Love it or Leave it?

[Felsi]

Hellos to all! Love is a common word around here (ESPECIALLY this month). There are many times when littles are quick to say something along the lines of loving someone to bits and pieces. I find it kind of interesting. For me, love is a fuzzy subject. I don't particularly like hearing someone use the term a lot because I feel like it loses its specialness. To be honest, I don't particularly believe love is an accurate word for any human to human feelings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Blehh! Trying to explain my thoughts is hard but my main question is this:

 

What is love to you? Are there different emotions felt between platonic love, materialistic love and love for a partner? Is it your go to word to describe a certain feeling or do you keep it to yourself? Is it gained or given? Or both?

 

All of your responses are valid I think! Love doesn't seem to have a concrete definition. Let me know your thoughts please? I'd love to hear them!!

Love to me is different from the feeling of being IN love. Love is caring for a person, and wanting to take care of them and support them emotionally, while being in love to me is dedicating your all to a person, and being there for them unconditionally, and sometimes putting them before your own needs. There are many many different emotions felt towards platonic love versus romantic love and such. Love is not ever my go to word, I would never throw the word love around. In my relationship now, and in my past ones, when I told someone that I loved them, I meant it. My partner now is the only partner whom personally I've felt in love with too. The emotion/feeling of love, is gained and also given. It is something special that should only be given to those who deserve it, and who will care for you in return. Love is one of the most complicated words to describe, and sometimes even feel.

Awesome response! I'm happy you're very happy with your partner!! I wish you the very best \(^.^)/

I feel like even when I feel "love" for a friend I hardly say it! Maybe things will change as I grow

To me there are different types of love. The love for my family, the love for my friends, the love for some materialistic things, the love for my job, they're all different.

 

Degrees of love maybe? That's the best way I can explain it I think.

 

Being IN love is very different than all of that to me. It's the kind of thing where I feel uplifted, happy, over the moon, supported, empowered, accepted, wanted, needed, considered, etc. It took my daddy and I a little bit to realize it, but when we did and we were both sure, everything just opened up even more. This love.....is different from everything else I've ever experienced.
