What is Love?

I don’t think love is real unless it is proven. Love is when two people really care about each other and want to keep a commitment with one another. There’s a quote that I’ve always said; “Everyone says love hurts, but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love. But in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again.” Many people confuse things like this with love, and it’s not true. Love is a beautiful thing. Love is meant to be shared with other people, not kept away from them. To love somebody isn’t just a strong feeling, it’s a decision, a judgment, and a promise. I think most people can know what love is when they see it. You might have seen it in public, read it in a book and imagined it, a movie, even a cartoon. I think the cartoon/movie that made me understand love, was the movie “Up.” I remember just watching Carl and Ellie (The married elderly couple) and thinking “Wow, they love each other and they show it so much.” Even though it was a cartoon, you could tell just by the way they looked at each other. Love is like the wind in a way, you can’t see it, but you know it’s still there. Love is love, no matter the form.
