What is Love?

Well, you probably think love is an emotional feeling between two people, giving each other the most of each other to keep the relationship alive. Having to remember our partners birthday, remembering the anniversary, remembering that important meeting that our partner has or even being present in our partner's family life.

You probably think that Love is feeding your baby when they are hungry, giving them attention when they hurt themselves, or clothing them so they would not feel cold. Giving all of your energy to raising, teaching and guiding them to the right things in life, keeping them away from death until they can decide for themselves what is good for them. Sitting there and sacrificing blood, sweat and tears to have a roof over their head, and materials so they could feel included.

You probably think love is about being there for those you love, sacrificing yourself, your time and space to help those around you in need to feel comfortable, heard and love, or even sitting there and giving your bodies to each other for the want of feeling love.

Well, this may be of a surprise, but no. Not a single one of these things are love. They are only but a fraction of what love truly is, "But how can you tell me what love is when you have only been on this earth for two decades? How can you give a precise definition of love when definition is only, but a perspective of what others see within themselves?" To those questions I can say, yes you are right I have only been on this earth for two decades, and yes, love is based on a definition of one's perspective. But, because I have only been on this earth for two decades and writing this perspective from my own, I will tell you that love is so much more than self-sacrifice. There is something that many of us overlook and seem to not quite grasp, or even if we do grasp seem to lose the true sense of it. The perspective of love is within each of us. Now how does that make sense? well that is the thing, love doesn't make sense.

Having to sit there and sacrifice yourself and label it as love is not what you call love. Love is simple but so complex to the human mind that we tend to organize and find a specific label of what it is into our life, calling it an emotion when it is more than just an emotion or action. Yet because of our consistent habit of labeling and defining we lose the meaning of love in the first place. When we start to lose the love that we say we have, we start to question ourselves "how can we say we have love when most of us in this world don't even know what love is?". Well, because your mind is still waiting for an answer, I can give you the scientific one. Love is an energetic field of higher vibrating atoms. Now, what the heck does that mean? well it means that the more your atoms within your body raises the more it stays in constant motion of vibration creating love. Now again, what the heck does it mean? Well, how far do you want to go down this path of questions? How far are you willing to go to find the truth of what love really is?

Are you willing to sit there and look at yourself with complete honesty and tell yourself that you are love? "But I am not love, I don't even know what it is, I have a past, toxic traits and do not even know how to live in this world!" I did not ask why you are not love, I ask if you are willing to look at yourself honestly and say that you are love? Are you willing to sit there and accept that this life of ours is only but a small fragment of energy that vibrates in constant rhythm of keeping us alive in a never-ending loop of love? Are you willing to start to accept the fact that human beings, humanity, are only the being of love? If no or hesitation rose through this reading then I bless you, I know you will find the answer eventually. Now if you are intrigued or wanting to know no matter what, I dare you to sit there with yourself and ask WHAT IS LOVE?
