How easy is it to explain feelings? Like, hate, admire, regret, most emotions are easy to understand, to recognize, they are easy, because they symbolize one thing each, but love... Love is different, yes it is a chemical reaction in our brains, but the weird part about it is not that. The weird part is that it is hard to recognize the feeling, and it is easy to mess it up with other ones.
Sometimes we think we love when we don't, sometimes we think we don't love when we do. What makes it so complicated? What makes us so confused? Is it even real? Why does it make us so confused when it is supposed to be easy?
The first thing I would like to bring forth is mothers love for her children. Most parents would do anything for their little ones, we call it love. A mixture of survival instinct, wonder and sense of belonging, sense of having someone from your own blood. Love is a feeling like none other, because it is built up from other feelings, that are not always the same. It is more complex than just liking or hating somebody.
Love of another person is a different mixture of feelings, but in the end of the day it is built on not wanting to be lonely. That is what makes me think that love is so misinterpreted with couples. Loneliness is a strong emotion, the feeling that makes us think that we don't belong, that we are alone, no one understands us. The feeling of being alone is the one that makes us rush into things, we so desperately want to connect to somebody that sometimes we end up creating temporary fading love.
Of course, those are the explanations I have come up with. How true these are is each persons own decision. For me love is built up from all the small things, understanding, compassion, liking, the feeling that you can be yourself and yes, love itself. The feeling that makes butterflies come alive in our bellies, the feeling that makes our hearts beat faster, the feeling that makes us a little afraid of loosing the other. It is a connection of all the emotions, linking in weird patterns and making us crazy one time or another.
Love is a mixture of everything, that is why it is so easy to misplace, I mean, look at parental love, they will get angry at you, because they love you and are afraid for your safety, they will hug you and cry because they were afraid you were gone, they will help you with issues that they think are ridiculous. And all this with patience and struggle at the same time. Love ventures in the both sides of us, it is not only good or bad emotions, it is both.
In the end it is wonderful, because there is no other feeling that is so strong, it makes you fly and it makes you strive for more, for all there is, there is love everywhere, in life, in each other, in nature, sun and food. Just a little bit in each, different amounts in every single thing. What or who we feel the most love toward is our own thing, we can't necessarily choose, but when we find that one thing it is worth holding on. I know I will, because for me love is an explosion of all the positive things to fight for.
I love my brother, I love my mom and I love my partner. I try to love myself and I love the world around, so I try to be better for all of it and I always will.
I would love to hear what love is for you, so feel free to share!
I wish you a great day and life filled with love for each other,
Linda

fantastic post, i also like to mentioned that love is not a comment with another person. Love is never between two individuals. It is the thing that occurs inside you, and what occurs inside you require not be oppressed to another person. for 15 to 20 minutes day by day, run sit with something that makes no difference to you perhaps a tree, or a stone, or a worm or a bug. After some time, you will discover you can look upon it with as much love as you do your better half or spouse or your mom or your youngster. Possibly the worm does not know this. That doesn't make a difference. In the event that you can take a gander at everything affectionately, the entire world ends up noticeably excellent as far as you can tell. You understand love is not something that you do; love is how you are. thanks for sharing

Wow !!! Awesome. You know what love is!! I am amazed to find such an opinion about love. I also wrote about the reality of love recently in a poem but I wish I read your comment before that. I will write an article about it now. Thanks.

Hey linda, good to read this article!! But I doubt about parental love as well. At my place, the parents here are different I believe. Here, they expect from their children that they will take care of them when they get old. And I believe love shouldn't be conditional.
Understanding love was not difficult for me when I realised that love isn't selfish, isn't painful, isn't demanding, but instead it's selfless, feels like a blessing and knows only to give, not to take. What a coincidence that I recently wrote a poetry describing the reality of love. Have a look at it if you get time. :) It is titled as SPURIOUSNESS OF TRUE LOVE.
Keep up the good work :). Keep writing such good articles :)

I know, I put the ''most'' parents love, because I have seen families where parents don't have that connection with their children, there are always parents that see children as burden.
I think that is true in most of the world, parents at least hope that their children will take care of them when the time comes, it is hard sometimes to understand if there is real love involved, especially when there are seemingly expectations everywhere.

So true. I believe we can learn it from animals and nature. They love without expectations!

Awesome post @lindahas. Thank you for describing Love in a way that you experience it. I've been searching the meaning of Love for years but the moment I put meaning in it, I have narrowed the meaning of Love into something. For my mind, it is awesome to know the meaning but not for the Spirits.
Then I realised, that Love is best to be felt without naming it. The presence of Love can manifest in many forms. The simplest ones (from my experience) is looking at a cat that is looking at me. So I made this as my practice. Surprisingly, it enhances my Self-Love, and therefore it enhances my love for others (not just human).

That sounds so sweet, I totally agree, love is better left alone word-wise, it is a feeling and only by giving into the feeling itself, we can understand it completely :)

Nice topic and true saying that it is a chemical reaction in our brains when we try to understand love it leaves us feeling lost and confused.when you try to control it destroy us. Loneliness kills whenever someone who falls in love and your eyes ever want to see the ones whom you love brains all time think about even when you try to sleep its hard to close eyes.

Your thoughts on love and feelings relate very well with my blog post “Human Emotion Physically Shapes Reality.” Thinking about them together leads me on to the greatest commandment according to the Christ. That is for man to love God with all his soul, all his heart and with all his strength. And the second part of this greatest commandment, is for man to love his neighbor as he loves himself.
The title of my post “Human Emotion Physically Shapes Reality” is the conclusion of a number of scientific experiments posted in https://www.lifecoachcode.com/2017/02/26/emotion-shapes-reality/. As emotions and feelings are volitional attributes of man then it must be true that man is solely responsible for and the creator of his own reality. Is it any wonder then that the most important commandment according to Christ, is about love?
The commandment presupposes that man must love himself first before he can love others. Thus I fully agree with your thought that we ourselves become love itself. It seems as if it is not possible to love others if you don’t love yourself first.
Love therefore becomes the primary and ultimate essence of human life and reality.

Love is.....
It does not have to be forced or imposed
feeling of love without being loved, willing to sacrifice as long as she is happy,even though you can only see her from afar
about a feeling when you say I really hate you and somehow when she goes you miss her..
What else? .. love is Weird and also a mystery xD
