Love

By: Alexandra Forman

    Love is one of the most powerful and beautiful feelings people get to experience in their lives. Whether it's with a significant other, a family member, a pet, or a friend, that feeling is like nothing else. The greatest love of all, in my opinion, is when you fall in love with someone and they fall in love with you too. Living everyday with that sense of reassurance that there is someone out the who loves and cares for you as much as you do for them is one of the best things out there.

    I find it unfortunate that there are people in the world who never get to experience what it is like to be in love. When you are in love with someone they make u feel euphoric. No matter what goes wrong in your life, knowing that you have them makes it all okay. Being in love allows you to be doing some of the most boring things you've ever done, but since you are with that special person you still have a good time no matter what you do. I believe that you know you love someone when you find yourself running to them when you are having a rough time, or you're out having the time of your life with your friends and wish they were there with you. 

    While love has its beautiful moments, at times it can be one of the hardest things. It is great to have someone in your life to share your love with, but love can cause you to do crazy things. When the people you love most in life hurt you, you are more likely to forgive them for it because of how you feel about them. It is safe to say that if someone you barely knew hurt you the same way you would not hesitate to put them in their place. When you are in love it is different. People can find themselves letting the ones they love walk all over them because they are scared of standing up for themselves in fear that their significant other will leave them. Being in love can also have you texting your ex after a breakup or being extra clingy because the feeling you have for this special person is so overwhelming that it becomes out of your control.

    There is a saying out there that "true love never fails", so basically if it fails it wasn't true love. I disagree with this statement. I believe that you can fall in love with multiple people throughout your life. Everyone comes into our lives to teach us a lesson, or they could just be what we needed in that moment. You can truly love someone and not end up with them for the rest of your life. Each experience you have with a significant other is different than the last. I find it sad when people break up with each other and wind up hating one another. Regardless of what happened between them it breaks my heart to see people go from being so insanely in love with one another to taking that love and turning it into hate instead.

    Overall, love can be a magical, beautiful, and heart breaking thing. No matter what happens between you and the people you fall in love with, falling in love is an experience everyone should have in their life. The feeling you get when you feel this way about someone is indescribable. Love can get you through the hardest times. At the end of the day, it is about who you have in your life and not what you have.
