Love is all around
What is LOVE?
I always wanted to define what is Love.
I checked different places and articles and blogs and there are so many definition, how you can see.
The only but often forgotten purpose of living.
No one can understand what another person’s definition of love is.
Love is something that just can’t be explained in a thousand journals, but it can bring tears of joy in your eyes when you read a letter from your lover. Strange, isn’t it?
Love is so hard to define sometimes because it means so many different things to everyone. The type of love you feel for your mom is definitely different than the love you have for your significant other and so on and so on. There’s also a huge difference between a new love that comes with a pounding heart and sweaty palms and a longer love that is comfortable and kind.
