Random Thoughts: Love

LOVE: such a silly game we all play. Why is it important? What exactly is it? How do we know if we've found the Right One?

It's funny, really. We see all those dramas and rom-coms and what-nots and we get the idea that love usually comes quick and easy. OK, maybe slow at times. But is it all truth? How long do we have to wait for the One to appear? Minutes? Hours? Days? Months? Years? Decades? How long?

Does it matter whether he/she is beautiful? Does beauty count? Or is it in the eyes of the beholder? Does the personality count as well? Is he/she someone you can relate to? What do you feel when you see that person? Or when you talk? What is it that burns in our hearts, if such a sensation is truly felt? Joy? Sadness? Anxiety? Nervousness? What exactly?

If we pine for someone, does it really mean something? Is it love or infatuation? Or maybe even unrequited love? How are we supposed to know if he/she feels the same for us? Verbally? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Are we supposed to accept those feelings? And if in the end it ends up in flames, what do we do then? Move on? Linger? Regret?

Probably someone who is in Love can explain it to me? And our other readers who could use a tip or two? Enlighten us on this subject.
