of safety and knowing, that the other person knows me and would do everything in his power to bring me happiness and that I feel the same way too!

Haha thanks😂
And yeah, if you realise that what media/TV shows isn’t real and isn’t a standard and it’s not something you should expect, then I think you’ll be way happier!

I definitely believe that love is real, just maybe not how you expect it to be. I’ve heard it said that love is an action, not just a feeling. And true love requires you to put the other person first. And no two relationships look the same! There’s no one “right” way to find love, it just happens! Love takes some serious work, but I believe it’s real and worth it!

Honestly, just bc you love someone, that does not mean you should put them first. NO, you need to think about yourself first. If you can’t do that, how you going to put another person “first”?
It also sounds toxic and red flaggy.

Actually I don’t.
I never saw a male that’s nice n like every male relative is an asshole to be honest so I don’t think love is real it’s just an illusion or something!

I definitely see where you’re coming from. Being forced to love someone out of guilt or a chore isn’t a good thing. It’s definitely important to make sure your personal needs are being met first before pouring into someone else. I hope that clarifies what I meant?

For sure! Its important to rid of yourself of toxic people though, doesn’t matter if they are “family” or not.

I believe it’s physically impossible to love someone else if you don’t love yourself first. Just like you wouldn’t be able to help someone in a dangerous situation if you aren’t out of danger or you’re hurt yourself.
Yes guys, first you take care of yourself and then you can think about other people (who still shouldn’t be above you!)
