A Universal Question
What is LOVE...
I've never realised nor stopped to ask if someone had the same definition as me. Till a few weeks back, I've always assumed that everyone had the same views -- that there is a universal consensus, an innate recognition.
Everyone knows there are different types and levels of love. And there is also care, which maynot necessary translate to love. Love is a very specialised area within us, a core we guard stringently, only allowing the most qualified through. Yet once there, the person stays forever, and a part of you gets lost in exchange.
Do opposites really attract? Or do we naturally seek out those of similar upbringing and culture? Nothing is fixed. There is no answer given the variety of coupling, yet sometimes we still ask ourselves -- is this right for me? We are so different, how can it work?
Perhaps the answer lies in motivation. How much do you want it to work? And how much is the universe in favour of the current situation.
Some relationships are smooth as silk, while others rip and tear at every turn. What makes one work and not the other? What makes people split up even if they love each other to death?
Love is...
being asked how u are when u're down
being there when u're sad
being offered some veg during lunch
being cooked noodles at 2am
being bought nail polish removal when your fingers are all stuck
someone picking up the slack when u've reach breaking pt and start to cry in frustration
someone buying u satay and listening to your tears with sympathy
flushing cat/hamster bites with baytril
remembering yr birthday when everyone else had forgotten
welcomes u with a smile everytime u meet up
never giving up on u (ever)
Love is also...
being there to be vented on
to counsel, and suggest an alternative
to add cheer and laughter
to tease and annoy
to argue till we sing like mice
to quarrel like mad but still know it's gonna be ok
to steal the tissue box from the toilet and still be forgiven
to ask for many many towels and still be welcomed (g)
ignoring the return policy and embracing all quirks and defects as unique
helping each other grow (sideways or otherwise lol)
