Love.

Love, what is love? Is it that warm feeling you get when you know you've always got someone to lean on? Or is it the rush that passes through your entire body each time you get a glance of that significant person's face? Everyone has their definition of love. In my previous post I said that it takes a lot of courage to embrace this thing called "love" so that is why I salute those people who do. For some of you who don't know me, I am not really a big fan of love well excluding my parents of course. It's a scary thing to fall in love with someone. I came across this quote on tumblr that goes a little bit like this, "love overpowers the mind, possesses the heart and blinds the eyes." I couldn't agree more! When you're in love, everything is nice and dandy but it will not be that way forever because someday, somehow there will be a person who'll get bored of the other, someone will want to call it quits. Even the thought of "how long will this last?" scares the hell out of me because everyone knows that nothing lasts forever. Promises will not be fulfilled, hearts will be broken, words will always just be words, action will not take place and flaws will just be another reason to break up with that person. Honestly right now, that is my definition of love. Might sound a wee bit cold hearted but it's true. I'm not one to open up and tell everything to any Tom, Dick and Harry, I take my time, get to know that person but it'll still be hard for me to trust someone. Inevitably, life is a cycle. You break someone's heart, they'll go on breaking others. You hurt someone, they'll do the same to others. You break someone's trust and forever they'll have trust issues and that's not even the worst part yet but I'm getting to it now. The worst part is that when this so called "messed up" person meets an actual genuine person, he/she will put the burdon on him, make him/her go through all these unnecessary obstacles because the last person she/he was with has broken him/her in to his/her basic elements and I think it's a pity to these people who become a victime to their prey (which is the person who is often called the heart-breaker) but then again, that's life. You have to go through hard times to appreciate the good ones, no? But I have a solution to make everyone feel better when their heart gets broken. Take a deep breath and think about this, that useless person who lead you on and broke your heart will end up falling in love one day too and their heart will be ripped out of their chess due to karma and hopefully, they will learn their lesson because people, the worst thing you can do to someone is lead them on with no intention of being with them at all. I know I'm no saint but that's the most cruel thing to do. It's like taking a cat, putting it in front of a fish and tying him to a wall so it can't run and eat the fish, don't worry, I'm fully aware that I most probably don't make sense right now. But basically what I'm trying to say is this, if you see someone that you are sure you want to be with, go for it. Prove it. If you're just in it to lead them on and whisper sweet things in their ears with the sole intention to give your ego a boost or just to get in to their pants, then just leave. Because this is exactly how the cycle begins. It only takes a few seconds to distinguish your feelings for someone.
