What is love?
seriously, i've been giving this a fair amount over thought over the past few days.
i say i love my parents but thats sort of an obligatory thing that i would never question. i believe this because i have been told to believe and it just is what is.
i of course love all of my close friends but this is on a very different level. friends are the family members that you chose and i chose to love them. in this way, this type of love is somewhat easier to define. i know why i care for them, what i would do for them, why i would cry for them and the limitations to all of those things(few as they may be)
But what is romantic love? Do i even honestly believe that this exists? Is it a deeper level of friend love? is it really that heart wrenching high impact drama that disney and every chick flick and romance novel ever made strive to impale upon us? or is it something totally abstract and undefinable that one has to truly experience in order to have have a glimmer of its meaning?
i just don't know. maybe i'm stone on the inside and i never will. only time will tell...
