Your definition of love, in great detail:
Huh, I don't know if I am in the right space to really write this eloquently but I will give it a whirl. Just to preface, I had my birthday party last night and start school tomorrow. I haven't showered all day and have done nothing but watch Whale Wars and Jersey Shore.
I think what this entry is prompting is a definition of romantic love, but I am going to steer it in another direction.
I have always been able to connect with people and make them feel connected to me, but the ones that I reciprocate with I would call a special kind of love. It takes a special kind of person to get that out of me. While most people I meet are somehow attracted to me, once I decide to follow through with a friendship or relationship, that individual has my heart. I am not a needy friend, and I can go years without speaking to them, but when I see those select few (probably around a dozen of them in total), it almost hurts because I am filled with so much joy. I get goosebumps when I am around them and that is how I define love. When you have actual physical traits that spark when you are around someone that makes you feel a connection with them that differs from others that you are "friendly" with. That, to me, is love.
