My personal thoughts on Love

I keep reading these posts and hearing other ppl talk about Love. They talk of love, but yet they also mention manipulation,control,suffocation etc. Call me a fool or call me young, w/e the case maybe, I just dont see love as allowing this. If you truly loved someone, there is no place for any of this, no deceit, no head games, none of it. Love to me, is a pure, deep, new snow, its perfect and untainted. Im not sure how other ppl view it, but hearing all these things, mentioned in the same line, I find disturbing. The same people that are treated this way, or treat others this way are creating a cycle of bad relationships which are bound to reproduce themselves at a different time, with different people. Perhaps if some people just stood back and actually enjoyed the sensation, maybe remember what it was that actually made you fall in love w/ the person, maybe things would be better. Learn to let go of what some horrible person did to you in the past and learn to be honest with yourself, and whoever it is you love. Just my thought on a reoccuring theme I keep seeing.

There are all kinds of versions of love, depending from person to person. Love does often times correspond with the past. Which is not necessarily a bad thing if you learned to do something more positive for yourself. Although most of the time, people turn negative. I use to see love as a force that transcends everything. I don't quite see it that way anymore. Love is more fragile than powerful and its not to be taken lightly. In the beginning it has no boundaries, but as time goes on, it becomes fragile in most cases.

I can see it as fragile I suppose. I dont think that ppl place enough value on it I suppose, you got to admit, this is a pretty cruel world and a feeling so innocent as love, is bound to be something cherished. I can see how some people feel the way they do, heartbreak after heartbreak, and that seems a tragedy to me, but its the nature of two different people trying to make something work. Let go whatever happened in the past, simply being in love will allow you to act accordingly.

Sometimes that's easier said than done for most people. The past is a teacher of lessons that can be used for future purposes. Love can be beautiful, but it can also be devastating. I agree with shattered dreamz though...too many negative elements often attempt to manipulate love into something its not. Im slightly turned off about it as well because I do see it as something much purer, but the idealistic view of it often is shattered by these negative forces. I think everyone wants to be respected, appreciated and cherished in their own way.

Love is not meant to be under one definition because a lot of people have different views about it, but I think the one thing we can all agree on is that love brings happiness even in the darkest times.

I wish love was that way. (perfect)
But I feel like our past make us cautious. If we've been hurt, then our gaurd is up. Some even have a I'll hurt you before you hurt me attitude. Others just fade away if things are going right. I think those with strong personalities seem as though they are taking advantage when they are not or at least not trying to. It differs from person to person. In a perfect world, yeah, that kind of love sounds great. But in a world of broken souls we all adapt to maintain.
