lost in confusion

i have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. you can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. there is no mistaking love, you feel it in your heart. it is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. it is our connection to God and to each other. to fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult. our human loneliness is cause enough, but it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.

the most wonderful of all things in life, i believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. this inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. it is a sort of Divine accident. love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it’s what you are expected to give — which is everything, stupid isn’t it? 

can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? einstein said that gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love (hahahaha!) but nothing beats charlie brown for his best quote on love - nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.

“love, if one has to put a gun on my head for me to define it, is a prayer made not to be heard by mortals who encapsulate love merely as a marriage contract, a promise, a person, a status quo, a song, an inspiration, a bible verse and others that attempt to define what it is. love is the reason why we are here.. love is also a purpose why we need to be here tomorrow. love is God’s work of art, it is you.” [totie]

“love is a feeling that everyone (sige na nga, most) would like to experience because it is said to be the most wonderful feeling in the world. to love someone means not to see beyond the imperfections, but to acknowledge these and help the other person to grow.  to grow and not to change the other person as love accepts what was, what is and what will be.  love is not about ultimate sacrifices, rather meeting halfway and making compromises. it is not temporal but something that will last for a lifetime, even beyond time.  in short, love is CRAP, hehe joke. basta, love is something very hard to define, for no words can do it justice because it is felt.  what can be described are its manifestations which varies from person to person.  therefore, love is both abstract and subjective.  sa akin, love is a need; a need to be with someone. a need that has to be satisfied because your happiness lies in that person. it is not something that goes away because love is forever. it is love when you stop making excuses for the other’s shortcomings just because you don’t give a damn. it is love when you stop trying to give an explanation for loving someone because you know that the person is reason enough for you to feel love.  and simply because there is no one particular reason. you just know that at the end of the day, there is no one you would rather be with than that person. ” [mids]

“love sucks.  bakit pa kasi naimbento yang hayop na love na yan!  love sucks pero in love ako kay Audrey Tautou.” [mark yuri]

“love…uhmmmm…wla ako maisip!” [erika]

“love is something you cant fully understand, but can be completely felt, cheers” [mikerapphone]

“love? hirap naman nyan!” [red]

“love- it is something that can’t be define with mere words. it is not a feeling nor an emotion. it is a mysterious thing that evolves around the world” [kamz]

“love is when a person is not complete without the other..love is when you are alone and you think of the loved person.  love is a concept that is made real although it is really the work of reacting hormones and the hypothalamus.” [william]

“love is when you drive each other crazy but remembering pa din na that the craziness is what keeps the love present and both parties sane and inlove …its beyond whats being felt!!! ahmmmmmm mahirap magisip ha.” [ma-ez]

sometimes we tend to be stupidly in love.  but remember, above all, don’t forget to love yourself.

“you’ll discover that real love is millions of miles past falling in love with anyone or anything.  when you make that one effort to feel compassion instead of blame or self-blame, the heart opens again and continues opening.”
