LOVE...ITS TRUE ESSENCE

Yay! Got an adrenaline high on this topic alongside those who will pretend not to! Lol. So "let's talk about love baby" (P.S- If you don't know that song please you are not supposed to be here #18+...kidding not). Is anyone truly an expert at love!? I really don't think so neither are the views contained herein intended to reflect such :D.

So here's the JAMB question: what is Love? Errr...before you answer please refer to the statement above hehehe. There are 99 feelings you can define but love ain't one of them (Notice how lyrical am being! Haa..baddest ;). Love is simply that feeling you can't define, you experience it, it overwhelms you but defining it is akin to trying to catch smoke. You can describe it but you can't define it...makes sense? (or try holding your breathe for a while it will come). We might be tempted to define love as those butterflies in your stomach, adrenaline rush, senseless acts etc, stereotypical of a "Boy meets Girl" story but to say that is out of scope will be an understatement. True love...in its purest form is that in which reciprocity is not expected, it lasts a lifetime...it never dies. True love is helping that homeless person without any gains, sheltering that child from harm's way just because you want them to experience a better world than you have and various other selfless acts.

Most definitely there is romance...wild wild Romance (this is not why we are here though lol) but then there is True love, not to say the two don't entwine but let's not confuse both...very important. What a sad realization it is, knowing that so often is the word and its essence abused with reckless abandon yet we wonder why hate rules! Ever noticed how you transform when you genuinely harbor love in your heart...the glow is contagious but remember you can not give what you don't have, so overdose on self-love and watch it spread. I can't think of a better way to end this topic than with one of my favorite quotes: "To befriend your friend is easy but to befriend one who considers himself your enemy is the quintessence of true religion, the other is mere business"- Mahatma Gandhi.
