i spit in the face of nostalgia!

NOTE TO THE PUBLIC: I've just finshed reading the archives of a certain someone (whose name I won't expose to the people who visit my blog just because I don't want to..hehe) which prompted me to write something scientific, just like the ones I have posted waaaay back. And as usual, the topic is all about lav.

All of us have felt a thing that we claim to be love. Most of us try their hardest to ignore the feeling while others go to the extreme just to show how they truly feel. The rest simply remian apathetic; numb to say the least.

What is it abou this thing they call love? Movies, songs, poems, teleseryes dictate that love is something that emotionally affects you drastically. That love can change a person inwardly and outwardly. Then again, is this what love is all about? Is it just a facet of romanticism? Or is it greater than what we think it is?

Truth be told, love is not limited to holding hands, serenades, sugar-coated moments and sex. If that is the case, then we are entitled to have sex with the ones we hold dear, regardless of gender or kinship. On the other hand, love is something that should be expressed. It is not something that should be concealed. Otherwise, that's not love.

Perhaps the most shocking truth of all is that love is not strictly a feeling. If it is, then we are entitled to get the heebeejeebees everytime we see our parents, best friends, etc. On the other hand, love is something that we decide to express. Love doesn't wait for emotional outbursts. What it requires is a firm decision to love and do everything it takes to love.

Love also does not rely in fairy tale beginnings. Magical events may happen, but love couldn't care less. What love aims for however, is fairy tale endings, even if it is not guaranteed.

It is sad that today's generation really do not love at all. They are simply guided by the one principle that emotions rule the heart. They are simply infatuated, not in love. One cannot say that he has loved if he only heard it in his heart. A person who is in love is one who remains rational and strong, both for himself and the one he treasures.
