What Is Love…
…According to my guts.
Who doesn’t feel lonely from time to time?
Recently I watched a romantic comedy which inspired me to write this article. It was a movie about a writer.
He had a screenplay about love but never really felt the true romantic love.
With the writer’s block and an agent on his ass to create a rom-com, he was kinda lost. Without really knowing how to describe what love is all about. Until fate decided to put his significant other in his life. Then it got messy.
Do you see some similarities here?
I have experienced some nice relationships in my life. Funny enough, all of them came when I was feeling best about myself.
Either because I was overflowing confidence and self-love with a project going on, or because I was just in some high frequency moment.
For me, going out on dates having social anxiety isn’t one of the easiest things. When I stop to analyze the love thing, it just becomes a fateful desire.
I feel better alone with myself than with someone that is a distraction.
Thinking clearly, entering a new relationship isn’t exactly the way that I’m going to solve my problems right now.
With 21, I’m working on building my life so that I can share it with someone meaningful later.
When we enter a relationship, we are two people going in the same direction. Our choices are for two. The places we go, the hobbies we have, the food we eat. Gosh… overwhelming.
If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
Even though I’m not the kind of person that watches a lot of movies, these cheesy romantic movies are the exact distraction that makes me feel a certain way. And watching this movie I felt love.
I could see myself as the main character, and then it hit me.
What love really is.
We can’t write about it. We can’t explain it. We can’t come up with miraculous scientific explanations about chemicals and hormones.
Love is a feeling. It’s a feeling.
At the end of the day, I’s a tangible thing.
Love is how you feel. We can only try to romanticize it putting inside a box and define it using language and fancy words.
Some genius from the past were able to make us feel love because of their creations.
Shakespeare, Bob Marley, Beatles... They all knew the exact buttons to push.
But at the end of the day, love is not outside of use. It’s inside.
Now, love is one of those concepts that only increases by sharing.
Because it’s a feeling, we don’t have less by sharing, we get more of it.
Sometimes the best answers come after we call our parents and say some nice things. It’s important that we don’t give up on love. The world doesn’t need more grumpy people. When we are in love, we are colorful and radioactive.
And nothing better than cultivating self-love. Going on with life with ease is a byproduct of feeling the kind of feelings associated with the word love.
But this is so complex that I’m not even sure that I know what I’m saying anymore. Just wanted to share that I watched a movie and it made me think.
If you want to know the movie is called Playing It Cool.
It’s a 6/10 worthy of a mention on this story.
But yeah, the thing about love is learning how to love our life so much that when another significant person comes to our life, it becomes a natural and beautiful process of rising in love, instead of falling in love.
Believe and trust that It’s going to be easy and it will be easy.
As Always,
Thanks For Reading ❤
